[[Leviathan!Sam]] said that he once had a brother with many issues, and that he ate him in the end – so they are not averse to cannibalism. This is later shown when [[Dick Roman]] eats [[Victor]] and [[George]] plans to eat [[Joyce Bicklebee]], with George telling the Winchesters that a Leviathan eating another is one of the only ways to kill them.
"Bibbing" was first mentioned by Dick Roman when he told [[Valente]]: "Next time, call me with a win. For your sake. Please don't make me bib you."<ref name="seven06">[[7.06 Slash Fiction]]</ref> When Dick decides that Dr. Gaines' experiments are drawing too much media attention, he decides to bib him. This involves literally placing a bib on him, and then Dr. Gaines eats himself until nothing is left – except a goo stained bib. This is one of the only known methods of eradicating a single leviathan Leviathan for good.
Sam and Dean refer to them as "big mouths."
* Super strength – They are shown to possess greatly enhanced strength; at their first meeting, they are able to hurl Dean and Bobby across a room with little effort.
* Healing/Endurance – Leviathans are extremely resilient, surviving multiple shotgun blasts with silver shot, including one to the head at point blank range. One also survived and reassembled itself after being crushed by a falling car. They can even re-attach their heads if decapitated.<ref name="seven02">[[7.02 Hello, Cruel World]]</ref><ref name="seven06">[[7.06 Slash Fiction]]</ref>
* Can kill angels – Episode [[7.21 Reading Is Fundamental]] shows that Leviathans can predate angels, which allow them to overpower angels them easily. They are immune to an angel's power and can kill them by forcing their fists into the angel's stomach, causing the angel to then ooze black goo and die.
* Flight – In [[Purgatory]] Leviathans are able to fly through the air in the form of meteors of black ooze that crash into the ground and take on a humanoid form.

* Blood of the Fallen – The [[Tablets|Leviathan tablet]] states that a Leviathan can be killed by a bone of a righteous mortal soaked in the blood of the fallen. The bone must come from someone as light and good as the Leviathan are hungry and dark. There are three fallen whose blood is required; the first of these is a [[fallen angel]] (Castiel's blood qualifiesqualified). The other two fallen are the ruler of fallen humanity (meaning [[Crowley]], the King of Hell) and a father of fallen beasts (an [[Alpha]]). Once this weapon is assembled, the Leviathan only needs to be given a fatal blow to be killed, but it can result in those nearby being pulled to [[Purgatory]] with the Leviathan soul.* Borax – Leviathans are highly susceptible to materials that contain the chemical compound borax (sodium borate) such as household cleaning products. Contact with their skin results in an instant burning effect that can reduce them to charcoal-like husks if they are exposed to too much. It is suggested that they A Leviathan will eventually heal from the effects, howeverthough the length of time depends on the severity of exposure. Their leaderHowever, [[Dick Roman]], may was shown to be less susceptible to the chemical, healing nearly instantly after a borax bomb blew up in his face.<ref name="seven09">[[7.09 How to Win Friends and Influence Monsters]]</ref>
* Beheading – Removing a Leviathan's head disables them temporarily. But unless the head is kept far away from the body it will re-attach itself. The combination of burning them with borax and then beheading them and separating the head and the body appears to be the only way to put them down indefinitely, assuming the head has no way of finding its way back to the body.
* Witchcraft – Leviathans show susceptibility to witchcraft. It can incapacitate them temporarily.
