pausilypon

Pausilypon is a fictional creature from Lewis Carroll's "Jabberwocky," a poem published in 1871. The creature is described as having a "jaws that bite," "claws that catch," and "eyes that all are yellow." Its name is a nonsense word, reflecting the poem's nonsensical and whimsical nature. The creature is often interpreted as a symbol of the absurdity and unpredictability of life, much like the other nonsensical creatures and events described in the poem. Despite its brief appearance in the poem, Pausilypon has become a popular figure in popular culture, often referenced in discussions about nonsense literature and the works of Lewis Carroll.
