@Plot: Yes! I always wanted to see a reference to Lewis Caroll. Are the stripes and coloring inspired by the Cheshire Cat?
Kind of. The Jabberwock has no true description (and a reluctant illustration) so I decided to come up with something original that looked very Lewis-esque. Although I didn't inspire the colors and stripes specifically on the Cheshire Cat, you could say there is a little of him there.
The creature itself is also not
really what it looks like. It is not a griffon even though it looks hybrid, not a lizard even though it has scales, not a dragon even though it has dragon wings, not a wyvern even though it's bipedal, and not a bird even though it has a beak and feathers.
It's supposed to look like a nonsensical mish-mash of things, just like the poem is.
Caroll's work plays a somewhat significant role on my project's plot, so you can expect more of his creatures to appear as Dracula's underlings. Perhaps even the Cheshire Cat himself.
Awesome stuff. Also a nice scale for a dragon.
...a *not-dragon
