==History==
Little is known of djinn history, their origins appear to come from the Middle East, as Castiel claimed to have battled with a pack guarding the [[Tree of Life]] in Syria and possibly technically becoming married to the djinn queenin exchange for receiving the fruit.
==Characteristics==
Djinn are best classified as genies and are able to read a person's mind to learn their deepest desires; however, the djinn do not truly grant wishes like the genies of lore. Instead, they send their victims into a [[Wish-verse|fantasy universe]] where they believe their wish has been granted while the djinn can drink their blood slowly over the course of days. Time passes slowly enough in the fantasy universe that the djinn's victims will feel as if they're living an entire lifetime before their physical bodies die.<ref name="two20"/>
There is a variant form, referred to as a "bastard off-shoot" by [[Dean Winchester]], that possesses the same powers and weaknesses, but turns the victim's insides to "jelly" and feeds on fear rather than happiness. To this effect, they trap people in hallucinations of their worst nightmares rather than their happy dreams. Unlike regular djinn when they poison their victims, they leave behind a blue handprint.<ref name="eight20">[[8.20 Pac-Man Fever]]</ref>
