The Ifrit were among the most numerous of the tribes, and the most violently opposed to Islam. Their main homes are in abandoned or desolate places. They seek the violent death of their enemies, and it is rumored that the Old Man in the Mountain is part Ifrit, or has them as allies. Iblis was their great leader who was corrupted by a demon, and led his tribe away from Islam. He nearly destroyed the Jann and many of their human allies in a great battle in the mountains south of Makkah. Only with the massive intervention of the Marid were the Ifrit with their Shaitan and demonic allies defeated. The Ifrit lost most of their host in the battle, though even today they are among the most powerful of the Djinn, with allies both demonic and mundane. The may appear as a soldier, or a great dog. The Ifrit often move across land as a great tornado of dust, or on magical camels made of sand and evil magic. They may also strike as giant serpents or scorpions spitting fire.
