The saga of Fergus mac Léti is, apparently, the first time leprechauns make their appearance in folklore. It's also the first time leprechauns try to kill a guy, get stuck in porridge, and offer some magical menswear.



The creature this time is the Oyaleroweck, who's thriving in the absence of knights in Canada.
