{{Lore}}
Leprechauns are short, humanoid creatures resembling miniature humans. They typically have fair to very fair complexion, their hair color ranges from dark brown to red, and their eye color is almost always green (with very rare blue-eyed cases). On average, they are 3 feet tall and weigh 30 to 40 pounds. Most individuals grow facial hair, including, interestingly enough, females. Despite similar appearances to humans, they are not genetically compatible with them, or any other species except their own.
Leprechauns are sapient creatures, capable of understanding and speaking the [[languages]] of the Mazes fluently. Most speak Common, but some individuals, particularly those living near Youkai communities, have gained fluency in Youkai as well. They are jolly and mischievous creatures, prone to breaking into songs and speaking in rhymes, and are fond of partying, smoking, drinking, and perhaps most famously, stealing [[coins]] and other [[valuables]] from other sapient beings. They do not consider stealing to be morally wrong, rather they treat it as a game, simply believing that anything that is within their reach is fair game, and that failure to defend your property simply means you were meant to lose it. It's not clear what they use the accumulated loot for; although some do use it to purchase the occasional necessities, it seems they derive most of their enjoyment purely from the acts of stealing and hoarding.
