Name: Clurichaun Title: Leprechaunus Faeria Homelands: Ireland, Highly-vegetated areas. Type of Offense: None Type of creature: Night "Form" of Leprechaun
Description: The Clurichaun is an Irish fairy which resembles the leprechaun. Some even say that the clurichaun is a night "form" of the leprechaun, who goes out to drink after finishing his daily chores. Some folklorists regard them as regional variations on the same creature. Clurichauns are said to be always drunk. However, unlike their cousins, they are surly. Clurichauns enjoy riding sheep and dogs at night. If you treat them well they will protect your wine cellar. If mistreated, they will wreak havoc on your home and spoil your wine stock. In some tales, they act as 'buttery spirits, plaguing drunkards or dishonest servants who steal wine; if the victim attempts to move away from their tormenter, the clurichaun will hop into a cask to accompany them.
