The Djinn was a creature capable of assuming a giant form and showing the remarkable strength afforded by its form.[1]
History[]
In 1997, Principal Snyder arranged for several old lockers to be acquired from a salvage company for use in Sunnydale High School. Unknown to him, one of the lockers contained a bottle that imprisoned a Djinn. When the bottle started clattering inside one of the lockers, Principal Snyder declared that he owned it. The locker then broke open, causing the bottle to tumble out and open, releasing the Djinn. The Djinn then started wreaking havoc across the school, turning into its giant form and demolishing several walls while also terrifying students and Snyder, who declared that he would sue the salvage company. Buffy Summers then challenged it, shooting three crossbows into its body. She then signalled Willow Rosenberg, who started to summon a temporal portal even as Buffy continued to be attacked by the Djinn. The Djinn was eventually pulled into the portal. When Snyder asked where the Djinn had gone into, Willow speculated that it could be in Paris in 1920, or Mars in 2002 among several possibilities.[1]
