The Jabberwock S3 was the first experimental B.O.W. based on the t-Veronica virus to be commercially released on the B.O.W. market, developed by The Organization, an opposing organization of the Umbrella Corporation. 1 2
History
Developed by The Organization following the retrieval of the Veronica virus from the Umbrella Antarctic Base, the Jabberwock S3 is a soldier-class B.O.W. based on the Bandersnatch originally created by Umbrella which was salvaged from Rockfort Island by the Special Forces unit; H.C.F.
As a result of being based on the Bandersnatch, it is a distant off-shoot of the Tyrant. It was created by utilizing the Veronica virus which was retrieved by Albert Wesker from the corpse of Steve Burnside, and the virus greatly enhanced its properties. Javier Hidalgo had purchased several of them from The Organization through Wesker for use in his private army. It is the first known commercial B.O.W. to utilize the Veronica virus, specifically the "t-Alexia" strain.
Attributes
After being injected with the Veronica virus, the Jabberwock S3 arms mutated into the shape of sickles. Its two arms each possess unparalleled strength, along with an additional three similar appendages emerging from its body. In its defensive position it uses these arms to protect its main weak spots as a shield, namely the head and the heart. While in this position, bullets are rendered almost completely useless. While its deadly arms are its main method of attack, the Jabberwock also attacks with its mouth, biting its victims when close enough with its teeth and mandible appendages which surround the mouth. Its skin is as hard as metal, defending it from conventional firearms flawlessly.
It is intelligent enough to understand orders and commands and carry them out under a variety of circumstances, and it accomplishes them in most cases. Appearance-wise, it has a hideous and horrifying appearance and bears a resemblence to a combination of Monster Steve and Nosferatu for the former's body shape and the latter's sickle-like blades. The design on its torso also bears great resemblance to the Bandersnatch. 3
Etymology
"Jabberwock" is derived from, like its Bandersnatch cousin, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson's Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, namely the poem "Jabberwocky". It is a manifestation of the deepest level of fear in the human psyche and it always stands for a large, imaginary, carnivorous medieval beast. It represents all the things a person is afraid of, but cannot put a name to.
