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.

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.
