Jinn (جن, jinn), also Romanized as djinn or Anglicized as genies (with the more broad meaning of spirit File:Icon External Link.svgs or demon File:Icon External Link.svgs, depending on source),[2][3] are supernatural File:Icon External Link.svg creatures in early pre-Islamic Arabian and later Islamic mythology File:Icon External Link.svg and theology. Since jinn are neither innately evil nor innately good, Islam was able to adapt spirits from other religions during its expansion. Jinn are not a strictly Islamic concept; rather, they may represent several pagan beliefs integrated into Islam.[4][5]

Genies in Dungeons & Dragons are classified as elementals, creatures from the Elemental Planes. They are powerful beings sometimes refered to as "princes of elementals".
