Leprechaun
Leprechaun
- Irish fairy. The name leprechaun is derived from the old
Irish word luchorpan which means "little body."
A leprechaun is a fairy taking the appearance of a miniature old man.
Leprechauns are solitary creatures and spend their time making shoes and
brogues. If you hear the sound of his hammer when he is at work you know you
have found him. If caught, he can be forced to reveal the whereabouts of his
treasure, but the captor must keep their eyes on him every second. If the
captor's eyes leave the leprechaun, just for a moment, he will vanish.
