Hinn (mythology)

According to some folklore, hinn are believed to be still alive and take the shape of dogs.[1]

Hinn (Arabic: حنّ) are both a kind of supernatural creature in Arabian lore—along with jinn and various kinds of devils (shaitan)—as well as a pre-Adamitic race in Islam-related beliefs.[2] Their existence, along with that of binn, timm, and rimm, is accepted by the Druze.[3]: “Ḥinn” [3]: “Binn”
