Are there any other gods of mischief beside Ollidamara, Chaav and Loki?
Lucifer, in some fiction. Eris, goddess of discord, does a pretty good job at mischief, too. Also, a Google for ("god of mischief" -loki) without the parentheses yields a whole bunch of homebrew deities of mischief.

"I should be so Loki. Loki, Loki, Loki. I should be so Loki in love...." :D

Hermes is another while Raven is a kindred spirit to the non Acme using trickster.

Not quite gods, the tanuki like to play pranks in Japanese mythology and ditto for the tengu.
 

Krishna, in the Indian mythos, is very much a trickster deity in his early years (the Krishna myths are arguably a conflation of those about a trickster deity and a second one).
 

Trickster Animal Spirit gods from around the world:
Raven, Coyote (Wile E), Spider(Anansi, Spiderman), Rabbit(Bugs Bunny, Brer Rabbit, Zomo), and Fox (Renard, Kitsune), plus several others I can't recall off the top of my head.

Hermes, Apollo and Pan from Greek Myths.

Odin and Loki from Norse.

Robin Goodfellow/Puck and several other fey creatures began as dieties.

I'm thinking Set and Isis from Egyptian, but It's been a while and I might be wrong.
