Middle Eastern and Islamic folklore, djinn (or jinn) are grouped into several classes based on their power, habits, and where they live. The main types range from fierce fire-spirits and sea giants to shape-shifters haunting graveyards. [1, 2, 3]

Major Classes of Djinn

• Marid: The most powerful and ancient class. They are often linked to water, the sea, and vast magical knowledge. Folklore often connects them to classic wish-granting genies.
• Ifrit: Strong, cunning, and fiery spirits. They are known for being rebellious, volatile, and dangerous to control.
• Ghul (Ghoul): Shape-shifting scavengers that live in ruins and graveyards. They are notorious in lore for feeding on flesh.
• Si’lat: Highly skilled shape-shifters. They are known to move fast and can trick travelers by taking human form.
• Jann: Considered by some traditions to be the ancestral, primordial race of djinn that existed before Adam, often tied to the desert.
• Hinn: Weaker, animal-like djinn that frequently appear in the form of dogs or other common creatures.[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

Traditional Islamic Categorizations

Classic religious texts and scholarly works also sort jinn by their physical nature and movement rather than just tribal myth: [1, 2]

• The Fliers: Jinn that have wings and travel through the air.
• The Serpents and Dogs: Jinn that manifest physically as creeping or domestic animals.
• The Travelers: Jinn that move about, stop, and rest on journeys.
• Amir: Resident jinn that live alongside humans in houses and buildings. [1, 2, 3]

Assuming you meant the 13 Tribes of the Garou (werewolves) from the tabletop role-playing game Werewolf: The Apocalypse (rather than vampire “clans”), the Garou Nation is historically comprised of thirteen major allied tribes. [1, 2, 3]

The 13 Tribes of the Garou

• Black Furies: A female-dominated Greek-origin tribe devoted to protecting the wild and oppressed women.
• Bone Gnawers: Urban survivors living among human outcasts, masters of street-level guerrilla tactics.
• Children of Gaia: Peace-advocating diplomats trying to bridge the gap between humans and werewolves.
• Fianna: Celtic lorekeepers, bards, and storytellers with deep mystic ties.
• Get of Fenris: Norse-inspired, brutal, and ferocious warriors obsessed with strength.
• Glass Walkers: Technologically adept urbanites who navigate human digital networks.
• Red Talons: Pure wolf-born (Lupus) werewolves who heavily mistrust or despise humanity.
• Shadow Lords: Machiavellian political schemers striving for dominance over the other tribes.
• Silent Striders: Cursed, wandering messengers exiled long ago from their ancestral Egyptian homelands.
• Silver Fangs: The historic, noble leaders of the Garou descended directly from the progenitor spirit.
• Stargazers: Asian mystic-monks and philosophers who eventually left the Western alliance.
• Uktena: Native American and global indigenous guardians of hidden lore and forbidden magics.
• Wendigo: Arctic-dwelling indigenous traditionalists guarding the frozen northern wilderness. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

If you meant vampire clans instead (which famously has 13 main Camarilla/Sabbat clans), or if you want details on a specific werewolf tribe’s gifts and weaknesses, let me know!

the World of Darkness setting from Vampire: The Masquerade, the thirteen classic clans define vampire society. Descended from mythical third-generation Antediluvians, each clan shares unique blood curses and powers. They include the Assamites / Banu Haqim, Brujah, Followers of Set / Ministry, Gangrel, Giovanni / Hecata, Lasombra, Malkavian, Nosferatu, Ravnos, Toreador, Tremere, Tzimisce, and Ventrue. [1, 2, 3, 4]

The 13 Clans Overview

• Banu Haqim (Assamites): Judge and assassin blood-drinkers who seek to punish sinful kindred.
• Brujah: Passionate rebels, philosophers, and fighters who spark social change and revolutions.
• Gangrel: Wild, solitary nomads who live close to nature and transform into animals.
• Hecata (Giovanni): Necromancers and death-obsessed handlers of corpses and ghosts.
• Lasombra: Ruthless manipulators of shadows who lead the dark packs.
• Malkavian: Seers and mad prophets bound together by a shared network of insight and insanity.
• Ministry (Followers of Set): Tempters and cultists who use human vices to break down morality.
• Nosferatu: Hideous, deformed monsters forced to live hidden in the sewers as master spies.
• Ravnos: Deceptive wanderers, tricksters, and illusionists.
• Toreador: Sensual artists and lovers of beauty, culture, and human emotion.
• Tremere: Hermetic blood sorcerers bound by strict pyramid hierarchies.
• Tzimisce: Alien flesh-crafters and monstrous lords of transformation.
• Ventrue: Noble, aristocratic rulers and guardians of vampire society. [1, 2, 3, 4]

The 12 tribes of Israel descend from Jacob (later named Israel), whose 12 sons—Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Joseph, and Benjamin—formed the foundational family groups. Because Levi served as priests without a land section, and Joseph was split into two tribes via his sons Ephraim and Manasseh, the active land-inheriting tribal lists vary slightly. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

The Original Sons of Jacob

• Reuben: Jacob’s firstborn son through Leah.
• Simeon: Second son of Leah.
• Levi: Third son of Leah; descendants became the priests of the tabernacle.
• Judah: Fourth son of Leah, whose lineage led to King David and Jesus.
• Dan: Son of Rachel’s maid Bilhah.
• Naphtali: Second son of Bilhah.
• Gad: Son of Leah’s maid Zilpah.
• Asher: Second son of Zilpah.
• Issachar: Fifth son of Leah.
• Zebulun: Sixth son of Leah.
• Joseph: First son of Rachel; replaced by his sons in land distributions.
• Benjamin: Second son of Rachel. [1, 2, 3, 4]

The Land-Inheriting Tribes

When the Israelites entered the Promised Land, the 12 territorial portions adjusted due to Levi’s priestly exemption and Joseph’s division: [1, 2, 3]

• Reuben
• Simeon
• Judah
• Issachar
• Zebulun
• Dan
• Naphtali
• Gad
• Asher
• Benjamin
• Ephraim (Joseph’s son)
• Manasseh (Joseph’s son) [1]
