Accepting defeat, Bigby swore to think no more of his dead mother or loathsome father, instead burying his hatred and grief. Once he felt he was of sufficient strength to confront his father, Bigby journeyed to Wind's castle seven times to kill him, and seven times was he proved no match for the elemental might of his father. He soon grew to gargantuan size and regularly devoured entire towns, defeated armies, and even killed a dragon. Īs Bigby began eating humans, he grew unnaturally large. Following that incident, he swore to only hunt humans. He survived by holding his breath for three weeks (another gift from being the son of the North Wind) and passing the stones until he could manage to swim to the surface. A local woodsman cut him open while Bigby was sleeping, pulled Red Riding Hood and her grandmother out of his stomach (the two had some magic to them and thus survived his assault), sewed rocks into his belly, and threw Bigby into a river. Sometime after this, the first humans he hunted and ate were Red Riding Hood and her grandmother. By the time he actually hunted the Three Little Pigs, he had discovered some of the peculiar gifts he inherited from his father he apparently failed to kill the pig brothers seeing as all three survived through the Exodus. Fueled by his loss, Bigby personally swore vengeance against the capricious North Wind, vowing to eat something bigger as each day passed until he became large and strong enough to confront his father.Īt some unknown point in his life, Bigby set his sights on three anthropomorphic pigs while they were not the largest pigs he hunted, he thought by eating all three at once he would technically still be honoring his vow. Unfortunately, he proved unable to defend her remains due to his small size. When his mother did finally die, his elder brothers left in search of their father and Bigby remained behind to protect her corpse from scavengers and carrion eaters. Watching his mother die of sadness and unrequited love, young Bigby grew to hate his father and regard him with little respect. However his mother loved all her sons equally and tried her best to shield Bigby from his brother's bullying. As the runt of the litter, Bigby was often teased and mockingly called the "Big Bad Wolf" by his brothers, who soon shortened it to "Bigby". Soon after her lover fled, Winter gave birth to a litter of cubs in the Black Forest, including the one that would become the Big Bad Wolf of legend. Taking canine form, he courted her and stayed by her side for two seasons but - due to his father's temperament - he was drawn back towards his castle, leaving Winter heartbroken.
