Leprockaun is a mystical and long-lived being, many millennia old. He
can generate rainbows instantly at any time to use as conveyor belts to
transport furniture from a house to his large pushcart, apparently
obsessed with collecting used furniture to resell. Paddy can also
instantly teleport across vast distances, taking with him his collected
goods. Paddy can generate (or manipulate) clouds that he can recline
on. He is somewhat mischievous in nature and carries small Sham-Rock
stones that grant the bearer one wish.

History:
(Flintstone Kids#4/2 (fb) - BTS) - Paddy O'Furniture
the Leprockaun scavenged and stole furniture to resell to his friends
as a decorator. The items might be returned after several centuries.
Paddy once had fun by putting a rubber snake in Saint Patrick's hat.
(Flintstone Kids#4/2) - Eventually, the Leprockaun's
travels took him to the town of Bedrock, where he stole the bedroom
furniture from
the sleepy boys Freddy Flintstone and Barney Rubble using a rainbow.
Eventually the lads found the rainbow's end and Paddy piling up the
furniture onto his pushcart. The Leprockaun cheerfully introduced
himself and admitted that catching him meant he had to grant a wish.
Freddy and Barney leapt at Paddy, but he teleported away and reclined
smugly on a cloud lounge, smoking his pipe. Freddy pretended to give up
chasing the Leprockaun but instead set a trap using his bedspread to
mimic a couch. Paddy soon found it, thinking it suitable for his friend
Jimmy McGrath, and sat on it, but was suddenly wrapped up in the
bedspread by Freddy and Barney. The Leprockaun admitted that he'd been
caught and handed over a wish-granting Sham-Rock stone to each boy.
Paddy then teleported away with his goods and Freddy realized that the
Leprockaun could have done that at any time.

Created by Michael Gallagher and Warren Kremer.
The Leprockaun revealed his name using a joke: "what's Irish and sits outside?" The answer: "Paddy O'Furniture" (patio furniture).

CLARIFICATIONS
:
Leprockaun has no known connections to:
Paddy the Leprockaun kept magic Sham-Rocks (stones in
the shape of a shamrock) in his pocket that he would pass out as a
reward for catching him. Sham-Rocks granted the bearer a wish at any
time, anywhere. Young Freddy Flintstone and Barney Rubble received one
each for catching the mischievous Leprockaun. Barney used his wish to
get them home from far away, while Freddy used his to have all the
furniture returned that Paddy had
stolen. The rocks vanished immediately after the wish was fulfilled.
