Notes
The proud Marid are the strongest warriors among the noble race of the blue djinn. They possess amazing magical powers, and their prowess in battle is truly fearsome. However, their undeniable power as well as their race's natural tendency towards pride make them vulnerable to the temptations of vanity and arrogance. The Marid, being devout followers of the prophet Daraman's teachings, try to resist these temptations as well as they can, but it has happened before that a Marid strayed from the true path and succumbed to the corruption and the lowly desires that are hidden deep in the soul of every djinn. Beware of such fallen Marid, because they are no better than the Efreet, the Marids' green-skinned djinn cousins and arch-enemies.
These strong creatures are usually found in groups and with many Blue Djinn. In the Blue Djinn Fortress, they are also accompanied by Scarabs and Fire Elementals.

Strategy
Wear a Dwarven Ring at all times when facing these. If hunting in the Ashta'daramai, bring a good blocker and a druid that can use Eternal Winter. Because of the large number of creatures in the small rooms of the Blue Djinn Fortress (and that they all have strong distance attacks), you can lose up to 800 or more hitpoints just from "peeking" up the steps. Even though this creature only yields 410 experience points, they can be as deadly as a Dragon Lord.
