A Marid is a type of supernatural being found in Arabic folklore, particularly within Islamic mythology. Often depicted as a powerful and rebellious spirit, Marids are associated with water and the sea. They are known for their ability to grant wishes, but they can also be temperamental and difficult to control. In stories, Marids are typically portrayed as larger-than-life figures, often appearing in tales like those found in One Thousand and One Nights. Unlike other jinn, Marids are considered to be more formidable and are often depicted as having a strong sense of pride and independence.
