⚠️ Danger: 9.5

Azhi Dahaka is a legendary creature in Zoroastrian mythology, feared as a bringer of destruction and plague. He is described as having three heads, six eyes, and serpents growing from his shoulders that feed on human brains. His tale represents cosmic struggle between good and evil. In the *Shahnameh*, he is eventually defeated and chained inside a mountain, awaiting the end of the world. Scholars interpret him as a metaphor for tyranny or disease. Some believe his myth was based on early encounters with large reptiles or fossil finds. He is often cited as an archetypal dragon in Persian literature. No physical sightings exist, only historical myth.
