If u mean leprecaun, that is a i rish elf, a size of the dwarf, who hides gold at the end of a rainbow...this is a myth!
But, if u mean LEPrecon, these are the "elf police" mentioned in the Artemis Fowl series.

There is a wonderful Book titled "A Treasury of Irish Myth, Legend, and Folk Lore," that was written by W. B. Yeats (The Poet) and Lady Gregory. Here is a sample.
LEPRACAUN. CLURICAUN. FAR DARRIG.
"THE name Lepracaun," Mr. Douglas Hyde writes to me, "is from the Irish Leith brog-i.e., the One-shoemaker, since be is generally seen working at a single shoe. It is spelt in Irish Leith bhrogan, or leithfihrogan, and is in some places pronounced Luchryman, as O'Kearney writes it in that very rare book, the Feis Ti,-h Chonain."
The Lepracaun, Cluricaun, and Far Darrig. Are these one spirit in different moods and shapes ? Hardly two Irish writers are agreed. In many things these three fairies, if three, resemble each other. They are withered, old, and solitary, in every way unlike the sociable spirits of the first sections. They dress with all unfairy homeliness, and are, indeed, most sluttish, slouching, jeering, mischievous phantoms. They are the great practical jokers among the good people.
The Lepracaun makes shoes continually, and has grown very rich. + Many treasure-crocks, buried of old in war-time, has he now for his own. In the early part of this century, according to Croker, in a newspaper office in Tipperary, they used to show a little shoe forgotten by a Lepracaun.
The Cluricaun, (Clobhair-ceann, in O'Kearney) makes himself drunk in gentlemen's cellars. Some suppose he is merely the Lepracaun on a spree. He is almost unknown in Connaught and the north.
The Far Darrig (fear dearg), which means the Red Man, for he wears a red cap and coat, busies himself with practical joking, especially with gruesome joking. This he does, and nothing else.

Spelling: Leprechuan Pron: 'Leprekon'

A little Irish person. They are usually depicted as wee men with ginger beards, dressed in tight green trousers and a big hat (like those skinny jean currently vogue)
He's a cheeky chappy who appears, then disappears before you can chase him, then he's gone and you've lost your chance. If you can keep you eye on him, all the way to the end of the rainbow, he is obliged to give you his pot of gold. Obviously, this being his livelyhood it is in his best interests to preserve his wealth in order to look after his family so it is quite a challenge.

I am assuming you meant Leprechaun. An magical Irish imp that keeps his pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.
So elusive that if you can catch him the pot of gold is yours!! Enter my spelling of Leprechaun in a search engine and voila!!
