Zāl is always distinct from Sām and Rostam regarding his special heroic actions. He killing dragons and brings wealth to Irānshahr from a different and new narrative point of storytelling. The degradation of Zāl in the world champion’s battle had been discussed and is pointed out that Zāl in the process of turning myth to epics, the underlying structure related to the act of dragon slaying, or his primary archetype in battles with femiciding dragons, about the alliance with Rōdābeh, daughter of Mehrāb a descendant of dragons, who has a symbol of fertility in his domain, becomes the reason for redemption of Rōdābeh and also the birth of a power like Rostam, so that with the world championship being transferred to Rostam, he becomes the guardian of Iranshahr against the attacks of Afrāsiāb, who is descent of dragons. Purism demonstrates that, there are signs of, Mehr-Izad myth in Mehrab’s character.
