 ==History==
-===Background===
+===Creation===
 Many years ago, the foolish sorcerer [[Mazok the Muddled]] came into possession of a Dragon Egg. At the same time, Gallowmere was suffering under a terrible famine, and Mazok had been ordered by his [[King Peregrin|king]] to seek out a magical solution. 'If only the kingdom's scrawny chickens could lay eggs the size of a dragon egg', thought Mazok, and he set about applying his questionable skills to transform the egg.

 The Jabberwocky was finally chased from the land by the hero Dirk Steadfast who poked it with his [[Magic Sword|magic sword]].

-In 1386, Dan encounters the Jabberwocky at the [[Mystic Maidens]] after escaping from [[the Haunted Ruins]]. The Jabberwocky then chases Dan through [[the Silver Wood]]s until Dan is cornered at a cliff. Just as the Jabberwocky is about to reach him, Dan is saved by a [[vulture]]. The Jabberwocky plummets over the cliff edge, its fate unknown.

+Originally, the Jabberwocky was to feature in a [[The Silver Wood|chase level]] with [[Dan]] being pursued by it. The level map and Jabberwocky model can be found in the ''[[MediEvil ECTS Pre-Alpha]]''. However, the chase itself has not been implemented by the time of this version. Snippets of a functional version of this level can be seen in one of the game's trailers. The level was replaced with the 9AV FMV.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://web.archive.org/web/20080321020515/http://www.atomic-city.co.uk/pages/artwork/Medievil_gallery/medievil_morten_concept_design.htm|title=''MediEvil'' concept design|site=atomic-city}} Archived at the [http://archive.org/web/ Wayback Machine Internet Archive].</ref>
