Angra Mainyu made Zohak kill his father and take over his throne.
When this was done, Angra Mainyu worked as a chef for Zohak,
who promised him a gift for what he had done.
Angra Mainyu wished to lay his face on the shoulders of Zohak.
After that, he disappeared, but at the spot where his face had
touched Zohak’s shoulders, snakes were growing.
Even after having them cut off, they kept on growing.
When Zohak sent for a doctor, Angra Mainyu came disguised,
and told Zohak to feed the snakes with human brains.
After having done that, Zohak became a demon himself.
One day, he was prophesied that a human being named
Feridun will kill him, so he had all children killed,
but Feridun survived and killed Zohak when grown up.
