He is a huge being and is skilled in sorcery. He destroys the army of Kay Kavus by conjuring a dark storm of hail, boulders, and tree trunks. He then captures Kay Kavus, his commanders, and paladins; he blinds them and imprisons them in a dungeon. The greatest Persian mythical hero Rostam undertakes his &#8220;Seven Labours&#8221; to free his sovereign. In the end, Rostam slays Deev-e Sefid and uses his heart and blood to cure the blindness of the king and the captured Persian heroes. Rostam also takes the Deev&#8217;s head as a helmet and is often pictured wearing it.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-17040 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure
