The plague mask he wears is able to be locked so he doesn't accidentally bite another when he goes 'feral'. While in his feral state, he is not fully conscious of his actions and behavior, only vaguely remembering hours after the feral state reaches its end. Venomshank's bite can turn others into zombies, though he doesn't have full control over it.
While in his feral state, Venomshank loses almost full control of his body and consciousness, turning into an uncontrollable beast. His bite becomes especially deadly, as it can transform any inphernal into a zombie. To prevent any accidental transformations, he almost always wears a plague mask with a locking mechanism.

Venomshank had a major role in both desctructions of Crossroads. The first fall being a direct result of the fight between a feral Venomshank and Windforce, the collateral damage of their fight heavily damaging Crossroads, resulting in several makeshift medical tents being set up by the residents to help the injured and wounded. Venomshank finds out about Sword's disappearance and enters his feral state once again, tearing up Crossroads in an attempt to find him. His rampage is stopped by Ban Hammer (Windforce's child), a group of civilians (Hyperlaser, Rocket, Vinestaff and Boombox), and Ghostwalker (his brother), who imprisons him.

Venomshank can be described as the nurturing one out of The Swords, having been the one to immediately adopt Sword when spawned. He can be seen as a stern, calm, protective and reclusive fatherly figure. He is highly protective to a fault of Sword, keeping him in the dark regarding important historical events in the Inpherno and The Swords.

Venomshank is confronted by Windforce two weeks after the events of the Scorch, urging him to take her brother's place and lead Crossroads. Venomshank suggests Windforce do it instead, but she rejects, insisting Venomshank is the only suitable deity. Venomshank declines, which prompts Windforce to begin criticizing his responsibilities, stating that he's "too busy playing house" and that he should tell Sword "the truth". Sensing the hostility towards his mentee, Venomshank immediately tells Windforce to leave.

Windforce notices Sword eavesdropping on their conversation and approaches him with hostile intent, provoking Venomshank to physically stop her. This enrages Windforce, making her lash out at Venomshank by slashing her sword, inadvertently injuring Sword. Seeing his young mentee be injured, Venomshank immediately enters his feral state, attacking his sister. How Venomshank feels towards Windforce in the present day is currently unknown.

Venomshank is Sword's mentor and guardian. Venomshank is seen to be extremely protective of Sword, scolding him when he comes home late from searching for Medkit and often reminding him of the nighttime dangers of Crossroads. He keeps Sword on a strict training regime, providing him with important teachings about combat.

Venomshank cares deeply about Sword, often times lashing out and going feral when he is injured or goes missing.

During Venomshank's second rampage across Crossroads, Ghostwalker directly intervened to stop his brother, along with Ban Hammer and a group of civilians(Hyperlaser, Rocket, Vinestaff, Boombox). How Venomshank felt towards Ghostwalker in the past and after his capture is currently unknown.
