Longfin

Longfin is a character from the WaveDancers storyline of ElfQuest, part of a community of sea-dwelling elves distinct from the forest-based Wolfriders. Associated with aquatic companions like Snakeskin, Spray, and Spine, Longfin inhabits the ocean-oriented corner of the ElfQuest universe.

Longfin made their debut in the pages of ElfQuest: WaveDancers #1 in 1996, brought to life by Kathryn Bolinger and Steve Blevins during comics' Copper/Modern Age — stepping into the beloved, richly imagined world of ElfQuest at a moment when that universe was expanding in exciting new directions. Keeping vivid company with characters like Snakeskin, Spray, Spine, Salt, and Moonmirror, Longfin inhabits a corner of the ElfQuest saga that feels wonderfully distinct and atmospheric. Though their catalog footprint is small — turning up across titles like The Discovery, Metamorphosis, and The Final Quest Special over a span of nearly seventeen years — that kind of quiet longevity speaks to a character with real staying power in a deeply passionate fandom. For ElfQuest devotees tracing every thread of this intricate tapestry, Longfin is one of those rewarding finds hiding just beneath the surface.
