I need to find a translation for leprechaunds in figurative sense, in use in Ireland.
I have found tones of descriptions and definitions on leprechaunds, no one matches with my translation.
My problem is finding the right meaning of leprechaund in the following text: " There are only 20 remaining leprechauns left alive in Ireland, making it the country's most endagered species. It is widely feared that the few that are left will succumb to Bird Flu once it reaches the Emerald Isle."
A literal translation does not make any sense here.

Como dices, no son gnomos ni duentes propiamente tales. La mitología habla de seres mitad humanos y mitad fantasmas.

Comment: "Gracias María Eugenia. En los días transcurridos, encontré que Carmen Bravo Vilasante sugiere mantener leprechaun en las traducciones (plural leprechaunds). Disculpa mi demora en calificar la respuesta, es la primera vez que uso ProZ. Saludos"
