The Dungeons and Dragons version of Tiamat is the Queen of Chromatic Dragons and (at least in 1st Edition D&D) rules the first plane of the 9 Hells. While she may be inspired by the original Tiamat, she has no relation to the Mother Goddess figure outside of the name and should be considered a seperate character. In Final Fantasy, she is invariably the fiend of wind, quite different from the Babylonian deity who is the living embodiment of salt-water.
