What a Leprechaun typically looks like.
In Irish mythology, a leprechaun (Irish: leipreachán) is a type of male fairy said to live in the island of Ireland. They are a class of fairy folk" in Irish mythology and folklore, as with all fairies, with the Tuatha Dé Danann
They usually form into the look of old men and who enjoy doing trouble. They are said to be very rich, having many treasure crocks buried during war-time.[1] Legend says, if someone looks at one of them, the leprechaun cannot escape, but the moment the person looks away, he disappears.
