 The jabberwock is a creature featured in ''Jabberwocky'', a famous nonsense poem by [[Wikipedia:Lewis Carroll|Lewis Carroll]], and its [[encyclopedia]] entry is an excerpt from the poem. The poem also makes mention of several other unusual creatures such as the jubjub bird and the bandersnatch.
-''Jabberwocky'' was first printed in Carroll's 1871 novel ''[[wikipedia:Through the Looking-Glass|Through the Looking-Glass]]'', the sequel to the 1865 ''[[wikipedia:Alice's Adventures in Wonderland|Alice's Adventures in Wonderland]]'': Alice finds herself in the looking-glass world and encounters the poem as part of a book written in a seemingly unintelligible language; she shortly discovers the text and the world at large is in fact inverted (or mirrored), and holds a mirror to the poem to read it, finding it as puzzling as the odd land she is now in. The poem is also the inspiration for the [[artifact weapon]] Vorpal Blade, based on the unnamed adventurer's weapon that is used to behead the jabberwock.
