Wasn't in T2 a mention of bandersnatches (Casing the Joint or Masks?). I was looking from Wikipedia information about jabberwock and found this:
'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!'
(This could be thrown into Pagan scrolls anytime!)
Bandersnatch – A swift moving creature with snapping jaws. Capable of extending its neck. (From The Hunting of the Snark.)
Should somehow be involved with 'Through The Looking Glass, And What Alice Found There'. Never thought this before...

Could be in one of Gervaisius' diaries about his hunting trips witth Bafford. Look either in his bedroom or the trophy-room.

I believe one of the Final Fantasy games happens to have a creature called a Bandersnatch... they depict it as a large wolf or dog.

Resident Evil - Code Veronica has them if you remember, with long stretchy arms. Bloody pain in the arse they were.

Nope it's not Gervaisius's hunting trip story.
The story about the Bandersnatch is in the diary of Rufus T. Spaulding, in the Trophy Room.
Hilarious read ;)
I've wrote it all down, you can read it here:

For Gervaisius's Hunting trip with Bafford: Mission 14, Number 27
Isn't it possible for a dromeder to create this creature in dromed with help of the description?
I would love to see it come to life :cheeky:

A wee bit too recognisable, dontchathink? There aren't many (modern, english) poems more famous than that.

I love that poem. It scared me as a child.

Then, of course, there is the Python movie "Bandersnatch". :)

Jabberwocky.
How do you manage to do that EVERY time?
And it's not a Monty Python movie anyway... no more than Yellowbeard or Time Bandits or 12 Monkeys or The Missionary is.
