Karl,
> Rather, these are translated into fantastic
vague terms such as: Leviathan, dragon or behemoth.
All of which can be used to mean any fictitious
monster.

The sea monsters mentioned here are direct
borrowing from ancient Canaanite poetry as
preserved in Ugaritic.
There exists quite a scholarly literature
on the subject.
BTW, the following remark does not refer to
anything you wrote, Karl:
It is indeed sad that the author/s of Exodus
did not concieve of this work as a tour Guide,
or Baedecker of Egypt.
