-The leprechaun is among the many monsters present in [[Hack 1.0|the very first version of ''Hack'']] by [[Andries Brouwer]], along with "Hack for PDP-11" (which was based on an early draft). In early versions such as this and [[NetHack 1.3d]], leprechuans used the {{white|L}} glyph and had slightly different behavior: they would still attack players that closed in as they attempted to keep their distance.

-[[SLASH'EM]] introduces the [[leprechaun wizard]], which has slightly better AC and the added ability to cast clerical [[monster spell]]s. While leprechaun wizards do not spawn in [[leprechaun hall]]s, leprechauns can [[grow up]] into leprechaun wizards - a leprechaun generated with a [[potion of gain level]] can quickly become an item-cursing annoyance. Both monsters can also [[Monsters with hits creatures as a +x weapon (SLASH'EM)|hit as a +1 weapon]].

 Like other minor demons and fey creatures, leprechauns are subject to bonus damage from [[iron]] and [[silver]] weapons. Leprechauns are also capable of stealing gold items as well as gold pieces.
