Djinn

A djinn (inspired of 'what we do in the shadows')

Individual jinn appear on charms and talismans. They are called upon for protection or magical aid, often under the leadership of a king. Many people who believe in jinn wear amulets to protect themselves against the assaults of the jinn, sent out by sorcerers and witches. A commonly held belief is that jinn cannot hurt someone who wears something with the name of God written on it. While some scholars in the past had ambivalent attitudes towards jinn, increasingly associate jinn with idolatry.

Although usually invisible, jinn are supposed to be composed of thin and subtle bodies, and can change at will. They favor a cockroach or a snake form, but can also choose to appear as scorpions, lizards, or humans. They may even engage in sexual affairs with humans and produce offspring. If they are injured by someone, they usually seek revenge or possess the assailant's body, requiring exorcism. Jinn rarely meddle in human affairs, preferring to live with their own kind in tribes. To being summoned, Djinn granted others' wishes, and was keen on finding loopholes to try and teach the dangers of greed and desire

Jinn, also romanized as djinn or anglicized as genies, are invisible creatures in early pre-Islamic Arabia and later in Islamic culture and beliefs. Like humans, they are accountable for their deeds and can be either believers or disbelievers, depending on whether they accept God's guidance. Jinn are neither innately evil nor innately good. Jinn are not a strictly Islamic concept, having been adapted from pagan beliefs.
