Unlike Christian demons, djab (diables: devils) are hot spirits that work fast. It requires an expert to know how to manage them. The group associated with Mèt Ti Jean (Maître Petit-Jean) belongs to this set of Petwo lwa, together with Grandmère Batala. The name Batala stems from the creator in the African Yoruba culture, the god Obatala.
