If I catch a leprechaun, how can I force him to lead me to his pot of gold? Can I threaten to kill him?

Question

I don't know if I really would kill him, but if I threatened him might he disclose where his pot of gold is hidden? Also, do they bite?

Answer 1

I think tickling is the best tactic for convincing leprechauns to give up the goods. And yes they bite, but only as a last resort. Mostly they kick.

Answer 2

"A hunter needs more than skill to catch these mischievous creatures. You’ll need the luck of the Irish. Once you gather your stellar crew, give each other Irish names. It’s the only way. If you’re already Irish, with a name like McLaury or O’Malley, then you’re ahead of the game. If you have an unfortunate last name like Jones, however, you’re going to become an O’Jones or McJones, whichever you prefer. This may seem like a simple and meaningless step, but you’d be a fool to overlook it. Remember, Jesus re-named his disciples, and St. Patrick changed his name when he became a priest. Also, wear green on the big day. This is not to prevent pinches (the common man is the least of your worries), but because you’ll need to blend into the undergrowth as you roll, duck, jump and pounce through Pepperdine’s pasteurs. When you catch the leprechaun, keep your eyes on him. Legend says if you take your eyes of him for even a second, he will dissappear. Happy hunting, and when you get your money, remember the Pepperdine motto: “Freely ye received. Freely give.”

Good Luck!

Answer 3

some have advised to leave leprechauns be. Threatening one might bring you more bad luck than good. Moreover, leprechauns are known to be tricky and not agreable. In the end, I would rather be a nice human than end up having eternal bad luck.

P.S sometimes leprechauns give people fools gold as a trick, and at night it darkens in color and becomes ashes. In addition, they tend to lie and tell you that it's under a marked tree. (when actually all the trees in the wood would be marked) lol cyl

Answer 4

If you're fortunate enough to catch him, you don't have to force him--it's in their Leprechaun Rulebook, Chapter 3, Section 11A. Paragraph 8-11. They must lead you to the pot of gold but nothing says you have to find it. They could lead for 40 years if they were so inclined. Think you can keep your eye steadily on one for that long?
Threatening to kill one only angers them. They're immortal but the idea that you wished harm means you have no love for man or beast. That would guarantee no gold.
Yes, they bite. They kick and punch and burn you with their long-stemmed pipes. Your best bet would be to swaddle one in cloth, except for his head (so you can keep his attention) and his feet (unless you plan on carrying him--be warned, he gains a pound with every step you take).
Good luck!

Answer 5

Watch Leprechaun through Leprechaun; Back to the Hood on DVD. If you see a Leprechaun, run!

Answer 6

Absolutely! Don't you know the old saying, "Catch a leprachaun, threaten and scold, and soon you'll have you're pot of gold!"

Answer 7

Not a good idea. They might be his teeth; you know, like a vampire except it's the gold that sucks out your life

Answer 8

no, becasue he will run away you hit him with a baseball bat, handcuff him to a fense, then whip him till he tells you and you dont enable him bypass, till you discover the pot of formidable and cover it

Force him to listen to Sanjaya until he take you to the gold.
Trust me you will be rich in no time.
