No.

All of them more than occasionally do good things (figure 25% good things, 25% evil things, 25% meaningless things, and 25% stupid things, about half of which hurt him).
But the nature of a true mythic trickster is moral ambivalence, ambiguity and/or ignorance.

Note that there are entities who do tricky things (Orlanth stealing the shoes of darkness, etc>) but they are not in any way Tricksters.

OH, BTW, in any local setting people very well may all say and believe, "Oh, that Pelandan Hare god--he's a good one." But it it ain't really so.
