Other Origins: A similar faery known as a Monciello is native to Italy.
Other Names: His Nibs.
Element: Earth.
Appearance and Temperament: The Clurichaun (Kloo-ree-kahn) is a solitary faery who resembles his cousin the Leprechaun, and no sightings of females have ever been recorded.
He is the self-appointed guardian of a wine cellar, one which he chooses in his own time, and then moves in and makes himself at home.
The Clurichaun is almost always drunk, but is impeccably well-groomed and well-dressed.
Generally he has a cheerful disposition, but is rather aloof even while intoxicated.
Like many faeries, the Clurichaun wears a red hat which may be made of plants.
Time Most Active: All Year.
Lore: A Clurichaun in your cellar will prevent casks from leaking and wines from going bad, and he will chase away all those who come to take a drink uninvited by the master of the house.
Occasionally he can be heard singing Irish folk songs in the wine cellars. If you ignore or mistreat him he will wreak havoc on your cellars and on your home, and he will most definitely spoil your wine stock.
Once you have chased away your Clurichaun by insensitivity or lack of hospitality no other will ever come to take his place.
