History
A leprechaun is a type of fairy in Irish folklore, usually taking
the form of an old man, who wears a red or green coat, and 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.
