The Leprechaun

A leprechaun is a type of fairy in Irish folklore. They  wear a coat and hat and they are solitary creatures who spend their time making and mending shoes and have a hidden pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. If captured by a human, they often grant three wishes in exchange for their freedom. Like other Irish fairies, leprechauns may be derived from the Tuatha Dé Danann.Leprechaun-like creatures rarely appear in Irish mythology and only became prominent in later folklore.
