A Fiery Efreeti Takes Form For Reaper Bones Black This Month
March 2, 2019 by brennon
A fiery Female Efreeti is the newest model in the Reaper Miniatures Bones Black range this month. Check out Zuba!
This new model is either available separately or included as part of a deal that Reaper have running throughout this year. She looks like a dangerous and deadly opponent to face on the tabletop, able to offer up any number of wishes which all most likely come with a catch.

I ordered $49 of stuff to get her but I wish they had a naked one (no not a miniature of an efreet in the nude, but rather the mini unpainted) so I could see better where the parts were fitted together. Should be here by Tuesday if they have it ready to drop in the mail by Monday morning. I ordered two of their new Dungeon Dweller packs ( a halfling henchman and a plague doctor with the bird beak mask.) four CAV tanks(no idea just picked ones that looked cool, 2 sets of 2 Lions and 2 sets… Read more »
The actual devil Woman?
Very nice.
Looking at that model and I am thinking I must have got an Efreet in my Reaper Bones pledge a couple of years ago. Not that exact one but very similar.
But here’s a question. Why do we have to say a “female Efreet”? Is it not obvious?
Encylopedia Britannica: “Ifrit, also spelled afreet, afrit, afrite, or efreet, Arabic (male) ʿifrīt or (female) ʿifrītah, in Islamic mythology and folklore, a class of powerful malevolent supernatural beings.”
So why did they not call her an Efreeta?
I never knew that but Efreetah is quite a nice sounding word
well, also the (obvious) reason they called her a “female efreeti” would be that Reaper makes minis mainly for the D&D crowd, and the monster is called “efreeti” in that game. Hence “female efreeti”.
I am not sure if they would call a male one “male efreeti” however.
“I am not sure if they would call a male one “male efreeti” however.”
That was my point. They also don’t refer to other miniatures in their range as, for example, “female fighter”. Each product is tagged with a number of keywords, of which male/female would be one if relevant, which are used by their figure finder.
They probably call it a female efreeti for their site search engine
Maybe, however their website uses tags, so in theory you can call any model anything you like as long as you tag it as female.
