History:
(Journey into Mystery I#103/3) - In the Land of Mirmir Thor was attacked by the flying dragon Skord. Thor launched a large boulder and it got stuck in the dragon's jaw. With the dragon incapacitated, Thor continued his journey.
(Avengers III#1) - Morgan Le Fay used the Norn Stones to gain control over many Asgardian beings, including Skord. She commanded Skord to attack former Avengers member Hercules on the outskirts of Cincinnati. Its fiery breath couldn't harm Hercules and it suddenly vanished as mysteriously as it had appeared.
Comments: Created by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby & Chic Stone.
The Thor Index mentioned that Ulfrin's next appearance was in Avengers III#1. The Avengers Index did not mention Ulfrin at all in Avengers III#1's entry. Online sources regularly list Ulfrin appearing in Avengers III#1, but the creature they picture is Skord.
