I have no idea how to properly phrase it and in the end I can't be bothered with googling.

But to me, Kun Peng the giant flying fish should not it.

It has the dao of swallowing, means it is good at swallowing.

It does not mean that it encompasses everything.

I don't think there is a mythical creature as such, only some fictional. I guess Tiamat would be close tho.

I know in some schools of western mysticism, god is seen as the universe itself. All things good or bad are just part of him. However that is about where my knowledge ends.

may be not mythical creature but religious creature.

The only thing that fit the bill is Baphomet the divine demonic goat of darkness.

It represents the duality of the universe: right-wrong, light-darkness, life-death, evil-good, positive-negative. In this sense, it is representing everything including the holiest to the unholiest.

Ouroboros. The serpent that eats its tail. Eternal cycle stuff.

Chaos from Greek myth.

The cosmic egg.

It is a very interesting dichotomy. Speaking of dichotomy, would you like to hear a short exposé on the dichotomy inherent withing a short story named "the tragedy of Darth Plaguies the Wise"? I wrote a doctorate thesis on it and can be considered somewhat of leading authority in ToDPtW studies.

Something like the cow creation goddess of Indo-European myth, maybe? Audhumbla and the like? You know, the ones who appear in the void of everything, and feeds the rest of creation.
