The jabberwock hails from the fey realm of the First World and is part of a group of powerful __First World__ creatures known collectively as the Tane. Like all members of the Tane, jabberwocks are living creatures that age, eat, drink, and sleep, but do not reproduce normally. Instead, they are created directly by the godlike Eldest who rule the First World, and they serve at the pleasure (or frustration) of these capricious and mysterious entities. Believed to be the most powerful of all the Tane, jabberwocks are typically only ever created with one purpose: to wreak destruction and havoc upon the Material Plane. One of the Eldest might send a jabberwock to devastate a country, continent, or even entire world in order to get revenge for some slight made against them by a single mortal. Sometimes, no specific insult or injury is required, as some of the Eldest resent the very existence of the Material Plane and periodically create jabberwocks simply to express the wrath of the First World against its younger and less chaotic sibling. Once a jabberwock arrives on the Material Plane, its first order of business is to seek out a lair. It prefers dwelling in remote forest locations about a day''s flight from civilization—the more dangerous the woodland is to those who might eventually come hunting it, the better! The relationship between jabberwocks and __vorpal__ weapons is the subject of much debate and speculation among scholars, and the various poems, songs, and legends about the jabberwock do little to clarify the issue, conflicting and diverging on this point. Some believe that vorpal weapons were first created specifically to combat jabberwocks, but others take the story one step further. They cite evidence in certain ancient myths that there may once have been only a single, unique jabberwock, so powerful that nothing could so much as scratch it—nothing, that is, except for the first vorpal sword, crafted for that very purpose. So epic was the resulting battle that it created strange echoes throughout reality, and as a result, these echoes, in the form of vorpal weapons, can now be found on many worlds. Those who subscribe to this belief claim that the jabberwocks seen today are but pale imitations of this proto-jabberwock, and they speculate that only the combined efforts of several Eldest would be sufficient to create such a creature again.' hp: 500 hp_misc: regeneration 25 (deactivated by vorpal weapons) immunities: - paralyzed - sleep languages: - Aklo - Common - Draconic - Gnomish - Sylvan level: 23 melee_attacks: - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: 4d12+19 type: piercing name: jaws plus_damage: null to_hit: 42 traits: - deadly 2d12 - magical - reach 15 feet - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: 4d8+19 type: slashing name: claw plus_damage: - formula: null type: Improved Grab to_hit: 42 traits: - agile - magical - reach 15 feet - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: 4d10+19 type: bludgeoning name: tail plus_damage: - formula: null type: Improved Knockdown to_hit: 42 traits: - magical - reach 15 feet - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: 4d8+19 type: bludgeoning name: wing plus_damage: null to_hit: 40 traits: - magical - agile - reach 15 feet name: Jabberwock perception: 40 ranged_attacks: - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: null type: 10d6 fire name: eyes of flame plus_damage: - formula: null type: 4d6 persistent fire to_hit: 42 traits: - fire - magical - range increment 60 feet rarity: Rare resistances: - amount: 20 misc: null type: fire saves: fort: 39 fort_misc: null misc: null ref: 37 ref_misc: null will: 40 will_misc: null sense_abilities: - action_cost: None critical_failure: null critical_success: null description: The jabberwock always treats the plane it is currently located on as its home plane. effect: null failure: null frequency: null full_description: null generic_description: null maximum_duration: null name: Planar Acclimation range: null raw_description: '**Planar Acclimation** The jabberwock always treats the plane it is currently located on as its home plane.' requirements: null saving_throw: null stages: null success: null traits: null trigger: null senses: - darkvision - scent 120 feet - true seeing size: Huge skills: - bonus: 40 misc: null name: Acrobatics - bonus: 44 misc: null name: Athletics - bonus: 41 misc: null name: Intimidation - bonus: 38 misc: null name: Nature - bonus: 40 misc: null name: Survival sources: - abbr: Bestiary 2 page_start: '150' page_stop: null speed: - amount: 35 misc: null type: Land - amount: 60 misc: null type: fly spell_lists: - attack_bonus: null cantrips: null constants: - level: 10 spells: - misc: null name: true seeing dc: 43 focus_points: null misc: null spell_lists: null spells_source: Primal Innate Spells traits: - Dragon - Tane weaknesses: - amount: 20 misc: null type: vorpal weapons - amount: null misc: null type: vorpal fear
