Demon Smoke
Demons manifest as smoke in their incorporeal form on Earth; they are able to interact with their surroundings by possessing humans, alive or recently deceased, via demonic possession. Acheri demons are the only exception, as they are able to manifest from their smoke form into that of a little girl. When an exorcism is performed, this forces the demon to leave its meatsuit, and the smoke is usually seen pouring out of the person's mouth and sent to Hell. In nearly all cases the smoke is black, although Crowley's smoke was shown to be red. When multiple demons gather in their incorporeal form, their demon smoke cloud generates purple lightning.
Some demons such as Crowley and Abaddon possessed the ability to partially enter a person, by sending a piece of their "smoke" form into the person's body, to read their thoughts.
Asmodeus is the only demon shown to be able to "shift" and imitate the form of different people. This ability was attributed to his consumption of grace from the archangel Gabriel, who also had this ability.

Satisfied that she is telling the truth, Dean orders Sam to finish the exorcism, much to Meg's displeasure. Though Bobby warns them that doing so will kill the girl being possessed, Dean justifies it as putting her out of her misery. As Sam finishes the exorcism, Meg throws her head back and screams, the demon leaving through her mouth in a black cloud of smoke and spreading out within the devil's trap in the ceiling before disappearing.
