The term 'Lewis Carroll Creature' refers to a creature created by the English author Lewis Carroll. The most famous of these creatures is the Snark, a five-letter word. The Snark is a creature from Carroll's 1876 poem 'The Hunting of the Snark', which follows a group of adventurers in search of an elusive creature. The Snark is described as a 'BOOJUM', a creature that is both frightening and humorous. The poem is a parody of the traditional hunting narrative, and its characters are often interpreted as symbols for various aspects of life.
