Table of Death
This table documents Sam and Dean's kills and associated violence. It also includes who kills the Monster of the Week (MoTW).Sam and Dean destroy most of the MoTW during the first three seasons, though occasionally a bystander is responsible. More MoTW are destroyed by entities other than Sam and Dean during Seasons Four and Five. And there is a noticeable shift away from typical MoTW encounters in these seasons. Demons are increasingly prevalent while ghosts, a staple of the early seasons, are encountered less frequently. Also, a larger number of MoTW escape, or Sam and Dean escape from them.
An accurate count of which MoTW is encountered each week is difficult, especially as some MoTW are seen in conjunction with others in the same episode. More detail on the MoTW can be found on their species/entity specific pages or in the related episode summaries.
