PERI (4)
Peri
In Persian mythology, the Peri or Feri (Persian: پری‎ pari Arabic: جنية fari or ) are a type of creature comparable to faries. In earlier sources they are known as Pairikas and are described as agents of evil; later, they are benevolent, exquisite, winged-like creatures. They sometimes visit the realm of humans.
Peris were the target of a lower level of evil beings called دیوسان divs (دَيۋَ daeva), who persecuted them by locking them in iron cages. This persecution was brought about by, as the divs perceived it, the peris' lack of sufficient self-esteem to join the rebellion against perversion.
