Yeah I know. They are actually called symbiotes because of their characteristics. The Symbiotes in the comics were actually parasites and the Venom Symbiote was said to be the weirdest parasite because the other parasites said that Venom Symbiote chose to have a symbiotic relationship with it's host rather than taking over him completely(Parasitic). Which means the symbiotes actually had the name symbiote because they can have a symbiotic relationship or a parasitic relationship with their host depending on what they chose.

I don't know if Skurd is the same, it probably depends on how he eats.
