Summary
Supernatural, shape-shifting, intelligent, and blessed with free will and remarkable powers, jinn have over the ages been given many names-demon, spirit, ghoul, genie, ifrit, and shaitan. Neither human nor immortal, they roam the earth inhabiting dark and empty places, luring humans to their deaths or demonically possessing them if harmed or offended. Despite the fact they cannot be seen, jinn are said to be strangely humanlike-marrying, bearing children, forming communities and tribes, playing, and facing judgment like any other human.
