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. The Jabberwocky proved to be a solution to the famine, albeit in a twisted way; the creature tore a path of destruction through the kingdom, killing much of the population. It was eventually chased out of the kingdom by hero [[Dirk Steadfast]].{{Gameref|MED2019-Bestiary|Jabberwocky}} Years later, the creature plummeted off a high cliffside while chasing [[Sir Daniel Fortesque]] through [[the Silver Wood]]s.{{Gameref|MED|[[9AV]]}} Its ultimate fate is unknown.
