A representation of a Clurichaun in T. C. Croker's Fairy Legends and Traditions of the South of Ireland

The clurichaun is an Irish fairy which resembles its cousin, the leprechaun. Clurichauns are said to be always drunk, however, unlike their cousins, they are surly. Clurichauns enjoy riding sheep and dogs like horses at night but if you treat them well they will protect your wine cellar. If mistreated, they will wreak havoc on your home and spoil your wine stock.
