Other: Like Aziraphale, Crowley has several powers that he can use. He can shapeshift, though he doesn't like to, as he worries that he'll forget how to turn back to his favorite shape - human. (However, being a demon, he cannot change his eyes. They remain yellow with black slitted pupils, hence his tendency toward wearing sunglass "Even when he dunt need to".) He can stand in the rain without getting wet. He can (and does, at one point) breathe life back into things that have died - possibly an ability left over from the time he was angel. He can't die in the normal sense, though if his human body gets killed, he has to get a new one from Hell, so he tries to not die as much as possible. He can see in the dark, and can more or less wish things into being. Basically, he can more or less shape the world around him to his will, although small things are easier than large things. For example, it's relatively simple to turn bad wine into good wine, or to get a casette player in a jeep than it is to convince a flaming Bentley that it's a whole and perfectly working vehicle. (The Bentley also runs on sheer willpower - when Crowley wants it to, it drives itself, and he bought petrol for it once in the 1960s because he wanted the James Bond bullethole stickers that came with the purchase. Don't ask why he didn't just wish some up for himself. It's a mystery.)

It's implied that the snakeskin "boots" he wears are not in fact boots at all but are in fact boot-shaped snakeskin feet. He doesn't blink much, and he has a tendency to hiss when he forgets himself. He's not very fond of the cold. Like Aziraphale, he doesn't need to eat, breathe, or sleep - although he rather enjoys eating and sleeping. He has wings, although they're usually tucked away, and because he comes from angel stock, they are no different from angel wings.
