Arabic folklore
2 records of Arabic folklore — the beings, warnings and stories the tradition keeps, with sources.
GhūlA shape-changing, dangerous figure of Arabic folklore, often associated in translated accounts with wilderness, graveyards, and deception.NasnasIn Arabic wonder-literature the nasnās is a monopod half-human: half a head, half a body, one arm, one leg, hopping with great agility. Lane recorded that portrait from Nights scholarship; Shia exegesis sometimes places nisānīs on earth before Adam. Not a generic jinn.
