And I say HEYYEYAAEYAAAEYAEYAA

Marids were introduced to AD&D in module S4: The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth by Gary Gygax (1982), which included a second booklet "Monsters and Magical Items" full of new stats.

Marids are the most powerful of geniekind, formed from the material of the Elemental Plane of Water. They all claim titles of high authority, and look down on djinn, dao, and efreet.

Most illustrations in Booklet 2 were by Jim Holloway and an uncredited Harry Quinn, with a few by Jeff Easley.

WHICH WOULD YOU RATHER SMASH?

Jabali (Shaitan)

Faydhaan (Marid)

On the left is the earth genie, the Jabali! These are 10 ft (3 m) tall gambling merchants. They're good with thier hands and respect fellow craftspeople, as well as physical skill in general. They have innate magic to create and shape stone to thier will. None of thier fellow genies' shapeshifting, but if they push you into a wall it will mold itself to restrain you. Jabali are straightforward, granting wishes directly and quickly as possible. A wish for wealth could result in being teleported directly onto the nearest pile of gold (a dragon's horde, bank vault, who knows!)

On the right is the Faydhann, the water genie! They're 10 ft (3 m) tall, strong as the ocean currents, but actually love diplomacy and flattery over strength. They're performers, dancers, musicians, storytellers! They can shapeshift into elementals, aquatic creatures, and humanoids. and have plenty of innate magic to push people around with water, create it, and control it. They can also turn invisible, and make you able to breathe in water. They do have a code of hospitality and manners they expect you to follow, but they also make you magically better at catching social cues, so it evens out. When these grant a wish, they usually do so in a way they find funny. So a wish for wealth may have you tripping over bags of loose change your whole life, or finding gold coins under your tongue.

Redrawn genies, using a system similar to the centaurs (top half-bottom half). That should hopefully make making variants easier and more unique.
