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 happiest dreams.

==Episodes==
[[Dean]] and [[Sam]] are tracking a djinn, and when Sam tells Dean that, according to his research, they live in "ruins, usually –- the bigger, the better," Dean recalls a warehouse that he passed a while back and decides to investigate it on his own. In the warehouse, Dean finds the djinn but is overpowered and poisoned. After he is poisoned, he finds himself in a [[wish-verse]] based on his innermost desire for his mother not to have been killed when he was a child. In this alternate reality, [[Dean]] and [[Sam]] are not hunters, and so have not become close. Dean wants to believe that the djinn granted his wish, but becomes convinced that he is only dreaming. He wakes himself up by killing himself inside the vision, and when he returns to reality he is bound and weak. [[Sam]] is there trying to wake him, and starts to cut him down before being attacked by the djinn. Dean manages to break free and stab the djinn with a silver knife dipped in lamb’s blood, killing it.
===[[6.01 Exile on Main St.]]===
Djinn are hunting [[Dean]] and [[Sam]] and, unlike the djinn in [[2.20 What Is and What Should Never Be]], they are not "cave-dwelling hermits," but are able to pass as human. A djinn named [[Brigitta]] poses as a waitress and touches Dean's arm to infect him with her poison. Her touch makes Dean hallucinate his worst fears, including the return of [[Azazel]]. He seems on the verge of a panic attack when he is saved by Sam, who injects him with an antidote to the djinn's poison. [[Sam]] tells Dean that he was also poisoned by the djinn and that they both would have died without the antidote, which he got from their grandfather [[Samuel Campbell]].

After getting [[Lisa]] and [[Ben]] to safety, Dean and Sam act as bait for the djinn. Instead of coming for them directly, the djinn attack and poison Dean's neighbor [[Sid]] and his wife. Dean goes to try and save them, but finds them dead with their eyes white. It is unclear if they had time to hallucinate, or if the dose of poison was so high that they died instantly. While Dean checks on Sid and his wife, he is attacked by Brigitta and another djinn. Brigitta gives Dean a second, stronger dose of poison through her touch and tells him, "That's for our father," implying that the djinn [[Sam]] and [[Dean]] killed in [[2.20]] was her father, and the other two djinn with her are her brothers.
[[Crowley]] reveals that [[Castiel]] did kill all of the monsters in his prison except the [[Alpha Vampire]] who escaped. This means [[Brigitta]] was killed.
