Leprechaun

The Leprechaun is a mischievous creature, although it is not malicious. They have a reputation as pranksters, but have never inflicted lasting damage on a Human. Native only to Ireland, they are capable of speech but have never requested the Ministry of Magic to reclassify them as Beings. Green in colour, the Leprechaun reaches a height of around six inches, and are known to fashion crude clothing for themselves out of leaves.

Leprechauns live in forests and wooded areas, but they like attracting Muggle attention to themselves. This tendancy has led to them be heavily integrated into Muggle children's stories and legends. Leprechauns have the ability to create a gold-like substance that disappears, much to their amusement, after a few hours.
