History: (Marvel Super Action I#1/3/Marvel Premiere#38) - The skeleton of a Bigfin lay within the Region of Shadow. Tyndall of Klarn was sent there, told that the cobweb-covered skeleton was a shrine to the "Heart of Evil" which must be destroyed. Instead, Tyndall found an egg from which hatched Velanna of Klarn. Velanna made clothing for herself from the cobwebs coating the skeleton.
(Marvel Super Special#11) - While traveling through the Great Marsh, Mud-Butt, Tyndall and Velanna came across the body of a Bigfin which had ventured too far into shallow water and beached itself. Tyndall recognized the Bigfin as the same creature whose skeleton Velanna had been found inside of.
