According to popular belief Zaw-Gyi is a demigod clad in red,   full of vigour, who lives in the forest. He always carries a   magic stick. He has a friendly face, which also expresses his   philosophical mind. As he is an Alchemist, he grinds medical   plants with his magic stick on a stone slab. When he achieves   success, he dances about and does a lot of acrobatics and he   even sits on his magic stick. He is puppet character who is   capable of flying through the air and boring through the earth.
