The Venator is a tribe of hunter-gatherers that walk as both wolf and man, and they possess a close-knit pack mentality. Their empathic/telepathic powers are nearly unmatched by any other Crinos tribe, due to their pack oriented nature (except, perhaps, the Harcolin and other pack oriented tribes). This also makes them one of the deadliest and most efficient tribes, though not necessarily the strongest. Venator are, however, the finest hunters, able to take down a herd of deer or other prey quickly and painlessly with only a few warriors.

The Venator can generally be found in the Plains of Venator in the late spring, summer, and early fall, while in winter they pack up and move to the mountains.

The leaders of the tribe, though this is rarely defined, are as follows: The Bre'shen (Brother of Wolf), or the pack leader, a very tedious position that is often challenged, though the ultimate decision maker of the tribe; the Sha'cri (Spirit of Crinos/magic), the shaman of the tribe, the wisest and deadliest as well of the tribe, the Bre'shen makes no decision without first consulting the Sha'cri; and finally, the Sha'hun (Spirit Hunter), this position is one of much prestige, for it holds the responsibility of being lead hunter and protector of Venator territory and Crinos in general.

Forms: Dimoh is used as often as Khiulnter, for they revel in the use of their mindspeech and feel that both forms are of peace. They will use Dimoh for non-natives though, but often Khiulnter just to be stubborn and difficult. Khiulnter is also used as the form of the hunt and they move and act as wolves, often hunting and sharing their kill with true wolves. Dimo-Khu, however, is only seen in times of war and ritual combat. If a non-Venator is unlucky enough to cause a Venator to take this form, they had best run, or be prepared to fight.
