Lugh

Lugh is the Celtic god of smithing and crafts. He is an industrious god who is popular within the Pantheon and the Celtic people. Lugh is also the ancestor of the famous mythological hero Cuchulainn. Strangely, later stories posit that Lugh somehow lost his godly powers and was transformed into a Leprechaun?
