The leprechaun is said to be a solitary creature, whose principal occupation is making and mending shoes, and who enjoys practical jokes. He usually takes the form of an old man, clad in a red or green coat, who enjoys partaking in mischief. Popular depiction shows leprechauns as being no taller than a small child.
