Ōkami

Ōkami are a type of supernatural creature that have been encountered by hunters. Little information has been revealed about them in the series—as they are monsters rarely seen outside of Japan.

An ōkami has been seen in the chapter 'Weekend At Bobby's', as a case involving both Rufus Turner and Bobby Singer.

Characteristics
Similar to many other supernatural creatures, ōkami look like normal humans. However, like werewolves, they grow canine-like teeth. In addition, they feed on human victims.

Known Abilities
Much like most of the supernatural creatures depicted in the series, ōkami have enhanced strength and agility, making them difficult opponents for typical humans.

Weaknesses
It is been shown that there is a method to effectively kill ōkami, which consists of stabbing them seven times using a bamboo dagger blessed by a Shintō priest.

However, Bobby Singer made use of a wood chipper, and shoved the ōkami into it to completely get rid of it. This also proved most effective.

Etymology
Ōkami (狼) is a Japanese word that means "wolf". However, in the same language, there is a word with the same pronunciation - Ōkami (大神, literally "great god"), which is also a reverential title of some Japanese Shintō deities and, historically, the Emperor of Japan.
