Carnun is widely known as "Cernunnos", or "Herne the Hunter". He could possibly be the first and oldest god of Celtica and europe. He is Master of The Hunt and his domain is the forest and everything in it. This sort of god would be ideal for (pre)celts of the time: hunter-gatherers on the verge of farming and pasturing; and the Bronze Age.
Carnun is a shape-shifter and the ultimate hunter. Heavy sacrifices were made for his appeasement; the forest, afterall, was a wild, big, and dangerous place. He was known to take if nothing was given. He was the original Dracula, the original werewolf.
