This is a jabberwock with green-spotted mauve chitin and fiery compound eyes. Hir long, segmented tail is tipped with a wicked barb, gleaming as
perhaps with venom. Hir species, though obscure, is noted among the cognoscenti on account of its jaws that bite and claws that catch, as well as
its overall uffish disposition. Sie has a tracery of sparkling light within and around hir. Sie looks about twenty-three and a half dimins tall,
five and seventeen twentieths dimins wide and seventeen and a half dimins long. Sie is in good shape.
You find a weakness in the green-spotted mauve jabberwock's head.

Lewis Carroll
(from Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, 1872)
Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!"
He took his vorpal sword in hand: Long time the manxome foe he sought -- So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back.
"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy.
`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.
