Sarsaok
aka: Hadhayosh
A primordial cow in Zoastrian mythology of Persia. This cow carried the first humans across the ocean known as Voutukasha. By using the fat of this beast and combining it with the white haoma herbs of sacrifice, a wave of immortality will be produced and there will be a resurrection of all those that have done good in their lives.
The Sarsaok resembles a gigantic ox with a skin made of polished brass and a mane of pure flames. Six huge solid brass horns sprout from the creatures' head with one pair at the sides like that of a common ox while the other two pairs curve frontwards like that of some accursed demon. Each Sarsaok is said to be exactly 52 feet tall and weighing approximately 57 tonnes. The precision of proportion for all these creatures gives more evidence to support the theory that the Sarsaok were created by a very precise god of the forge.
Despite their massive size and incredible power, the Sarsaok behave very much similarly like the modern mundane ox, spending most part of their lifetime wandering around grazing. Their behaviour and habits are although quite peculiar and interesting to study. Their bodies seem to require a very little amount of food for a creature so vast feeding on only the foliage of a few trees to keep them going for weeks. They also possess the sustenance against any type of liquid they drink or touch, for instance, hot magma. The Sarsaok for reasons beknownst to them, avoid visiting a place twice and leaving it for at least an year before coming back to it. Although seeming harmless, the Sarsaok can charge and attack ferociously if threatened, and only the mightiest dragon would dare challenge them.
The Sarsaok(Hadhayosh) is often likened to the Behemoth of modern and Hebrew culture.
