Tricksters are a sort of sub-class of Oberon's Children.

Characteristics

Tricksters have a bent for cunning schemes and clever stratagems, achieving their ends through considerable wiliness. The exact nature of the trickery varies, however, depending upon the precise nature of the trickster; some tricksters are purely out for themselves, such as Raven and Anansi, while others show some concern for humans and assist them, or use their tricks to teach important lessons, such as Coyote - and perhaps Puck.

Known tricksters among the Third Race include Anansi, Coyote, Puck, and Raven. However, it is doubtful that the trickster-role is limited to Oberon's Children, since both Xanatos and Thailog display prominently the traits of tricksters.
