Much as we have seen with The Ancient Roman Gladiator known as The Bestiarius (who were Gladiators trained to fight wild, captive animals to the death in The Arena) – another form of Fighter in this Class was The Venator. The Venator presented the ''spectacle'' of ''The Hunt'', to the delight of The Crowds. They pretended to ''hunt'' various animals – as they would in the wild. After capture, the animals would be returned to their cages. Venator's also performed various tricks and stunts with the animals, as a form of Ancient ''Animal Tamer''. Venator's wore no Armor, and carried only Trap Spears and Nets. Some did wear light Armor (only for show).
