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 are sure to be killed in one hit by Vorpal Blade.
Jabberwocks are occasionally enlisted as steeds due to their potential for causing damage. They can also fly.
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
