Leprechaun The name Leprechaun comes from the Irish for shoe maker, Leath Bhrogan.
They are small elderly men who have been described as Irelands national fairy Leprechauns have become guardians of ancient treasure. They bury the treasure in
crocks or pots. This is the reason why they tend to avoid contact with humans whom they regard as foolish, greedy creatures If caught by a human a Leprechaun will promise the human great wealth in return
for his freedom. This is why Leprechans carry with them two leather pouches in one of them is a silver coin which will magically
return to it's pouch each time it is paid out to a human. In the other pouch is a gold coin which can be used by the Leprechaun
to bribe his way out of tricky situations. However once he gives the gold coin to a human it will turn into leaves or ashes Never take your eyes off a Leprechan as he can vanish in an instant!
Grogoch Grogochs are half human, half Fairy. They used to be from Kintyre
in Scotland but decided to settle in Ireland instead. They resemble elderly old men, but covered in course, dense reddish
hair or fur. They wear no clothes, but they do sport an assortment of twigs and dirt from their travels. Grogochs are not
known for their personal hygiene. There are no records of female Grogochs Grogochs make their homes in caves or hollows. In many parts of the northern
countyside there are large leaning stones which are known as Gorochs houses Gorochs are very sociable beings, but have the power of invisibility and
will only allow people they trust to see them. The will sometimes attach themselves to one person and help them with chores
such as planting and harvesting or household tasks in return for payment of a jug of cream
