Tricksters

Tricksters are a type of mischievous beings or demideities with the ability to warp reality and make real-looking objects and people out of thin air.

Description
Tricksters are rather rare but their powers are greater than most beings; they are able to warp reality, create people and objects out of thin air and create time loops. According to Bobby, they can take the form of anything but most of the time they appear as humans. They generally have a sweet tooth, and enjoy sugary treats. They commonly have a mischievous personality, and generally go after the high and mighty, and enjoy taking them down a peg, normally in ironic ways.

The Trickster
The only Trickster who encountered the Winchesters did so on four occasions and on the third time, it was revealed that the Trickster wasn't really a Trickster but the archangel Gabriel.

Castiel suspected that The Trickster wasn't a Trickster, as its powers were far above those to be considered one.

Powers and Abilities
Even though the only Trickster that appeared on the series was actually an archangel, Bobby gave examples of some of the powers of a real Trickster, as he said himself, "They’re immortal, and they can create things out of thin air, things as real as you and me. Make them vanish just as quick."
 * Reality Warping - Tricksters can warp reality to some degree.
 * Conjuration - Tricksters can create anything out of thin air, whether it be people or objects.
 * Immortality -  Tricksters can live forever and don't age.
 * Shapeshifting - Tricksters are able to change their form at will.

Weaknesses

 * Stakes - A stake of wood dipped in the blood of a Trickster's victim, then stick in the heart of this same Trickster, is one way to kill him.
