Related: About this forum“Beware the Jabberwock, my friends! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!" ~Alice in Wonderland
Our mysterious creature, the Jabberwock as it were, has successfully slain an OP that spoke of this benign beast, albeit an OLDER ONE:
It then ran through still another OP, which merely proclaimed the decree by "the peers of the realm" about the original one.
SAFETY FIRST, COMRADES. STOP, LOOK and LISTEN:
Beware the Jabberwock. The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun the frumious Bandersnatch!" ~Lewis Carroll, "Through the Looking Glass"
Alice finds the nonsense as puzzling as the odd land she has passed into, later revealed as a dreamscape, also known as Down the Rabbit Hole or Underground Wonderland.

They ARE amazing creatures...I'd have one as a pet, if I didn't live in a big city flat!

Well, the "Jabberwock" was so terrified of them that he lashed out to destroy an OP

As you can see, I had to use veiled language and code words to escape the wrath of the dreaded Jabberwock.
