Changeling?
Shouldn't Changelings be mentioned here, somewhere?General MGD 109 16:38, January 2, 2012 (UTC)
Why here?

Why, Chagelings are children of Eve, while Fairies are children of Oberon, two completely different species, even though they're sometimes associated with one another. -- ImperiexSeed, 7:51 PM, April 1st 2012
Leprechaun Gilda?
Any reason besides not being specifically told by canon that Gilda isn't called a Leprechaun? Wayne and Gilda seem pretty similar in power-level and they both have the same appearance (both look like a normal human). (After all, 'Good' Fairy doesn't refer to a species it refers to alignment). 122.106.157.19 03:50, February 5, 2013 (UTC)
I, too, was disappointed when she wasn't categorized (which is why I added the clarification to her class on the article). However, as it was not explicitly mentioned she was a Leprechaun, we could not assume she is. Wayne took firstborns, pretty much a reference to Rumpelstiltskin, whereas Gilda had no reference whatsoever to any leprechaun lore. I'd say she is an entirely separate class, somewhat about the typical 'fair folk' that are similar to fantasy elves like that of Tolkien's, but until mentioned in Canon, that remains to be just my opinion.

No, she's not a Leprechaun, or at least wasn't mentioned as such in Canon. No where in the episode was she clarified as a Leprechaun, so currently, we cannot call her one, till otherwise revealed. -- ImperiexSeed, 10:18 AM, February 5th 2013
Power scale
How powerful would you guys say fairies are next to the likes of demons, angels and dieties? they seem to be able to warp reality and have all sorts of great powers to imply them being some of the most powerful beings indroduced, makes me wonder if Oberon could take on Michael as fairies supposedly have thier own devil/lucifer equal, and normal fairies seem very powerful, almost to the point of higher angels.

Well we have to take a few things into account, one we can't judge how powerful a species is based on how strong the strongest members are, the Leprachaun was the leader of all the fairies in the area, so it stands to reason he's pretty strong, while Gilda was also clearly powerful, as she could use almost trickster level power, yet at the same time she was bound by one of the weakest magic users ever. Second, none of the other fairies ever demonstrated any that impressive powers, the tink wasn't that strong and the elves didn't seem that powerful, and the redcap was probably as strong or perhaphs a bit more, as your average black eyed demon. Plus I think the fairy devil was mearly a retort. Taking into account the difference in power between higher faires and other fairies, I would say on average there stronger than demons (on average) but weaker than deties (on average), so no Oberon probably couldn't take on Michael, you should see my new blog following this trait.

It depends on what fairies there are and how much their magic affects angels. Judging by the way the leprechaun laughed at angels it's quite possible a few fairies might have the power to rival Archangels but I doubt the vast majority can. I don't see why the leprechaun would make a deal he knew he couldn't carry out. I mean he wouldn't get anything out of it unless he pulled it off so why bother suggesting it otherwise. Also there's no clear indication that Oberon even exists as it's just Marian's presumption. To be fair, the power of the spell doesn't really compare with the power of the being. I mean Death was bound by a spell that can be done by Sam and Dean and they're hardly powerful magic practioners and he's one of the most powerful creatures in existence.
Leprechaun strength?
It's stated that the leprechaun has shown to be weaker than even lower tied angels but in what way is that the case? He effortlessly beat Sam to the point where spilling salt was Sam's only chance. Not to mention Sam didn't have a soul and therefore had a high pain threshold. Furthermore, on at least one occasion Sam has been able to deliver a punch to an angels face while fighting them (though obviously it didn't hurt the angels) but he didn't even deliver one hit to the leprechaun. So really leprechauns haven't shown to be weaker but equal to at the very least.
