Ifrit
Middle East Deserts
Origin and tradition
Islamic and Arabic folklore places Ifrit among powerful jinn, often fiery, rebellious, and dangerously proud.
Illustration in this atlas
A dark winged, humanlike figure with fiery accents stands in a desert. Wings and fire occur in popular descriptions, but the precise face, claws, and muscular build are the artist's choices; ifrit traditions do not specify one universal anatomy.
