Trickster Defined
The following is in context to Mythology, because it's common for a single word to have multiple meanings you will find additional research links near the bottom of the page.
"A common character in myths and folktales. Sometimes the trickster functions as an adversary of the hero and his quest, though his challenges are usually in the nature of pranks rather than the violent and truly threatening challenges posed by such characters as devils, monsters, witches, and giants. Indeed, the trickster may turn out, as in many of the tales in which Raven is a character, to be a helper, the tricks really an oblique form of guidance or protection."
