Zao Shen

Zao Shen or Zao Jun, was the Kitchen God of Chinese folk religion and mythology. He is a very important domestic God.

Powers & Abilities

 * Immortality - As a god, Zao Shen did not age and could have lived forever. He claimed to be older than Odin, who is over 3,000 years old, though Odin claimed that that was never proven.
 * Invulnerability - Zao Shen could not be permanently harmed by mortal means, save for certain types of stakes such as the one wielded by Dean Winchester.
 * Super Strength - Zao Shen overpowered a man for the gods to kill. He later lifted Sam off the ground by the throat with one hand and choked him.

Season 5
Shen was one of the many gods who came to the hotel set to trap Sam and Dean to discuss the coming Apocalypse. He got into a fight with Odin when Odin mocked his world (specifically the part about the world being carried on the back of a turtle). Later he helped Odin and Baron Samedi in killing one of their captives. He was the one who found Sam and Dean attempting to free the captured humans and grabbed Sam. He was killed by Dean using a wooden stake of unknown wood. It is likely that Zao was the one who 'prepared' the humans for eating, as he was a Kitchen God.

Trivia

 * As a minor god of fire, it's possible he possessed some power over fire which he never got a chance to exhibit on the show.
 * Unlike the other gods, Zao Shen did not speak English.
 * It should be noted that he is frequently questioning Odin's age in comparison to him; it is likely that Zao Shen is older seeing as Chinese mythology dates before Norse.
