Could Zahak Be Identified as A Female?

Though Zahak is called the male dragon, he can be considered as female based on some signs which are presented in the following: 1. The greed demon is female in Manicheanism; therefore, Zahak could be female as well; in Shahnameh, as his reward for Zahak’s services, Satan kissed his shoulder which is usually kissed by an intimate relative of the opposite sex; this is a sign of Zahak’s unusual sex; 2. Zahak of Shahnameh and the female Mordianag in Manicheanism are both agents of Evil aiming at eliminating man from the world; their common goal could be a sing of their same sex; 3. After years of living thgether, Shahrnaz and Arnavaz have no child by Zahak which could be a sign of his impotency; 4. Some researchers believe that the word Arnavaz which is referred to as a female noun in Avestan Yashts, is the adjective for Azhdahakeh separated from it and brought in texts as a woman called Arnavaz; 5. Another researcher compares Zahac with his counterpart in Buddhism, Nagi, who has two snakes on his shoulders and is a female; 6. Azhidahak of Avesta rose from water, and Azhdahak of Bondahesh in Sepidroud of Azerbaijan seeks his wishes from demons and Evil; he brings about chaos in the cosmic order and destroys social classes; features that can be seen in the case of Tiamat, the Mesopotamian goddess; 7. Some Islamic texts have written that Zahak behaves as a woman.
