Illustration of a Shiqq in Ajā’ib al-makhlūqāt wa-gharā’ib al-mawjūdāt, 13th-century

Shiqq are a type of jinn that are considered lower in rank and are described as only being half-formed, resulting in a monstrous appearance.[1] They were mentioned in pre-Islamic accounts. After Islam, they remained a part of Arab Bedouin folklore, overlapping to some extent with the ghoul.[2]
