Best Answer

The Irish often called them the Little People. They told tales about them stealing babies and brides but were also thought as kind quiet folk who usually shied away from humans. Other Irish folk depict them as "tricksy" or cunning. One legend said if you see a leprechaun, you should keep looking at it and ask for its gold. Sometimes it will trick you showing you for example a tree where it is hidden so you would for example mark it with a hole only to find the next day all the trees in the areas are marked with holes. If he gives you gold often by dawn it turns into pebbles or nuts which is called "Fool's Gold". Yes, the Irish call them the Little People.
