The Jabberwock S3 was a prototype B.O.W. (Bio Organic Weapon) developed by the rival company of the Umbrella Corporation through the use of the t-Veronica virus to strengthen the characteristics of a human host. 1 2
History
After the successful recovery of the corpse of Steve Burnside containing t-Veronica, the rival company of Umbrella immediately applied the virus to B.O.W. development. The Jabberwock S3 was a prototype created in the process of this research and was heavily influenced by Umbrella's own Bandersnatch B.O.W., which was created with the goal of a product which favored low-cost over perfection with enhanced versatility. As a result, the Jabberwock S3 is a distant sub-species of the Tyrant B.O.W. Several were purchased from the rival company by Javier Hidalgo.
Attributes
The Jabberwock S3 bore physical characteristics reminiscent of the Nosferatu and Monster Steve with a horrifying appearance. After being injected with t-Veronica, the host grew in size due to a sudden increase in growth hormone and its skin changed to a dark green, while its arms mutated into the shape of sickles. Additionally, it grew three additional arms, but two were vestigial in nature and served no purpose. Its main three arms were significantly strengthened and transformed into sickle-like shapes with strength and intensity at the same level as steel, able to neutralize bullets.
In addition, lack of head protection, one of the Bandersnatch's faults, was corrected through the creature wrapping its arms around its entire body. The creature also attacked by biting victims with its distended mouth, which possessed mandible-like growths. It possessed a sufficient level of intelligence to understand commands and accomplish them under a variety of circumstances. Due to its prototype status, it still harbored a fatal weak point in the form of an exposed heart. 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.
