	'''Cernunnos''' is a Celtic deity... and that is actually as much as we know about him! No, seriously; Cernunnos survives only in various Celtic artistic depictions, which show a male figure with the horns of a stag, and a name on the Pillar of the Boatmen, a 1st century Gallo-Roman monument. Whilst figures like him appear throughout various Celtic splinters, no real information survives; from his surviving depictions, it has been theorized that he may have been a God of any or all of the following subjects: Animals, Nature, Life, Fertility, The Earth, Wealth, and the Underworld. In fact, so little information on the deity survives from the actual Celtic faiths that he is instead mostly known through the use of his name to identify the "Horned God" figure in various branches of Neopaganism, predominantly Wicca, where he is considered the God of Seasons and the Cycle of Life. He has also been named as one of the gods leading the [[Wild Hunt]] in some sources... but then, so too have [[Odin]], [[Woden]], and even his fellow Celtic god [[Arawn]].

	::''Cerunnos appears as a large man with the hooves, legs and antlers of a stag. His body is covered with the fur of a stag, and he wears a short, full beard. The Horned God is the essence of Nature on the Prime Material Plane, and hence cannot be killed. If his physical body receives 400 points of damage, his essence disperses, and he will form another body in 24 hours. ''
	::''Like Nature itself, he is absolutely neutral, and may sometimes act in what seems to be a mindless manner. He can be as violent and unrelenting as the strongest hurricane, but can also be as gentle as a peaceful morning in May. His responsibility is maintaining the balance of nature, and he will gladly aid or even work alongside anyone striving for this goal. His charisma is based not so much on his appearance as it is on his “aura,” which radiates to any creature a comforting sense of what is “natural” and “right” to that creature.''
	::''Cerunnos can summon any wilderness creature to his aid, including those of a magical nature. He is not able to Gate them in, however, and nearby creatures appropriate to the terrain must be determined by the DM. His summoning has a five-mile radius.''
	~~::''Cerunnos carries a heavy oaken staff which strikes for 6-60 points of damage. His spell casting is instantaneous.''~~
	::''When Cerunnos is on a [[Wild Hunt]], he is influenced and driven by a power beyond his control, which reduces him to a single-minded and almost berserker state. He will not speak until the Hunt is finished. He will not summon additional creatures, depending on his Pack until killed, then he will fight alone. He will ignore all but the lowest-level of his spells, preferring to fight hand-to-hand. This single-mindedness is not a normal condition for him, but Cerunnos can be just as violent, while retaining full control of his powers, when in a nonberserk state of mind.''

The [[Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition]] deity called, simply, the [[Master of the Wild Hunt]] could be looked at as a representation of Cernunnos, but it could just as easily be any of the gods associated with the [[Wild Hunt]].
