THE LEPRECHAUN
The Leprechaun is an Irish fairy. He looks like a small, old
man (about 2 feet tall), often dressed like a shoemaker, with
a cocked hat and a leather apron. According to legend,
leprechauns are aloof and unfriendly, live alone, and pass
the time making shoes. They also possess a hidden pot of
gold. Treasure hunters can often track down a leprechaun
by the sound of his shoemaker's hammer. If caught, he can be
forced (with the threat of bodily violence) 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 (and he often tricks them into looking away), he
vanishes and all hopes of finding the treasure are lost.
