Quons

Quons are extraterrestrial from the planet Quon. The species are amphibious and prefer to spend most of their time submerged in water.

Monster from the Lost Lagoon[]

A member of the species Mowfus, crashed his ship on Earth and was forced to make his home in the Florida Everglades. He and his mate Bisq and unborn offspring hid in a cave known as the "Lost Lagoon", to keep away from the natives.[1] He came into contact with the superhero team the Fantastic Four who were on vacation in Florida. Reed Richards took the opportunity to search for the so-called "Lost Lagoon". During their investigation they spotted Mowfus in the water, but when they tried to get a closer look he managed to get away. Mowfus observed the humans as they relaxed on the beach. He worried he would be discovered so he took a serum to transform him into a human. Arriving at a nearby aquarium, he is mistaken for one of the employees and is asked to put on a performance with the dolphins. As he complied he was observed by the Fantastic Four. Impressed by his skills in the water, Reed then asked the strange man to lead them on a mission to find the Lost Lagoon. The man agreed, and when they got close he shocked them when he suddenly smashed through the bulkhead of their submarine, flooding it with water. The Fantastic Four followed after Mowfus in the water and were luckily led by him to an air-filled cavern. There they find Mowfus has reverted to his natural form. A fight briefly broke out, but Reed called it to a stop when he noticed that the creature posed no threat to them at all. They soon discovered that it was trying to repair its ship so the creature, his mate, and their unborn offspring can return to the stars. Allowing Mowfus to depart, the trio watched from the surface as the alien ship blasted out of the water and into the sky.[1]

Seeking a Cure[]

Mowfus was forced to return to Earth to get medicine when his mate Bisq contracted an illness from Earth, and desperate for aid, he kidnapped Sue Storm for help. This lead to another battle with the Fantastic Four.[2] But they eventually learned the truth about Mowfus and his desperation and once again offered to help the family. With Bisq cured, the family returned to the stars.[3]

Power Pack[]

Mowfus was forced to leave their unborn children behind in the Lost Lagoon. But the eggs were discovered by a group of deep sea explorers. Mowfus attacked their ship, and was able to get a couple of the eggs back into the water. The crew was saved by Power Pack, who were on vacation in Florida. Bisq took human form and tried to recover one of the eggs from a museum, but failed. The crew returned to find more and Bisq attacked. She was knocked out by the captain and Mowfus came to the rescue. Franklin Richards learned the identity of the creatures from his father and convinced him to stop. Power Pack used their powers to heal Bisq. The eggs then hatched, with the parents naming them Bruuk, Koln, and Xak. Mowfus and his family departed the planet yet again.[4]
