Dajinn

American animated stories of lovable genies actually have their basis in stories of exotic spirits who had the power to grant people's wishes... for the right price.
Not all stories of the dajinn are actually evil... many Dajinn appear to be morally neutral in orientation, seemingly supernatural beings acting out their natures. In some Islamic traditions some Dajinn are actually believers in God and fight on the side of the Light.
