Poric

Poric is a short, greedy leprechaun who resides with his mountains of gold in the Top of the World, located in Moonlit Peaks. Meeting Poric is necessary in order to get the Shillelagh.

Appearance
Poric wears an all-green leprechaun outfit and striped black and white stockings. His hair colour is red and he sports a rugged beard and pipe in his mouth as well.

Personality
Poric is irritable and naturally selfish, and would rather stay in his cave full of gold rather than listen to what anyone else has to say.

Moonlit Peaks
Once Gerdy herds 50 percent of the creatures in Moonlit Peaks, the door to the Top of the World opens. Once going through the tunnel entrance into the fields of gold, Poric appears out of a well in the middle of the gold-filed cave. He calls Gerdy a "Thievin' mite" assuming the boy only came here to steal his gold. Gerdy tries to ask him for his hammer, however Poric completely ignores him and quickly sends Gerdy on his way back. Moley then appears right at the exit to the cave to help Gerdy get the hammer by suggesting that he should sneak along an ice path while Poric is not looking to his crock of gold. This proves to make Poric angry and he slips into the well he appeared from, dropping his Shillelagh in the process. Gerdy then uses it to unblock the exit which was covered up the moment Poric fell down the well.

Tournament Island
After Gerdy has beaten Sadorf, despite Poric's antagonistic personality, he can be spotted dancing around a campfire with Gerdy's friends.

Trivia

 * There was a design for a cloud-like level where Gerdy was supposed to meet Poric but was deleted for unknown reasons.
