Biology[]
Shadow Venoct is humanoid with dark grey skin and long pale gray-white hair that covers most of his face. A small amount of his hair is pulled into a ponytail held with a dark blue band. He has a single visible red eye as his iris, with the sclera being black. He wears a blue outfit with a dark blue material around the waist held with a goldenrod band. The lower leg is covered by dark blue stockings to match his fingerless gloves, while the sandals are black. Around his neck is a scarf of black, with the tails resembling dragon heads.
In a dream, it seems that Shadow Venoct likes very dark places, almost mirroring Hidabat in the real world; so much that when Whisper opened the closet he was in, he threatened the butler Yo-kai with his scarf.
Shadow Venoct is Venoct's shadow. Presumably, being Venoct's shadow, Shadow Venoct has the same abilities Venoct has. Unusually, however, Shadow Venoct shows a penchant for healing.
According to Recap Time, Shadow Venoct can make people disappear from the world if they look at him.
In the Yo-kai Watch anime, EP067. Shadow Venoct lives in Katie's closet. In Yo-kai Watch Blasters, there is a playable quest based on Episode 67 of the anime.
It is said that Goku Orochi taught Shadow Venoct in the art of assassination, based on Goku Orochi's Medallium biography.

In the anime[]
Shadow Venoct in EP186
Shadow Venoct in EP067
Shadow Venoct makes a brief appearance in Katie's Yo-kai Butler, where Whisper looks in Katie's closet, and finds Shadow Venoct sleeping inside it. Whisper was scared, so he closed the closet door before the shadowy Yo-kai would notice him.
Shadow Venoct wouldn't make another appearance until EP186, facing off Venoct, Illuminoct and Venoctobot.
Etymology[]
- Kage Orochi translates to "Shadow Orochi."
- "Venoctoscuro", is a combination of Venocto (Venoct's Spanish name) and oscuro (dark).
- "Velenombra" is a portmanteau of Velenotto (Venoct's Italian name) and ombra (shadow).
- "Schattenato" is a portmanteau of "schattenhaft" (Shadowy) and "Viptor" (Venoct's German name).
- "Octorgombre" is a portmanteau of "Octorgone" (Venoct's French name) and "ombre" (Shadow).
- "Beullaek Imugi" (블랙 이무기) means "Black snake".
- "Yǐng dàshé" (影大蛇) means "Shadow Orochi".
Origin[]
See Venoct#Origin.
Trivia[]
- Despite only appearing in a dream, Shadow Venoct's medal is registered in the Recap Time of his debut episode, along with Goldenyan. In said dream, it is even implied his abilities revolve around vanishing people from existence.
- Shadow Venoct's name is shortened to "Shad. Venoct" in-game due to text limitations.
- There is a glitch in the game that allows you to befriend a Shadow Venoct with a Logical or Brainy attitude even though it is a Restoration-attribute Yo-kai. It is highly recommended to keep this attitude since it will either give him a huge boost in Spirit or both Spirit and Speed.
