The scene featuring a [[Leprechaun]] stuck in a [[Climbable Tree|tree]] and surrounded by curious [[Gnome]]s is a clear homage to the viral [[wikipedia:Crichton Leprechaun|Crichton Leprechaun]] incident. The setup ~~closely~~ mirrors the ~~2006 event~~ in Crichton, Alabama, ~~where locals~~ claimed to see a Leprechaun in a tree~~, drawing national attention~~. To ~~make the reference even more obvious~~, the [[Leprechaun Sketch|in-game sketch]] ~~shown~~ is a replica of the ~~crude~~ drawing ~~that aired~~ on ~~local news—further solidifying this moment as~~ a ~~playful nod~~ to the ~~internet-famous meme~~.

The scene featuring a [[Leprechaun]] stuck in a [[Climbable Tree|tree]] and surrounded by curious [[Gnome]]s is a clear homage to the viral [[wikipedia:Crichton Leprechaun|Crichton Leprechaun]] incident. The setup mirrors the widely shared news segment in which residents of Crichton, Alabama, claimed to see a Leprechaun in a tree. To top it off, the [[Leprechaun Sketch|in-game sketch]] is an exact replica of the infamous drawing shown on TV.

Even the name of the quest—[[Leprechaun Flute (Quest)|Leprechaun Flute]]—is a reference to the man in the original news clip who claimed to possess a special [[Leprechaun Flute]], passed down through generations. It's a layered and hilarious homage, cleverly included by [[Dew]].
