SYMBIOTE

Symbiotes, canonically known as the Klyntar, are an amorphous species of inorganic cosmic organisms created from the living abyss by the void god Knull. Requiring organic hosts to achieve their full physical potential, these sentient entities grant superhuman abilities, genetic memories, and shapeshifting powers to their bonded wearers. Most famous for bonding with Peter Parker and Eddie Brock to create Venom, the symbiotes have evolved from sinister alien costumes into pivotal intergalactic guardians across the Marvel Universe.
