In [[Universe (The Non-Adventures of Wonderella)|one universe]], superheroine [[Wonderella]] was pranked by Leprechauns every [[Saint Patrick’s Day]].

In [[Dimension 77]], Leprechauns existed, as well as many other fae creatures like [[Brownie]]s. In 1876, the [[Jenny Everywhere#Adventures with the Cupids|Jenny Everywhere]] of [[38167th Universe|another universe]] met [[the Lurigadawne of Tipperary]], then 874 years old, and saved his life. She used the first of her wishes to get him to make her a supernaturally good pair of shoes, and kept the other two in reserve. Later, having lost of the shoes and not knowing about the rule that no two of the three wishes could be the same, she returned to Dimension 77 in the hope of getting the Lurigadawne to make her a new pair. She discovered that her old friend had joined the [[Secret League of the Orange-Bearded Gnomes]] so that the laws of magic would recognise him as a [[Gnome]] and thus make him immune to all injuries save [[egg]]-related ones. This was put to the test when he was stabbed by [[the Mad Marquess]] in a duel. Beginning to heal almost immediately, the Lurigadawne informed the Marquess that his sword might retain magical properties from having imbibed Leprechaun blood.

The Lurigadawne was not apparently the only Leprechaun to have joined the Secret League, which other accepted other types of Little People including [[Lutin]]s, [[Gnatling]]s and some types of [[Elf|Elves]].
