A peri was a kind of fairy in Persian mythology which started off evil before turning good. (TV: The Twin Dilemma) In the myths, the peri were the savage descendants of King Solomon's djinn and their human wives. They were inspired by the Mal'akh. (PROSE: The Book of the War) The newly-regenerated and temporarily-deranged Sixth Doctor took this as sufficient reason to attempt to kill his companion Peri. (TV: The Twin Dilemma)
