Zuhri

A zuhri or zouhri () in North African folklore is a human-djinn hybrid child. Its feminine form is zuhriyya (). According to some beliefs, zuhris possess physical and supernatural traits that distinguish them from normal children, and make their blood valuable and sought after for various magical rituals, especially the hunt for old treasures, believed to be hidden or protected by the djinn.

While such superstitions have mostly disappeared in Morocco, or are not taken as seriously as in the past, several instances of violence, kidnapping and even murder of children in Morocco, may be related to attempts at finding hidden treasures using "zuhri" children. They may be subject to kidnapping by human traffickers, to be resold at a hefty price to treasure hunters. In Algeria, media outlets report similar cases of kidnapping and murder of "zuhri" children.
