O'Reilly the Leprechaun is a very small green leprechaun. He has shaggy eyebrows and a beard and is dressed all in green with a green coatee (short jacket) and waistcoat, a bowler hat or canvas sailor's hat with a four-leaf clover in the hatband, short green trousers and light- and dark-green-banded stockings, and dark green shoes with gold buckles. He always carries a white clay tobbaco pipe in his teeth to complete the stereotype. There is a possible parody of him who is O'Really from Moshi Monsters.
Biography
He is seen as Ralph's imaginary friend who tells him to burn things.[1] He is also seen during Gil, Kirk Van Houten, and the Crazy Cat Lady's St. Patrick's Day Song.[2] He was also seen in the parade,[3] he attacks Homer & Bart,[4] and the well in where he is featured alongside his orange (Northern Irish) doppelgänger.[5]
When the town was divided over whether or not the Simpsons should share the money from a painting they bought from the Van Houtens, he was for them to keep the money to themselves.[6]
Non-Canon Appearance
Marriage
The Leprechaun married the Gypsy. Yoda performed the ceremony.[7]
Death
The Leprechaun allied with Sideshow Bob, Kang, and the ghost of Frank Grimes in an attempt at killing the Simpson family in revenge at a Christmas tree lot (being the fourth member that was alluded to). However, he insisted on them dancing before commencing the revenge, which ultimately resulted in Maggie Simpson killing them via beheading them (with only Frank Grimes "surviving" due to his already being dead).[8]
