Giogoto ("friend of the tribe" ^[1] or "enlightened, yet not of the blood"^[2] is a Vistani term for a giomorgo whom has been recognized as a close ally or affiliate to the Vistani people. The Vistani do not cheat giogotos, and giogotos may seek shelter with the Vistani for a limited time.ref name="VRMCIII p.112">Van Richten's Monster Hunter Compendium p.112</ref> p.112</ref> Depending upon the circumstances, such a person may be granted travel with the caravan.^[1]

Despite a giogoto's affinity for the tribe that "adopts" the individual, there is always a sense of distance as becoming a giogoto does not mean joining the tribe. The giogoto remains separated, tolerated but not allowed to partake of certain facets of Vistani life, such as certain Vistani-only rituals like the Lunaset.ref name="VRMCIII p.112">Van Richten's Monster Hunter Compendium p.112</ref>

This term can been applied to potentially full-blooded individuals whose full Vistani parentage is still somewhat in question.^[1] Vistani from different A Vistani who interacts with others from a different tasque is thought of as giomoto by those members of that different tasque.ref name="VRMCIII p.112">Van Richten's Monster Hunter Compendium p.112</ref>
