Irish folklore has two races of magical creatures - fairies and leprechauns. The leprechaun is the closest thing Irish folklore has to a pixie. Leprechaun: The leprechaun is a small færie, grotesque in appearance, dressed in green with a leather apron, silver buckled shoes, a red cap, and spectacles at tilting on the end of his nose. Known for being a shoemaker, a leprechaun will never make a pair of shoes, just one at a time. Although they are quick to shun humans, leprechauns, like brownies, like to play tricks on humans. If however, a leprechaun is caught, which is very difficult to accomplish, he is forced to reveal the location of his hidden treasure. While he is guiding someone to his treasure, and they take their eye off of him for even a second, the leprechaun will disappear.
