Each has a distinct combat style. Officer Mulligan also bonds with a green symbiote, though the production source describing it does not give it a proper name.
The named symbiotes in the new army
Production VFX supervisor Aharon Bourland identifies these symbiotes and describes how their abilities distinguish them. She says the designs began with research into the characters’ comic-book versions, then evolved into versions suited to the film’s story.
| Symbiote | Appearance or ability described by the production supervisor |
|---|---|
| Jim | A copper-brown bruiser with powerful punching fists. |
| Lasher | A green-red symbiote who is quick and attacks by slashing. |
| Lava | Uses a red-and-yellow fire whip. |
| Animal and Tendril | Two symbiotes that can combine into a hybrid. Their tendril cage restrains a Xenophage. |
Bourland’s descriptions appear in The Art of VFX interview with the film’s production VFX supervisors. The abilities make the group more than a lineup of differently colored creatures: Jim is built for blunt-force attacks, Lasher for speed and slashing, Lava for a whip strike, and Animal and Tendril for restraint.
What is Mulligan’s symbiote called?
DNEG confirms that Officer Mulligan bonds with a green symbiote and describes its design as translucent, cyan-shimmering, and snake-like. Its production account does not provide a proper name, so “Mulligan’s green symbiote” is the most precise description supported by that source. See DNEG’s account of its work on the film.

#1 Best Overall
- In Venom: The Last Dance, Tom Hardy returns as Venom, one of Marvel?s greatest and most complex characters, for the final film in the trilogy. Eddie and Venom are on the run. Hunted by both of their worlds and with the net closing in, the duo are forced into a devastating decision that will bring the curtains down on Venom and Eddie's last dance.
What about Dr. Payne’s symbiote?
Bourland says Dr. Payne’s symbiote gives her lightning-like abilities, connecting the power to Payne’s character history. The cited interview passage does not name the symbiote, so it is best identified by its host rather than assigned an unconfirmed name.
Are these every symbiote in the film?
No exhaustive production roster is established by the cited accounts. They confirm the named army members above and describe Mulligan’s and Dr. Payne’s symbiotes, but that does not settle the identities of every briefly seen symbiote. The film’s production interview also discusses how the creatures’ abilities were designed to complement one another and serve the story.
