Encyclopedia > Afreet

Ifrit, also spelled efreet, also ifreet, afrit (Arabic: Afreet:عفريت, pl, Afareet: عفاريت), are a kind of Jinn from Arabic mythology. Supposedly the Jinn are broken in to five classes, each more powerful than the last. These classes are jinn, jann, ifrit, maryut, and shaitan. This typology, though widely used in fantasy fiction and role playing games appears to be of European origin and has no real basis in Arabic lore.


Ifrit in Square-Enix projects

In some console role playing games by Japanese video game producer, Ifrit is a demon of fire{human or beast_like}, often summoned by a summoner (or "caller") to aid the characters in battle. His attacks include 'Meteor Strrke' & 'HellFire'

LIS 685: Arabian Nights (2418 words)
The brothers quickly hide in the tree and watch as the afreet opens the chest and removes a beautiful maiden, and then proceeds to lie down and fall asleep with his head in her lap.
She explains that though the afreet kidnapped her a virgin on her wedding night and keeps her locked in a chest beneath the sea, she has still slept with whomever she pleases.
The two brothers realize that if an afreet as powerful as this can be cuckolded so completely, perhaps their own problems were not as dire as they thought.
