The jabberwock, J, is a monster in NetHack (originating from the poem Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll). It hits very hard and can catch unwary adventurers off guard with its extremely high damage, but can be killed in one hit with the help of Vorpal Blade.

Jabberwocks are occasionally enlisted as steeds due to their potential for causing damage.

The Jabberwock is currently the only member of the J jabberwock monster class, sharing it only with the deferred feature J vorpal jabberwock.

SLASH'EM has implemented the J vorpal jabberwock

Fighting Jabberwocks

Jabberwocks are considered kebabable, able to be skewered, and you receive a +2 to-hit bonus when using a weapon that uses the spear or javelin skills.
