Message: <blockquote data-quote="Vicar In A Tutu" data-source="post: 5264033" data-attributes="member: 26968">Inspired by this cover to a new Pathfinder book, as well as the classic illustration by John Tenniel, I started thinking about the jabberwock in my campaign world. (Although I play 4E, I hope this brainstorming-session can be useful to people who play other editions as well.) I have always loved The Dragon of Tyr from Darksun, especially how it is just refered to as "The Dragon". It is mysterious, powerful, and seems to be the centrepiece of many that world's secrets. I started thinking that The Jabberwock (singular, there is only one) could be a similar creature, but instead located in The Feywild. Indeed, the Pathfinder version seems to hail from The First World (which I believe is the PF-version of The Feywild or Fey), but in PF there are many Jabberwocks, just like there are many dragons.  (If there are many Jabberwocks, I just got the idea that eladrin knights could hunt Jabberwocks just like "human" knights in the mundane world hunt dragons: it is the ultimate acheivement of a human knight to slay a dragon, and the same for an eladrin knight to slay a jabberwock.)Any suggestions as to what The Jabberwock's motivation(s) is/are? Is it intelligent, or just a mindless ravager? Is it a deity, can it be worshipped? Is it one of the first dragons, cursed by the gods and transformed? Does it love riddles and poetry, having a love for bards and music? (Maybe singing to a Jabberwock is the ultimate acheivement for a bard, like an eladrin knight slaying it.) In PF/3E, the Jabberwock could maybe be weakened if a character were to make a great performance check against it, singing, dancing, etc. Is it evil, good, chaotic neutral?Any ideas?</blockquote>
