This allowed the Red Queen to not only gain the crown and control of the land but secure the Vorpal Sword (the only thing that can harm or kill the Jabberwocky). The Jabberwocky is referenced throughout the film, but does not appear until the Frabjous Day, in which it was sent by its mistress to fight Alice during the war. The battle between the two lasted until the two reached the last tower on the battlefield and the Jabberwocky met defeat when Alice beheaded the beast, with Alice saying "Off with ''your ''head!" With the creature dead, the Red Queen's soldiers immediately lay down their arms, as without the Jabberwocky to enforce her demands, they no longer fear what she may do to them. The Jabberwocky's blood was then used by the White Queen to transport Alice back to London. |

| − | * While the Jabberwock does not appear in the classic animated 1951 Disney movie, he was planned to, voiced by Stan Freberg. The scene was axed fairly late in the game. An illustration of his intended appearance does appear in a Little Golden Books storybook with record. His role seemed fairly non-antagonistic. He would have had eyes that burned, a stovepipe-like nose, orange hair and a third hand on the end of his tail. The Cheshire Cat recites the classic poem when he first appears. |

| − | * [[File:1985-Jabberwocky.png|thumb|The Jabberwock as it appears in the 1985 film.]]The Jabberwock appeared in the [[Alice in Wonderland (1985)|1985 film]] as a brown dragon with a horn, long spikes from his head to his neck and yellow wings. It first appeared in [[Alice]]'s house when the room becomes dark after she recited the Jabberwocky poem. Alice wishing it to go away, the Jabberwock disappears. But since it is a creation of Alice's own fears, it appears again after Alice knocks [[Humpty Dumpty]] off the wall. When Alice participates at a feast inside the castle, she opens a present which the Jabberwock comes out, therefore frightening and terrorizing everyone. [[The White Knight]] tries to stop it from harming Alice, but fails. The Jabberwock finally appears in her house, when it disappears completely after Alice doesn't believe in it anymore. |

It was voiced by [[Christopher Lee]]. It appears as a black dragon, very similar to the original Tenniel illustration, with six limbs: four legs and two wings. It speaks in a low voice, and has a forked, snake-like tongue (it may also have a corresponding Jacobson's organ, from the movements of the tongue in the film), as well as forward-facing red eyes. He also breathes a blast of purple lightning which can even obliterate someone as shown on a [[The White Knight|White Knight]]. It is the [[The Red Queen|Red Queen]]'s champion and prepares to fight [[Alice]]. It says that the [[Vorpal Sword]] is its ancient enemy, hinting that another hero used the vorpal sword before Alice. Alice cuts off its tongue, but counterattacks with a tail swipe. The Jabberwocky gains the upper advantage, but [[The Mad Hatter|Tarrant]] interferes by poking its tail with his sword which leads the armies in battle. The Jabberwocky chases Alice on ruins. As Alice reaches the top, the Jabberwocky catches up to her, but trips which allows Alice to get on its neck. The Jabberwocky throws Alice into the air, and while Alice is falling, she cuts off its head, killing the beast. |

His lair is a replica of Alice's burning house. He kills the [[The Gryphon|Gryphon]], only to be defeated by [[Alice]].

At any opportunity, the player must hit its head to deplete its health. When its first bar is depleted, the Jabberwock smashes Alice's tower and flings her onto its tail. It then inhales heavily to try and swallow the player by pulling them across the arena. At this point, the player must use the Cheshire Cat to vanish a piece of the destroyed tower. He/she must run behind it before making it reappear - the Jabberwocky will continue to inhale until it accidentally knocks the tower piece into itself and depletes another bar completely. Alice is then flung onto the Jabberwocky's back, but the Red Queen opens a vortex which will consume Alice if she falls. The player must fight the Jabberwocky again using the first method except with a time limit saying how long until Alice falls. When the third bar is depleted, Alice falls from the Jabberwocky's back and lands on another already-broken tower. The player must then once again use the Cheshire Cat to trick the Jabberwocky. When this final bar is depleted, the Jabberwocky roars and bats Alice upwards with its tail; as Alice falls, she uses the Vorpal Sword to strike the Jabberwocky and kill it. |
