| | TRICKSTER FACTS AND INFORMATION |
| | In the study of mythology, folklore and religion, a trickster is a god, goddess, spirit, human hero or anthropomorphic animal who breaks the rules of the gods or nature, sometimes maliciously (for example, Loki) but usually with ultimately positive effects. | | | This is primarily because of other stories involving these spirits: Prometheus was a Titan, whereas coyote and raven are usually seen as jokesters and pranksters. | | | In many Native American and First Nations mythologies, the coyote (Southwestern_United_States) or raven (Pacific_Northwest and coastal British_Columbia) stole fire from the gods (stars or sun) and are more tricksters than culture heroes. |
