Meet Tadhg. Pronounced like TAI-g.

Tadhg is a Púca ("Pooka"), a mythical creature originating from Celtic and Gaelic mythology able to shapeshift into animal forms. While he could change into other types of animals like foxes, wolves, mice, etc., this image is meant to show what he usually looks like -- a sort of large rabbit with a dog-like tail. Like most Púca, Tadhg is likely to start mischief with other people with his magic trickery, often disguising himself as someone or something else. He can be nice, or he can be mean...it all depends on how he feels. He does tend to miss a detail or two when trying to impersonate someone specifically, however, so it's a good thing he usually has some way to make himself disappear when he's been found out.

Tadhg is hard to catch, hence his calm and confident expression, but it's certainly not impossible to trap him. It just might take some ingenuity and/or some potent magic to do so. He'll claim he lets folks catch him every now and then, if just to save face. Sometimes he's right, but if he looks really nervous when he's captured, there's a good chance he actually can't escape.
