Venator was first introduced into the ''Halo'' games as an [[Armor customization (Halo 4)|armor set]] in ''[[Halo 4]]''. The armor has three available skins: Raptor (RPTR), Bayonet (BYNT), and Refractive (RFCT). The Bayonet and Refractive skins are not usable in [[Spartan Ops]]. As with all ''Halo 4'' armor, the skins were not included in the initial release of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', though the release of ''Halo 4'' on PC and the start of [[Series 4: Reclaimer]] saw the skins added into the collection as default unlocks.

The Venator set returns in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''. The helmet and body armor are unlockable as [[Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|armor permutations]] through the [[Requisition system]]. The body armor is not a fully-original design, and as such includes a number of supplementary ''Halo 4'' pieces—primarily the [[Outer-plated]] forearms and [[XG-89 Narrow]] legs. The Venator set has three alternate skins: Cestus, Retiarus, and Thraex.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*"Venator" is Latin for "hunter". The word commonly refers to men who hunted wild animals in Roman amphitheaters such as the Colosseum. Following this theme, the three skins for Venator armor in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' are named after three types of [[Wikipedia:Gladiator|gladiators]].
