Venoct

Venoct (Japanese: オロチ Orochi) is a Slippery tribe, Thunder-attribute S rank Yo-Kai that uses his dragon scarf to attack. In the Japanese Yo-kai Daijiten (yo-kai dictionary) it states that'' ' he is Youmakai's elite that uses his dragon scarf made from his aura to attack. And the power he has is top class.''

Appearance
A white figure with long dark teal hair that covers most of his face. A small amount is pulled into a ponytail held with a sky blue band. He has a single visible eye that is yellow in color. He wears a dark purple outfit with a black material around the waist held with a white band. The lower leg is covered by black material to match his fingerless gloves, while the toed-sandals are beige. Around his neck is a scarf of sky blue with the tails resembling dragon heads. He is 140 cm. tall (size of 5th grader). In Yo-kai Watch Ukiukipedia, it features a version of him with a black knit hat that has the Slippery sign on it.



Relationships
Venoct has some kind of relationship with King Enma. If you do the quest, Abaredaijya to Enmasama (The great outraging serpent and Enmasama) you will figure out that Venoct was the great outraging serpent. When talking to Venoct about the promise he made with him, he does say that he's watching over the human world in order to keep a friend's promise which turns out to be King Enma.

Red J
In the anime, Venoct really hates him. In the last episode of his own series, it shows that he died as a human when Red J. caused his village to go on fire, killing all of his friends and his family. Venoct, who wanted revenge, turned into a Yo-kai as we see him now.

Trivia

 * In Yo-kai Watch 1, Venoct calls himself 'Ore' which is one of the ways Japanese people say I but, in the second game, he calls himself 'Watashi' which is another way to say I. 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, 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.

Orochi'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" might be a combination of venom and oct, a prefix meaning "eight".
