Irish magical creatures include fairies and leprechauns. Fairies like to eat human food like raisins but cannot eat cheese. They shed feathers twice a year and collect children's teeth. Leprechauns are solitary shoemakers that may grant wishes in exchange for freedom if caught. They are associated with pots of gold found at the end of rainbows.
