    Most have Eurocentric accents because those are the areas the various legends and stories originated.

    Various depictions of leprechauns make them pretty much Irish rednecks. I love Mad Sweeney’s depiction in American Gods.

      All the characters in my DnD campaigns that I DM have European/American accents because I’m white and I worry doing other accents will seem racist.

        I love giving different races accents for exactly this reason. All of my Devils sound like white South Africans (Zariel speaks the Queen’s English) and all of my Hags have an Appalachian accent. Demons invariably have a Cockney accent.
