A
leprechaun (Irish:
leipreachán) is a type of fairy in Irish folklore,
usually taking the form of an old man, clad in a red or green coat, who
enjoys partaking in mischief. Like other fairy creatures, leprechauns
have been linked to the Tuatha Dé Danann of Irish mythology. The leprechauns spend all their time busily making shoes, and store away all their coins in a hidden pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
If ever captured by a human, the leprechaun has the magical power to
grant three wishes in exchange for their release. Popular depiction
shows the leprechaun as being no taller than a small child, with a beard and hat, although they may originally have been perceived
as the tallest of the mound-dwellers (the Tuatha Dé Danann).
The Magical Legend Of The Leprechaun
You may end up being the luckiest person alive if you ever manage to
catch a Leprechaun but there again it could bring more than enough
trouble for what its worth.
A Leprechaun is a smart, devious little thing and who’ll do anything
to escape capture even if it means turning you into a frog. They are
the exception in the Faerie realm as they are the only Faerie that has a
trade other than cattle trading. They are shoe-makers.
