* Toltiir, from the fan writings of Greg "Metroanime" Sharpe and the community of writers that orbited him in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Toltiir, who usually takes the form of a talking black cat, is a former [[Eldritch Abomination|embodiment of Chaos]] now taking it easy as the god of Mischief; he originated in a ''[[DungeonsThe andFantasy DragonsTrip]]'' campaign Sharpe ran in the 1990s. After making a few appearances in stories referencing or set explicitly in the campaign world, he began appearing in Sharpe's anime fan fiction, eventually becoming the catalyst for [https://archive.is/Vws9C|''[[The Bet (fan work)|The Bet]]'']{{Dead link}} and related works. [[Word of Dante|Appearances in stories by other authors]] suggest that he is also Coyote, Anansi and a few other trickster gods.

* Merry and Pippin from ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' are also [[Those Two Guys]].
* [[Discworld|Granny Weatherwax]]. You don't have to have a sense of humour to be a Trickster!
