The [[Jabberwocky]] | The [[Jabberwocky]] was a chicken-dragon hybrid. It was believed to be the only one of its kind. It could not be killed by mortal weapons due to its magical nature.{{Bookref|Fates-Arrow}} | ||
The Jabberwocky was created by Gallowmere's court magician [[Mazok the Muddled]], who hoped to produce a giant chicken that could lay eggs the size of a dragon's in order to stave off the [[Famine in Gallowmere|famine]] Gallowmere was suffering under in the late 12th century.
