Alpha
All Alphas: Shapeshifter, Vampire, Werewolf, Skinwalker, Djinn, Khan Worm, Jefferson Starship. All, but the Vampire Alpha are dead.
Alphas are the progenitors (or sources) of a certain line of supernatural beings, aka "the original monster(s)." Eve, the Mother of All, is the creator of each line of monster. To create a certain line, she creates a type of infection that changes a human being into that type of monster. She also therefore changes the human's soul causing it to go to Purgatory upon death, rather than Heaven or Hell.
Amazons
After their ranks were devastated in a long war, the Amazon warrior tribe made a deal with the goddess Harmonia. She gave them supernatural strength and the ability to reproduce rapidly. The Amazon women gave birth to a child 36 hours after conceiving it, and the children matured rapidly, reaching adolescence within 3 days. Each girl then had to ritually kill the man who had fathered her, removing his hands and feet and carving an Amazonian symbol on his chest. Every two years, women of childbearing age would repeat the cycle to increase the ranks. The children were trained by Amazonian elders as fighters, to be able to both endure and dispense pain. One of their rituals involved consuming the flesh of their dead father. They were also branded with the sign of the Amazons on the insides of their wrists.

Buruburu
Buruburu are ghosts born of a person's fear after dying in a terrifying manner. They can then infect others with their fear, and this infection is known as the ghost sickness. The people they infect are usually people who have made a habit of terrorizing others. Because it is a type of ghost, it has all the same abilities and weaknesses as a ghost, but it differs in one notable way: it can be "scared to rest."

Djinn are humanoid creatures with tattooed skin that prefer to live in large ruins with a lot of places to hide. They feed on human blood and can poison their victims with a touch. Their poison causes reality-altering hallucinations and can be used either to kill their victims quickly, or to leave victims in a coma-like state while the djinn feeds on their blood over a long period of time. Djinn are best classified as genies and are able to read a person's mind to learn their deepest desires; however, the djinn do not truly grant wishes like the genies of lore. Instead, they send their victims into a fantasy universe where they believe their wish has been granted while the djinn can drink their blood slowly over the course of days. Time passes slowly enough in the fantasy universe that the djinn's victims will feel as if they're living an entire lifetime before their physical bodies die.

This allows her to send them messages and compel them to do her bidding, even against their will. She in turn sees through the eyes of all monsters, hears what they hear, and knows what they know. When Crowley inserts an electric probe into her head after her death, a nearby restrained vampire reacts in agony, demonstrating that monsters are still psychically connected to her despite her demise. Eve can shapeshift instantaneously, similar to the Alpha Shapeshifter. Eve can move fast enough to achieve results similar to teleportation.
Weaknesses: Phoenix ashes is the only thing that can kill her.

Famine has been weakened by advances in agriculture, and is wheelchair bound, so Lucifer has sent demons to serve his needs and strengthen him. Famine is himself insatiable, as he embodies hunger. Once Famine's strength is replenished, he will then be able to march across the lands with authority.

It then feeds on its victims' hearts. It has a high-pitched, warbling scream. To kill a lamia, it needs to be stabbed with a silver knife that has been blessed by a priest. It can also be killed by covering it in a combination of rosemary and saltand then setting it on fire. They are usually only seen in Greece, but is killed in Kenosha, Wisconsin. It is possible that the silver, blessed knife doesn't work when they attempt it because the creature, like werewolves, have altered after the Apocalypse is averted.

Weaknesses: Silver - Stabbing a lamia with a silver knife blessed by a priest can kill it.Rosemary, salt, and fire - Covering a lamia in rosemary and salt and then setting it on fire can kill it.
Leviathans
Leviathans, also called the Old Ones, were primordial creatures from the sea, that through evolution, became able to possess other creatures to survive on land. Leviathans pre-date the creation of humans and angels, as well as the soul itself. They would also pre-date any beings with souls, such as Alphas. They are therefore among the first creations of God. Death describes them as immensely powerful, hungry, clever and poisonous. Before God went on to create more creatures, however, He felt that the Leviathans threatened to consume and destroy everything "in God's Petri dish." For this reason, Death states that God created Purgatory and sealed the Leviathans inside to contain them and their hunger.
Powers and Abilities: Possession - Leviathans can possess any human they come into contact with in their fluid form. This person becomes their physical embodiment of sorts. These shells bleed black ectoplasmic looking blood when injured and can reshape their jaws to display long sharp teeth and a two-pronged tongue. Shapeshifting - Once a vessel is taken they can reshape it into any human form they touch. They require only a fragment of DNA to transform into a person; even lost hair will do. The creature possessing a little girl takes the form of a doctor by touching his arm. They can also absorb the memories of anyone whose form they take, much like a shapeshifter, but without requiring the person to remain alive. It is revealed that certain humans like Charlie Bradbury and Bruce Springsteen possess a certain "spark" that means they cannot be emulated as effectively. Super strength - They are shown to possess greatly enhanced strength; at their first meeting, they are able to hurl Dean and Bobby across a room with little effort. Healing/Endurance - Leviathans are extremely resilient, surviving multiple shotgun blasts with silver shot, including one to the head at point blank range. One also survived and reassembled itself after being crushed by a falling car. They can even re-attach their heads if decapitated. Can kill angels - Episode 7.21 Reading Is Fundamental shows that Leviathans can overpower angels easily. They are immune to an angel's power and can kill them by forcing their fists into the angel's stomach, causing the angel to then ooze black goo and die. Flight - In Purgatory Leviathans are able to fly through the air in the form of meteors of black ooze that crash into the ground and take on a humanoid form.
Weaknesses: Blood of the Fallen - The Leviathan tablet states that a Leviathan can be killed by a bone of a righteous mortal soaked in the blood of the fallen. There are three fallen whose blood is required; the first of these is a fallen angel (Castiel's blood qualifies). The other two fallen are the ruler of fallen humanity (meaning Crowley, the King of Hell) and a father of fallen beasts (an Alpha). Once this weapon is assembled, the Leviathan only needs to be given a fatal blow to be killed, but it can result in those nearby being pulled to Purgatory with the Leviathan soul. Borax - Leviathans are highly susceptible to materials that contain the chemical compound borax (sodium borate) such as household cleaning products. Contact with their skin results in an instant burning effect that can reduce them to charcoal-like husks if they are exposed to too much. It is suggested that they will eventually heal from the effects, however. Their leader, Dick Roman, may be less susceptible to the chemical. Beheading - Removing a Leviathan's head disables them temporarily. But unless the head is kept far away from the body it will re-attach itself. The combination of burning them with borax and then beheading them and separating the head and the body appears to be the only way to put them down indefinitely, assuming the head has no way of finding its way back to the body. Witchcraft - Leviathans show susceptibility to witchcraft. It can incapacitate them temporarily. Other Leviathans - Leviathans can be killed by another Leviathan eating them. A Leviathan can even eat itself, a process referred to as "bibbing." Rigid hierarchy - The Leviathans rely heavily on having one all-powerful leader to give them instructions and conduct their master plan. If he dies, they fall apart completely and revert to a state of disorganization.

Rugaru
The rugaru is the result of a genetic mutation that, when expressed, causes the affected human to experience a murderous, cannibalistic hunger. Outwardly the rugaru can appear human for years, never knowing its true nature, but eventually it becomes consumed with a terrible hunger. During this time, it feeds on any meat it can get its hands on, until it finally gives in to the craving for human flesh. The rugaru will also demonstrate superhuman strength, and its bones will move under its skin. One bite of human flesh is all that's necessary for the rugaru to transform outwardly into a monster, at which point it can never appear or be human again. The only way to kill it is by setting it on fire, otherwise it will continue killing people to sate its hunger.
Powers and Abilities: Enhanced physical attributes - Strength and speed.
Weaknesses: Fire
Shapeshifters
Shapeshifters can change their form so as to appear as any person living, dead, or fictional.

Sirens
A siren can change its shape to appear human. It may seem to be either male or female, depending on how it chooses to approach a victim. It can manipulate feelings of love, whether sexual or platonic, and causes its victims to kill someone they love. The siren's call is transmitted through saliva. It first charms its way through the victim's defenses by reading their mind and pretending to be the "perfect person" for the victim. It then infects them by fluid transfer. The infection leaves traces of oxytocin in the victim's blood - this is a love hormone that provokes feelings of euphoria. A siren's true face can be seen in a mirror. The only way to kill a siren is to stab it with a bronze dagger dipped into the blood of someone it has infected. The death of a siren releases its victims from its spell.
Powers and Abilities: Can take on human form. Can read minds. Can make humans fall under their spell by infecting them with its saliva.
Weaknesses: It's true face can be seen in a mirror.A bronze dagger dipped in the blood of someone under its spell.
Skinewalker
Skinwalkers are humans that can make a complete transformation into a canine. The particular breed of canine seems to vary depending on the person. They are similar to werewolves in that they can be killed with silver, they infect others with a bite, and they like to eat the hearts of their victims; however, their mutations are complete and are not limited by the phases of the moon. Like vampires and more notably, canines, they seem to have a pack mentality. When they are killed in canine form, they revert back to their human form. The Alpha Skinwalker was the very first skinwalker and, although not seen, he directs the actions of numerous packs of skinwalkers. Their main objective seems to be infiltrating families disguised as pets and then biting them at a signal in order to create more skinwalkers.
Powers and Abilities: Can transform into their canine alter ego at any time. Have a superior sense of smell, even in human form. Can infect others with a bite so that they become skinwalkers themselves.
Weaknesses: Silver - Piercing a skinwalker through the heart or head with silver will kill it.
Vampires
A vampire is created when a person ingests vampire blood, but the transformation is not complete until they feed on human blood. Once turned, they suffer from bloodlust and must feed on blood, human or animal, to survive. Unlike folkloric vampires, they do not require an invitation to enter a home and are not killed by sunlight. They also prefer to live in packs in locations called nests, and will mate for life. After death, vampire souls go to Purgatory. The Alpha Vampire was the very first vampire and has a psychic connection with other vampires. By the year 2006, vampires had been hunted so intensively and become so rare that John Winchester had thought they were extinct. But in the year 2010, the Alpha Vampire uses his psychic connection to encourage vampires to focus on increasing their numbers. Dean kills all the vampires he finds in one nest, but it is unknown how many other nests may have been created or increased their numbers. A vampire must feed on blood to survive - preferably human blood although they can subsist on animal blood. Some vampires, such as those led by Sheriff Len Cuse, also devour organs and flesh, as part of a new age philosphy related to not wasting any part of the kill. A cure for vampirism exists, but only if the vampire has not yet drunk human blood. They need to drink a mixture that includes the blood of the vampire that turned them.
Powers and Abilities: Have extremely enhanced senses that include being able to smell humans and vampires over long distances, and the ability to see in pitch darkness. Can exhibit an eyeshine like effect. Have sharp, pointed, retractable teeth that emerge from their gums and extend beyond their human teeth. Are immortal and unchanging. Can infect others by feeding them their blood so that they turn into vampires themselves. If they have enough human blood, they can heal quickly from any wound besides amputation.
Weaknesses: Sunlight - It's not deadly, but can cause a nasty sunburn. Vampires prefer to sleep during the day. Dead man's blood - Large quantities can paralyze a vampire and cause wounds that are slow to heal. Decapitation - Cutting off the head of a vampire will kill it. Angelic powers - Angels can burn vampires from the inside out with a touch, killing them. The Colt - A special bullet fired from the Colt can kill a vampire. Burning saffron, skunk's cabbage and trillium blocks a vampires scent. John Winchester gives these to Dean to put on the fire. He also tells Dean to dust their clothes with the ashes to stand a chance of not being detected. Vamptonite - The blood of humans which has been poisoned by the Leviathan food additive is fatal to any vampire who ingests it. Called vamptonite by Dean, this is also effective if the blood is injected directly from a syringe.
Vetala
Vetalas are creatures that sedate their victims with venom and then feed on their blood over a number of days. The victim usually dies after three or four feedings. Vetalas prefer to hunt in pairs, although John Winchester hunted a single vetala and documented it in his journal. Dean hunted a pair of them on his own, while Sam was at Stanford.

His ring along with Famine, Pestilence and Death's form together as a key to Lucifer's Cage, his ring, while connected with the other three rings, is merged in the direct center of the Cage's key. When War arrived on Earth; he used his ring's power to make himself look like a man named Roger. In other words, War made Ellen, Jo, Dean and Sam perceive him as a human by altering their perception. War is the first Horseman to appear in the series. He turns an entire town against themselves by making them think there are demons when there are none. War claims that Famine, Pestilence and Death are his siblings. He is also known as Wormwood.

Wendigo
A creature that was once human but was transformed into an immortal evil spirit when it took up the practice of cannibalism. Wendigos are cursed to wander the land, eternally seeking to fulfill their voracious appetite for human flesh. Wendigos are believed to live in the northern woods of Minnesota and in the north central regions of Canada . Kenora, Ontario, Canada, has been given the title of Wendigo Capital of the World by many. Sightings of the creature in this area have continued well into the new millennium. Wendigos are generally rumored to be gigantic spirits, over fifteen feet tall, lanky and with glowing eyes, long yellowed fangs, terrible claws and overly long tongues. Sometimes they are said to have a sallow, yellowish skin; other times they are described as being matted with hair. The Wendigo's full powers have never been recorded.

Werewolves
Werewolves are humans that transform into wolf-like creatures under the influence of a full moon. They can either be born as werewolves to werewolf parents, or become a werewolf as a result of being bitten (known as a "bitten"). Pureblood werewolves also prefer to use the term lycanthrope. John's Journal records that werewolves within four generations of a pureblood werewolf are "less feral and can transform before, during and after the lunar cycle." John noted that pureblood werewolves can control themselves and can survive on animal hearts. When they are in wolf-form, they appear human except for their yellow eyes, fangs, and claws, and they use their superior abilities and enhanced senses to hunt humans and eat their hearts. They may not remember transforming or any of the details of what they've done as a werewolf once they return to human form, but it seems that whatever subconscious desires or fears they feel as human translate into action when they are werewolves. The only confirmed way to kill a werewolf is by piercing its heart with silver. An entry in John Winchester's journal posited that a werewolf could be cured of lycanthropy by killing the werewolf who infected him or her, but this is disproved by Sam and Dean, and the fallacy of the theory is in fact well known by other hunters, such as Bobby. When they are killed in werewolf form, they revert back to their human form. After the Apocalypse is averted, it seems that werewolves no longer transform only during the full moon, as Samuel mentions that werewolves have been appearing during half-moons. Crowley reveals that there is an Alpha Werewolf, but as of the year 2010 he has not been located. Werewolves may live solitary lives or live in a pack, and can survive eating animal organs, however it is extremely difficult, especially if they have fed on human hearts before. At least one pack was shown to be involved in the Maw of Fenris, a cult which believed in the superiority of werewolves and extinction of humans. Their beliefs are based on the Norse legends that Fenris (the wolf son of Loki) would kill Odin during the end times known as Ragnarök. This pack believed in this for generations until Reverend Jim Myers took over and turned the pack from violence. However, the reverend's wife and three other members of the pack still believed in this and strove to achieve it before being killed by Dean.

Zombie
Zombies in Supernatural come in a variety of forms. They may be raised from the dead the use of spells and necromancy, by the demonic power of Samhain, and even raised by Death himself. Another group of beings that behave in a zombie-like manner are humans infected by the demonically engineered Croatoan virus, and those affected by the leviathan food-additive. When first raised, their memories and personalities may be intact, and they can behave like normal, rational beings for several days before becoming violent and cannibalistic. Methods of dispatch generally involve beheading, staking, or fire. Depending on the zombie, Sam and Dean appear to have varying success with each method.
