## Leprechaun
The leprechauns are a dimunitive fey race known for their luck, shoemaking skills, and frugality. Legends tell of them stowing pots of gold at the end of rainbows, but such tales of riches untold are usually tall tales gotten  way out of hand.
### Leprechauns of the Multiverse
Leprechauns have been sighted on Krynn (home of the *Dragonlance* setting), the Known World (home of the *Mystara* setting), and Toril (home of the *Forgotten Realms* setting).
### Leprechaun Names
Leprechaun given and surnames often resemble or even coincide with anglicized Irish names from our world.
**Male Names:** Brian, Brendan, Conan, Conor, Declan, Finbar, Jarlath, Keenan, Mannix, Nevan,  Seamus, Ulick

##### Cultural Sensitivity Note
Some depictions of leprechauns in pop culture rely on negative stereotypes and prejudicial tropes regarding Irish people. Avoid these tropes and stereotypes when playing a leprechaun character. Note that nowhere in this race’s description are there references to alcoholism or pugnacity.
