Irish Folklore
Leprechauns
The leprechaun is a solitary creature, focusing all of his attention on making shoes. He can usually be found holding both a shoe and a cobbling hammer. Leprechauns are the size of a bulky young boy, with wrinkled faces, gleaming eyes, and surprisingly graceful movements. They are also known for their love of beer, foul language, and smoking pipes called dudeens. Besides making shoes, leprechauns guard fairy treasure from mortals, although their hidden stashes are revealed by rainbows. If a mortal can catch a reclusive leprechaun and demand its treasure, the leprechaun has no choice but to comply, but this happens incredibly rarely. There is no such thing as a female leprechaun (that we know of!!!)
