The '''vorpal jabberwock''' is a [[:Category:UnNetHack monsters|monster]] in [[UnNetHack]], derived from the [[deferred feature]] in NetHack. It is a more powerful [[jabberwock]]. They possess two [[Instadeath|beheading]] attacks; each successful hit it lands has a {{frac|40}} chance of beheading you, killing you instantly. If you are polymorphed into a jabberwock or vorpal jabberwock, ''any'' hit from a vorpal jabberwock will behead you.
 
 
 
Polymorphing into a headless or [[amorphous]] form protects you from its beheading attacks, as does [[Cancellation|cancelling]] the vorpal jabberwock. [[Vorpal Blade]] always beheads vorpal jabberwocks.

{{encyclopedia| "Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
 
  The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
 
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
 
  The frumious Bandersnatch!"
 
 
 
He took his vorpal sword in hand;
 
  Long time the manxome foe he sought --
 
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
 
  And stood awhile in thought.
 
 
 
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
 
  The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
 
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
 
  And burbled as it came!
 
 
 
One, two! One, two! And through and through
 
  The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
 
He left it dead, and with its head
 
  He went galumphing back.|[ Jabberwocky, by Lewis Carroll ]
