I'm rereading (to gaze on all the details I missed while I was in gotta-find-out-what-happens-next mode).
On page 156 of the first adventure
http://sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=156, the info page about the Trainsaw, there is a picture taken from what is apparently the last moment of the Hjorten's fatal third trip. My first impression was GIANT EFFING SPIDER NOPE NOPE NOPE, but spiders aren't mammals so obviously that couldn't be what was in the picture, and after a second look it reminds me of the Giant Claws of Cow Slicing that presumably belong to Surma.
It's a long way from Sweden to Finland, especially if you can't take the ferry. But it's been at least twelve years (the proposal for Dalahasten was dated in Year 79).
