Theli (or ThLi, Thele, Teli, TLI, Tali) is the name of the great dragon according to the Sefer Yetzirah. It is said to hold its tail in its mouth, and it is constantly seeking a way to gain entry into heaven. His whole body envelopes the universe. This Serpent sounds similar to the Oborous Serpent.^{[citations needed]}

In theology, dragons and serpents are associated with Satan. Theli is the same as the leviathan in the book of Job.
