Leprechauns

Leprechauns (Irish: leipreachán/luchorpán) are diminutive supernatural beings in Irish folklore, classed by some as a type of solitary fairy. They are usually depicted as little bearded men, wearing a coat and hat, who partake in mischief. In later times, they have been depicted as shoe-makers who have a hidden pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
Leprechaun-like creatures rarely appear in Irish mythology and only became prominent in later folklore.
Hanna-Barbera had leprechauns in several of their animated series.
