Legendary Resistance (3/Day). When the jabberwock fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead. It can’t do so against an effect that would sever one of its body parts.

Reactive. The jabberwock can take three reactions per round. It can’t take more than one reaction on the same turn.

Regeneration. The jabberwock regains 20 hit points at the start of its turn. The jabberwock dies only if its head is severed. A creature can sever the jabberwock’s head by dealing 15 slashing damage to it in a single turn while it has 0 hit points.

Vorpal Weakness. While the jabberwocky is bloodied, a roll of 16 or higher with a sword of sharpness or vorpal sword is treated as a 20.

Whiffling Flight. The jabberwock’s flight is clumsy and unpredictable. While the jabberwock is flying it has disadvantage on attack rolls and attack rolls against it have disadvantage.

Manxome Burble. Creatures subject to Jabberwocky’s Burbling Curse can spread the curse to those that hear them. Whenever a creature that was cursed by Jabberwocky speaks, each listener must succeed on a DC 20 Wisdom saving throw or be subject to Burbling Curse. A listener cursed in this way can’t spread the curse any further.

ACTIONS

Multiattack. The jabberwock attacks once with its bite and twice with its claw.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 26 (3d12 + 7) slashing damage. On a critical hit against a creature, the jabberwock’s teeth debilitate a limb until the character completes a long rest or is restored to full hit points. At the Narrator's discretion, the target might suffer a permanent wound that requires the greater restoration spell. For a typical humanoid, roll 1d6: 1–3 arm (preventing the use of that arm to hold items or wear a shield), 4–6 leg (halving the target’s Speed).

Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 20 (3d8 + 7) slashing damage. If the target is a creature, it is grappled (escape DC 21). Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained. The jabberwock can have up to two creatures grappled at a time.

Eyes of Flame (Recharge 5–6). The jabberwock’s gaze ignites everything in a 60-foot cone. Each creature in that area makes a DC 21 Dexterity saving throw, taking 49 (14d6) fire damage on a failed save or half damage on a success.

REACTIONS

Claws that Catch. When a creature escapes the jabberwock’s grapple, the jabberwock makes a claw attack against that creature.

Jaws that Bite. When a creature that the jabberwock can see makes a melee attack against it, the jabberwock makes a bite attack against that creature.

Whiffling Dodge. When the jabberwock would be hit by a ranged attack while it is not flying, it flies up to its speed, imposing disadvantage on the triggering attack.

Eyes of Vengeance. When a creature within 60 feet targets Jabberwocky with a spell or magical effect, or includes Jabberwocky in the area of a spell or magical effect, Jabberwocky immediately recharges and uses Eyes of Flame, including the attacker in its area if possible.

BONUS ACTIONS

Burble. The jabberwock speaks in the magical Jabber language. Each creature within 30 feet of the jabberwock that can hear it and that doesn’t speak Jabber makes a DC 20 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, the creature is subjected to a burbling curse. While cursed, half the words the creature speaks are replaced with words in the Jabber language. Each time the creature speaks, casts a spell with a vocalized component, or uses an effect that requires listeners to understand its words, the creature must roll a d20. On a roll of 1–9, the speech is unintelligible or the spell or effect is wasted. The creature repeats the saving throw whenever it finishes a long rest, ending the curse on a success. If a creature’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, it is immune to Burble for 24 hours.
