Most demons in Supernatural appear in two ways, either the dark smokey form, or by possessing someone. A demon can leave a body at will and has no trouble possessing someone else almost instantly. As such they have no true corporeal body.
But Crowley, current king of hell, doesn't seem to have access to this smoke form, and he does possess a body.
In Weekend at Bobby's
we meet the son of Crowley (neé Fergus), Gavin. Gavin appears to recognize Crowley. We then find out that Sam and Dean have his bones hostage. Meaning the demon has/had a body.
Regardless, we never see him possess anyone, and even old yellow-eyes did that.
Is Crowley special in some way?
Answer
Well then, what timing.
As of Supernatural 8x02, which aired the night this question was posted,
Crowley both showed his eyes and went smokey onscreen (and appears to have stashed his standard body in a closet). He has red eyes, finally confirming what we've all suspected, that he is a Crossroads Demon.
However, the smoke itself was red-tinted. This does not feel familiar to me at all, although I can't seem to find any evidence of other Crossroads demons getting exorcized. They all seem to appear offscreen already possessing someone, then vanish once they make a deal or are killed (not exorcised)... So the red smoke could be normal, or it could still be something special about Crowley...
But, even if the red smoke does make him special, it's likely no more special than Azazel's yellow eyes, which are also so far unique.
But in summary, Crowley is a normal demon.
