Odd ancestries: Leprechaun, Werebear, Banshee, Cowfolk

[Pathfinder Way]

Hi, could anyone point me to a PC ancestry (official, 3PP, or homebrew) for:

Leprechaun
Banshee
Werebear
Cowfolk

Glad for any help. We're converting from 5e homebrew.

No official ones: that said, you can shoehorn Werebear and Cowfolk into the Versatile Heritage Beastkin, Leprechaun into Sprite and Banshee into the ghost archetype. These are far from perfect, but can give you a starting point.

As far as 3PP/homebrew, Battlezoo Ancestries has minotaurs.

Thank you!

No problem, glad to help. Hope you enjoy pathfinder. ;)

Leprechaun might be better as Halfling. The luck based powers may be more what you are after.
Then think about Fey Influence, or perhaps a versatile heritage to make them a bit more exotic.

Cowfolk could probably be represented by Beastkin versatile heritage, and Werebear is definitely Beastkin.

Banshee would probably be a versatile heritage like ghost, but would probably need some extra feats to represent it Wail ;)

Leprechaun....I'm not sure mechanically what such a heritage would have other than being small sized.

I'd like to think that leprechauns would be a Sprite heritage. They make dancing shoes for the fairies and hide their gold at the end of rainbow bridges. I would love to see the PF1 Moonlight Bridge Oracle ability refluffed as an ancestry feat for Leprechauns.

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions. I picked up 67 third-party PF2 pdfs in order to model our odd-ball gallery of PCs, of which these are only a few of many!:

Re: Leprechaun, I found just the thing: the Shamrock Gnome Heritage by Necromancers of the Northwest. Having some sort of "invisiblity" was key -- in this case, Dimension Door. Awesome.

Besides the Leprechaun PC, we also have a "Half-Leprechaun" PC, which we'll be able to do with Human Ancestry + these homebrew rules by Xuldarinar: Half-Gnome Heritage + Gnome Atavism Feat (Shamrock Gnome):

Re: Werebear. Yeah, the Beastkin will do it.

Re: Cowperson. Yeah, the Minotaur as a base. And I found 3 different 3pp versions, besides Battlezoo! We picked up all those pdfs. It will be great to draw feats from all of them!

But I'll need to plug in her Lactation power as an Ancestry Feat. During a one-hour rest, once per day, she can make 4 minor healing potions from being milked. :)

Re: Banshee, yeah I see we'll need to go with Elf + Ghost Archetype, and aim for sonic spells via a spellcasting class, e.g. Undead Bloodline Sorcerer.

And/or maybe aim for the "Invoke the Banshee" spell via this 3pp Warlock class: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/283453/The-Faithful-Few

And aim for the high-level Wail of the Banshee spell in the far future!

You could make a beastkin as a cowfolk.

My cowperson doesn’t shapechange. In my campaign setting, they are a distinct humanoid species.
