Ahzi Dahaka

Encyclopedia : A : AH : AHZ : Ahzi Dahaka

Ahzi Dahaka (or Azidahaka, Azhi Dehaka) was, in Zoroastrian demonology, the giant serpent that destroyed the first mortal by cutting him in two. Interestingly, the first mortal referred to here is not the Zoroastrian variant of Adam, but of Noah the survivor of the great flood.

The Azhi Dahaka are also a fictional race of immortals featured in "the Everlasting", a series of Role Playing Game books published originally by Visionary Entertainment. In this context, the name refers to a supernatural creature that has stolen and consumed the soul of at least one dragon.
