The Jabberwock is a monster that appeared in the poem "Jabberwocky" by Lewis Caroll, author of Alice in Wonderland. It is a fearsome beast that was slain with the Vorpal Sword, and that's all we really know about it.
In Dungeons & Dragons, the Jabberwock appeared in AD&D as a monstrous dragon-like fey creature, debuting in Dragon Magazine #54 for 1st edition, then being updated to 2nd edition in the Monstrous Compendium Appendix Annual Volume 3. It vanished for years after this, but made a comeback in 5e's The Wild Beyond the Witchlight.
In Pathfinder, the Jabberwock is somewhere between a fey elder dragon and an Archfey.
In Warhammer Fantasy, Jabberwocks are monsters associated with the forces of Chaos. They were retconned into being called Jabberslythes in 6th edition.
