Reap, ten-headed king of the giants from the kingdom of Lanka, is a deamon , servant of destructive god Shiva.
His sister Surpanakha tried to seduce Pheah Ream.
Preah Lak punished her by shaving her head.
In revenge, Surpanakha fuelled Reap's hatred for Preah Ream by making him fall in love with Neang Seda.
Sbaek Touch (literally "small leather"), which was originally performed from village to village, uses smaller puppets and tells ancient and contemporary folktales with comic characters.

Hanuman
The Reamker ( or Khmer Ramayana)
Preah Ream ( Rama in the Ramayana)
Preah Ream is the seventh incarnation of Vishnu, from whom he inherited perfection, might and kindness.
He is destined to kill the deamon Reap.
Ousted from his father's throne that should have been his by right, Preah Ream exiled himself into the wilderness with Neng Seda and Preah Lak.
