The bandersnatch is a deadly hunter which, instead of relying on stealth to subdue its prey, simply overwhelms it with speed and sheer strength. Trappers who work
Abalathia's Spine have, on multiple occasions, claimed witnessing tense, bloody battles between bandersnatches and
wyverns over something as simple as temporary domain over a watering hole—the former oft emerging the victor. For centuries, man has foolishly endeavored to tame the bandersnatch, with most attempts ending at best, in failure, and at worst, in decapitation.
