What does that have to do with the Witcher games? Except that the djinn in the game/book are inspired from the Islamic-folklore creatures? (not unique btw, cockatrices, ghouls & most of the monsters in the games/books are inspired from various folklore/mythology stories)

And also how is it "creepy"? Invisible creatures are fairly common in many folklores. I guess there's a sort of universal fascination with the unknown &  "things that go bump in the night" & every culture creates ways to explain the little unknown & unexplainable things that seem to be just beyond our perception. Usually the explanation is to say that some "invisible critter" exists that does things; probably because the story of some creature that does something is met with the question of "If a [creature] did it, then how come I didn't see any [creature] there?" of course the anwer is then "Because [creatures] are invisible!" .

So how is an invisible "djinn" from Muslim mythology anymore creepy than a "daemon" from Greek mythology? Or a pixie or a brownie? Or even a ghost?
