Djinn (also known as Jinn in the SNES/PS version) is an enemy in Chrono Trigger that appears in the Ocean Palace in Antiquity. Djinn appear as gaseous humanoid formations.
Battle and Strategy[]
Highly adept at casting and resisting Magical Techs, Djinn is often accompanied by Ghul, which protect them from physical blows. Once the Ghul is destroyed, the Djinn's resistances are severely weakened.
Name Origin[]
In Islamic and other Middle Eastern Traditions, Djinn are mystical beings created before Humans by a sole, divine entity. These creatures, coveting the love shown to them by this deity and coveting their free will, Djinn terrorizes the lives of humans, similar to Christian Demons. Often, in these traditions, Djinn is depicted as Genies who inhabit lamps. Once the lamp is stroked, the Genie emerges and grants the possessor three wishes which it actuates through the use of magic.
