== | ==Story== | ||
It was to feature in a [[The Silver Wood|chase level]] with [[Dan]] pursued by | ===Background=== | ||
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. | |||
Several days later the kingdom had been saved! The hatched chicken-dragon - or Jabberwocky as it came to be known - possessed the ferocity of a dragon and the dim wit of a chicken. It rampaged through the kingdom on a murderous spree and killed so many that even the meagre harvest was enough to sustain the survivors (as they mourned their loved ones). | |||
The Jabberwocky was finally chased from the land by the hero [[Dirk Steadfast]] who poked it with his [[Magic Sword|magic sword]]. | |||
===''[[MediEvil: Fate's Arrow]]''=== | |||
In 1286, one day before the [[Battle of Gallowmere]], the Jabberwocky attacks King Peregrin's Castle and Gallows Town. However, Dan manages to chop its head off using Dirk Steadfast's Magic Shield, ending the attack. | |||
===''MediEvil''=== | |||
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. | |||
