Got one for you; From the 3.0 Sword and Sorcery Studio's Creature Collection: the Dweller at the Crossroads. an NPC / Critter / Manifestation of of a trickster. As-written, the Dweller is a CR 6 who grants Wishes, (Yes, this book WAS written before the monster manual) but his fluff paints a much more sinister (and far better) picture. Imagine if this manifestation was more of an oracle than a genie? It could show people the proper pathway to take to fulfill their quest, instead of just giving them the object of their desire...
There's a second one: Tanil's Fox. Again, poorly designed, but appropriately flexible: Tanil's fox is a tiny animal (1d8 hp) with superhuman armor class (31 AC) divine saving throws (+12 reflex!) and enough stealth and guile to avoid being caught, the 200 foot per-round movement rate dosn't hurt either. Try adding the pelt of an animal that could only be killed if you were DESTINED to kill it to your weapon!

Efreet or other Djinn.
The stories of them using there Wishes to twist back upon their Wishees is pretty good example of Twisting Fate.
See the Wishmaster.

They also show up in Monte Cook's Year's Best D20.
There's also a template in FFG's Necromantic Lore called Bonecast that can be applied to corporeal undead or constructs. Basically, the creature's bones/parts are inscribed with runes. A creature with the template inflicts a luck penalty, but in addition, when the creature is slain and it falls on a surface, the arrangement of bones determines the fate of those in the area.

Funny story... Had to make a new character off the top of my head at the last session because the DM didn't want me to run the one I'd already made (a psion uncarnate, he didn't like the whole incorporeal thing), hence why I got a character all tricked out with luck feats.
Anyways, the first thing this character did when he met the party was accept a draw from the deck of many things. And of course, he drew the skull (which of course summons a dread wraith/"minor death"). A few rounds later, he'd been annihalated from the con damage.
The DM let me say he had a twin brother, so it actually worked out well. I went from a pretty one-dimensional concept character to one who had an in-game established background and motivation (destroying undead in his brother's memory).
