}}The '''Jabberwocky''' was an immortal chicken-dragon hybrid created by a failed magical experiment. Originally chased from the kingdom of [[Gallowmere]] by hero [[Dirk Steadfast]], the Jabberwocky would cross paths several times with [[Sir Daniel Fortesque]], the Hero of Gallowmere. It was last seen falling off a cliffside. | |||

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. | Many years ago, the foolish sorcerer [[Mazok the Muddled]] came into possession of a Dragon Egg.

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> | |||
