STMKS - Clurichaun Mystery Cache

The clurichaun (/ˈkluːrɪkɔːn/) or clúrachán (from Irish: clobhair-ceann^[1]) is a mischievous fairy in Irish folklore known for his great love of drinking and a tendency to haunt breweries, pubs and wine cellars.^[2] He is related to the leprechaun and has sometimes been conflated with him as a shoemaker and a guardian of hidden treasure.^[3] This has led some folklorists to suppose that the clurichaun is merely a leprechaun on a drinking spree,^[1] while others regard them as regional variations of the same being.^[4] Like the leprechaun the clurichaun is a solitary fairy, encountered alone rather than in groups, as distinct from the trooping fairies.^[2]
