Quotes

 * Loafing: "Nah..."

Season 1
He makes his debut in episode 50 and depicts what Red J looks like. He resembles Jibanyan.

In episode 51, he depicts where Red J lives and who he lives with. Everything he talks about resembles Nate's house, Nate's parents, Nate himself, and Whisper.

In episode 52, he depicts Red J's minions. They resemble the Springdale Elementary students.

In episode 53, Jibanyan was ready to confess he is Red J until the real Red J showed up. He explains how he became a Yo-kai and angrily beats Red J and his minions. Red J admits defeat, but he describes a Yo-kai who is more powerful than him, that being Mighty Dog. Venoct thanks Nate and gives his medal before flying away. Jibanyan waves goodbye, but Nate and Whisper are worried that his next victim may be Komasan. ..

Season 2
In episode 94, he, Kyubi, and Dandoodle are the victims in Inaho and USApyon's mystery.

He is first summoned in episode 109 to prevent housekeeper Gattenmeier from launching the missliles that would have annihilated Earth. He successfully breaks her shield, but there was no need to punch her as her 24-hour timer beeped. Thus she stopped was she was doing, gave Nate her medal, and left. Venoct, Nate, and Jibanyan were speechless for moments until Whisper returned healthy.

In episode 119, he, Kyubi, and Hanahojin compete as a team in the Yo-1 Grand Prix. They are defeated when Nate uses a Cuttincheez stink rocket on them forcing them to pick their noses and crash into a rock.

In episode 120, he is recruited by Sangokushi commanders Komasan and Komajiro. He proceeds to slaughter a tiger, but Komasan proves the tiger is friendly and he gets annoyed when bitten by the tiger.

Trivia

 * In Yo-kai Watch 1, Venoct uses the assertive, masculine 'ore' first pronoun but, in the second game he instead uses the more polite/neutral 'watashi'. The reason why this happens is because of the events of Yo-kai Watch 2 which made him change along with some other Yo-kai.

Origin
Venoct is based on Yamata-no-Orochi (from which comes his Japanese name), the eight-headed serpent that terrorized Japan during the age of mythology, and demanded young maidens in sacrifice. The god Susanoo, who had been exiled after a dramatic fall-out with the goddess Amaterasu, rescues the princess Kushinada before she's sacrificed to Orochi, and defeats him by offering him sake to make him drunk. Susanoo's heroic deeds earn him Amaterasu's forgiveness, and he's once again allowed into the realm of the gods.

Venoct's appearance might also be based on Orochimaru, the former pupil and rival of the legendary ninja Jiraiya (see Ogama), and master of snake summoning magic.

Name Origin

 * "Venoct" is a combination of venom and oct, a prefix meaning "eight".
