A small fairy who prefers to go about looking like an elderly mortal male. Leprechauns are
well known for their fine leatherwork; the shoes they craft
are among the finest known. It is rumored among humans
that a leprechaun will divulge the location of his life savings
if captured by the commanding glare of a mortal gaze.
However, when bullied and threatened by thieves,
leprechauns have meted out stern punishment. "Try as they may,
Try as they might,
He who takes a leprechaun's gold
Won't live through the night!"
- Warwick Davis as the title character from "Leprechaun" (1993)
