Symbiotes are fully aware and sentient creatures, but in their natural state are vicious predators, compelling their hosts to violence and corrupting them. [34] However, they can be influenced by their hosts, [215] which resulted in them seeking to forsake their dark nature. The symbiotes formerly worshipped the dark god Knull, but rebelled against him and imprisoned him. Going to extreme lengths to expunge their origins from their history, [22] the symbiotes of Klyntar have no notable cultural traits, or at least none other civilizations would understand, nor do they express themselves through literature, art, nor music. Outside of a desire to maintain peace across the galaxy via the Agents of the Cosmos, [7] the Symbiotes only gain some form of cultural identity when they are bonded to a host. [215] Malevolent symbiotes who broke away from the Symbiotes hive-mind formed into the intergalactic Symbiote Hive and seek to conquer the universe. Symbiotes that have fully bonded with their hosts have a more biologically complex symbiosis with their hosts, [187] and can share thoughts and memories with them. Carnage has also been known to hide in its host's bloodstream. [188] In the far future, all of the biological life was being exterminated by the A.S.I., forcing the surviving symbiote hive to retreat. In an attempt to preserve biological life the Venom symbiote sought to collaborate with its fellow symbiotes, but was unable to convince them due to all of the symbiotes being too selfish. This led to the Symbiote War of (Failed) Unification, in which the Venom symbiote was forced to use its powers to put down all of its brethren, leaving it the only living symbiote.

All symbiotes have the ability to form tendril-like pseudopods. Venom has used this to great effect by forming weak tendrils and shields from his constituent matter. [189] Carnage discharges tendrils of his constituent matter instead of webbing. [185] Scream has numerous tendrils composing her costume's "hair", which she has used as a powerful whip. [190] The Donna Diego incarnation of Scream received an action figure in Toy Biz's Venom: Planet of the Symbiotes action figure series, which originated her codename, though Marvel did not officially use it until 2007. Venom and his descendant symbiotes have been shown to be adept at controlling their coloration. This allows them to take on the appearance of normal clothing, to provide highly effective and complex camouflage, and to even disguise their hosts' physical features. [196]Doctor Octopus attempt to replicate Spider-Man's abilities to create an army of Spider-Soldiers via his DNA resulted in artificially creating the following Symbiotes; Venom, Gamma Venom, Anti-Venom, and Carnage.

When an alien symbiote latched onto Spider-Man, it almost made him lose sight of his morals. And this symbiote created a spawn, transforming Cletus Kasady into the ruthless villain Carnage. According to The Maker, when symbiotes are bonded with other lifeforms, the green liquid that "leaks" from their mouths is how the symbiote excrete waste when it dissolves foreign matter that enters the host's body. [125] Alternate Reality Versions [ ] Ultimate Universe ( Earth-1610) [ ]Donna Diego's superhuman abilities stem from the Scream symbiote. Scream often uses her 'hair' as a weapon to wrap or tangle enemies (much like Medusa of the Inhumans), and can mimic clothing as camouflage. Like Spider-Man and the Venom symbiote, Scream has wall-crawling and web-slinging abilities, and boasts an early-warning sense. Scream also possesses some degree of superhuman strength but the exact limits of which are unknown. Soon after, the presence of the surviving symbiotes attracted their only known predator, the Xenophage. Xenophages are a race of amorphous, shape-shifting aliens whose diets consist mainly of symbiotes, though they are not above eating the occasional humanoid if they get particularly hungry. The Xenophage took a particular interest in Venom, as symbiotes tend to become more "flavorful" after bonding with a host for a long period of time. Venom managed to dispatch the first Xenophage, though more eventually arrived on Earth to seek out their exotic prey. [49] At some point Paibok allied himself with a number of Symbiotes battling both Spider-Man and the Human Torch.

The Venom symbiote split itself into a massive army of symbiotes that proceeded to invade New York. Spider-Man went after Venom himself and following their fight he confronted the symbiote itself. If he had helped Nightcrawler the New York citizens would be freed from the symbiotes, but if he helped Green Goblin Spider-Man would become the symbiotes' ruler. [135] Earth-12041 [ ] The Andi Benton incarnation of Scream appears as a playable character in Marvel Future Fight. Additionally, Benton as Silence appears as an alternate costume. [20] The Donna Diego incarnation of Scream appears as a boss in Spider-Man and Venom: Separation Anxiety. [16]By virtue of having partially bonded with Spider-Man, Venom and its descendants all have spider-like powers, including the ability to cling to surfaces and produce organic webbing. [164] Most can also avoid detection by Spider-Man's "spider sense". [184] [185] Unlike the Symbiotes of Earth-616, these are innately evil. They're also able to morph their bodies to be able to stand up, walk, and fight with superhuman speed, strength, and durability. The Symbiotes can even spread themselves out, with multiple versions of one symbiote running around at once. [150] Earth-TRN688 [ ] The Dark Carnage symbiote's bond to Cletus's decaying corpse and reanimation of him as an undead being.
