What is a Leprechaun?
A leprechaun is a mythical creature from Irish folklore. It is often depicted as a small, mischievous, and solitary fairy. Legend has it that leprechauns are skilled shoemakers and possess a hidden pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. According to folklore, if captured, a leprechaun has the power to grant its captor three wishes in exchange for freedom. They are commonly associated with St. Patrick's Day and Irish culture.
