One of these beings threatens to burn down a palace when a princess tries to get an egg to hang from its ceiling.
One of these beings threatens to burn down a palace when a princess tries to get an egg to hang from its ceiling. Another of these beings offers a choice of deaths to the man who finds him, but later leads him to a pond of exotic fish that talk when fried; that one is initially restricted by a hexagram-shaped seal. Another of them became evil after arrogantly refusing to (*) bow before the first man. The marids, ghul, and ifrit belong to this class of beings, one of which is attached to a magic ring and rescues a young Chinese boy from a cave of treasures. For 10 points, name these mostly malevolent, but sometimes wish-granting spirits from Arabian mythology.
