Jinni
In Semitic and Arab mythology and Islamic religion, a jinni (or "djinni" or, as it is often anglicized, "genie") is a member of the jinn, a race of spirits.For the ancient Semites they were descendants of disappeared ancient peoples who acted during the night and vanished with the first light of dawn; they could make themselves invisible or change shape into animals at will; these spirits were commonly made responsible for diseases and for the manias of some lunatics who claimed that they were tormented by the jinn.
The Arabs believed that the jinn were spirits of fire, although sometimes they associated them with succubi, beautiful women who visited men by night to copulate with them until they were exhausted, drawing energy from the man similarly to how vampires suck blood.
In Islam, the jinn are creatures with free will, made of fire by Allah, much in the same way humans were made of earth. In Islam-associated mythology, the jinn were said to be controllable by magically binding them to objects, as Suliman famously did; the Spirit of the Lamp in the story of Aladdin was such a jinni, bound to an oil lamp.
A jinni is the main antagonist of the Wishmaster movies.
