Venelarius already is shown from the start, drinking from the river. It turns around as it hears a branch crack, attracting it to the attention of The hunter. As soon as it does it dashes for him/her, poison splattering from its claws as it readies a slash. Because it was so telegraphed The hunter evades the attack but is knocked down by....a Tonihiru.

## Interactions with The Frenzy/Hyper Status/Apex

Venelarius when frenzied gains a more light purple to its fur and grey horns. If it is frenzied then Tonihiru becomes frenzied too.

Hyper Venelarius gains a speed boost to attacks and causes Poison more often.

Apex Venelarius instantly cause uninfected Tonihiru to enter the frenzied state when they come near it, and always cause poison with its claw attacks without fail. Should Tonihiru become uninfected by hunters, Venelarius will proceed to infect them again by force, causing minor damage to the Tonihiru in the process.
