Leprechauns' ancestry is said to have come from a magical race of people; Tuatha De Danaan. They arrived in Ireland on magical floating ships and wearing red, not green, suits. Spending most of their time alone, they made shoes, played music, and occasionally drank together at evening parties (Polaski). They continued to live there in peace for hundereds of years untill the Celts arrived. The Celts and leprechauns did not get along, and soon fighting began. The leprechauns with their sling rainbows eventually proved to be no match for the Celt's iron swords (Briggs).
