Description: Bandersnatches are horrific monsters
that stalk Chessboard Four, sometimes solitary,
sometimes in herds. They appear as massive, dirty
ostriches growing to the size of an elephant. Instead
of a bird’s head, from their necks come a single hand
with a vicious mouth in its palm.
The Bandersnatch contains, under its feathers,
human-sized “marionettes” (which, themselves, have
their own intelligences and personalities). These
beings, attached by strings, but capable of their own
movement as well, serve, tend, and gather prey for the
Bandersnatch.
Bandersnatches have uses for humankind. They eat
them, torment them for sport (often depositing them
in the most frightening locals they can find) and
selling them to the Naughts as slaves.
Bandersnatches also serve the Caretakers as
functionaries on the higher Chessboards, from time to
time.
Reflection: Bandersnatches sometimes appear on
Chessboard Zero as large machines (trucks, for
instance) that move through a neighborhood and take
people when no one is watching.
They also extend their hand-heads through mirrors
if something has happened to open the mirror maze.
Sometimes they will release their mannequin servants
into the mirror-maze and have them enter the upper
Chessboards on the other side of the mirrors, waiting
for a time when a projection can open the maze (a
Presence roll) and have the mannequin grab a solitary
target and drag them in!
