The Leprechaun is a small humanoid Fairy found in Ireland. The Leprechaun is described as a small humanoid Fairy that in modern day is depicted usually wearing green with a top hat and smoking a pipe and most of the time they have an orange beard. The very first mention of a Leprechaun is found in the book  Echtra Fergus Mac Léti  which translates to  Adventure of Fergus son of Léti where the King of Ulster Fergus Mac Léti wakes up on a beach where he sees three Leprechauns trying to drag  him into the ocean; he then captures them and they offer him three wishes for their release. Leprechauns are also said to have a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and if you get the gold they will offer you three wishes for its return however most people take the gold due to the fact that Leprechauns are know tricksters and like to cause mischief so your wishes may not end up as you expect them.
