 Leprechaun 

Species: Demihuman

Habitat: Human Settlements, Forests, Mountains

Disposition: Friendly, Mischievous, Vindictive

Diet: Omnivorous

A small race of demihumans, roughly the size of Goblins, Leprechauns are often dressed in a green coat with a red undershirt, a green hat, and a pair of buckled black shoes. Possessing exceptional skill in shoemaking, including magically-enchanted shoes, Leprechauns are valued as shoemakers for humans and even mamono that have human-shaped feet. In addition to their shoemaking skills, Leprechauns are skilled in playing musical instruments as well including harps, fiddles and tin whistles. While generally friendly by nature, they can be rather mischievous at times and can even have a vindictive streak when provoked. For example, it is not unusual for a Leprechaun to play a harmless prank on a friend by having him dance for a short while to the tune of her tin whistle. As for being vindictive against someone who had provoked her, the Leprechaun may make him wear a pair of “cursed shoes” that will cause him run around a town or a village, while naked and screaming at the top of his lungs as he is bad boy that loves being whipped by a Dark Elf.

One important fact concerning the Leprechauns is that each Leprechaun owns a pot of gold which she will jealously guard from thieves. Located in a place that can only be reached by finding the end of a magic rainbow, often created by the Leprechaun herself as a bridge between her and her gold, the pot of gold is supposedly so valuable that anyone who finds it will be rich enough to be set for life while other rumours claim that the coins in a Leprechaun’s pot of gold are capable of granting a limited number of wishes. Needless to say, this attracts many thieves, including mamono such as Dragons, Goblins and Gyobu Danuki, thus making a Leprechaun downright, if understandably, paranoid when it comes to protecting her pot of gold. In fact, few offenses can make a Leprechaun more infuriated than stealing her gold.

Like all mamono of the current age, a Leprechaun will desire a human husband. As a means of obtaining a potential human husband, a Leprechaun will first seduce him by playing her favoured musical instrument. Once lulled by her magic-enchanted music, the human man will be quickly ravished by her. If she is willing to accept the man as a husband, she will offer him her most finely-crafted pair of shoes as a gift. If he graciously accepts her gift, she will officially claim him as a husband who will receive the very first gold coin that she had kept in her pot of gold, arguably her most valuable treasure which is directly tied to her very life.
