It's called a Marid. It's a freaky-looking little thing isn't it? As long as you feed it, it gives you money, it gives you health, it gives you everything you ever dreamed of.

A Marid is a type of creature that can grant riches and health in exchange for the blood of innocents.

History

On his final hunt before retiring, hunter Lee Webb found a Marid. Capturing the Marid, Lee spent over a decade feeding the Marid blood in exchange for riches and health.

Lee attempted to feed Dean to the Marid, but Dean was able to break free and kill the Marid and Lee.
