Jabberwock

In Roger Zelazny's Second Chronicles of Amber, he has a little fun with Carroll's poem. The character Luke is dosed with LSD, which causes his Shadow walking power to drag him (and Merlin with him) into the trippy Shadows. A jabberwock makes an appearance, and there is a bit of other Wonderland stuff going on.

The Jabberwock, as mentioned above, was a dragon-like creature mentioned in a poem in Through the Looking Glass. This monstrosity also appears in American McGee's Alice. He works for the Queen of Hearts, and is a thoroughly sadistic and hateful creature.

His torso is a furnace, his eyes are quite literally like burning coals, and his wings are metal. He embodies the fire which killed Alice's family and started her on this mad quest, and he physically and verbally berates Alice for abandoning her family to save herself during the conflagration. He attacks by spitting fire, swinging his claws, or shooting searing death rays from his eyes. In short, he is *nasty*.

The Jabberwock's eye is one of the components needed to power the Jabberwock's Eyestaff, one of the most powerful weapons in the game.
