In Dungeons & Dragons, a leprechaun is a mischievous fey creature typically portrayed as a small, humanoid being with a fondness for wealth and trickery. They are part of the broader fey creature category, often associated with Irish mythology. Leprechauns are known for their cunning nature and playful demeanor, using their magic and cleverness to elude capture and deceive others. In the game, they are usually depicted as having a high level of intelligence and dexterity, which aids in their ability to get out of tight situations.

Leprechauns are typically small, standing around 2 to 3 feet tall, and are often depicted wearing green coats, buckled shoes, and hats. They are known for guarding pots of gold, though they often play games or set elaborate traps to protect their treasure. Despite their affinity for wealth, leprechauns usually have a sense of humor and enjoy pranks, making them less malevolent than other tricksters in mythology.

In terms of abilities, leprechauns in D&D possess innate magic that allows them to become invisible, shape-shift, and teleport short distances. They are also skilled in deception and manipulation, often using their charm and wit to escape danger. However, leprechauns are not just tricksters—they can be fiercely protective of their possessions and will fight back if their treasure is threatened. Their alignment tends to lean toward chaotic good, reflecting their love of freedom and playfulness, though they can also show a streak of mischief that may be perceived as neutral or even evil by those they trick.

While they are not typically a major threat to adventurers, leprechauns can serve as interesting NPCs, offering quests, riddles, or assistance in exchange for a fair bargain.
