In many campaign settings for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, Skerrit is the deity worshipped by the centaur race. Skerrit is also known as "The Forester". James M. Ward created Skerrit for the Deities and Demigods Cyclopedia (1980).
Skerrit is often portrayed as the most perfect example of the centaur race. He wields a bow and a spear. When in the forest, the braches and leaves of the trees move to impede his foes' attacks.
Skerrit's Glade is located on the Outer Plane of the Beastlands. Though he is probably the best known member of Titania's Seelie Court, he prefers to maintain his own realm separately.
Skerrit's clerics wear tan leafy vests. He is worshipped at the full moon in large groves. Ritual hunts and dances are a part of sacrifices to Skerrit.
