Jabberwocky

Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
  Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
  And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
  The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
  The frumious Bandersnatch!"



-Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll




I am not sure he's quite the giant dragon monster that Carroll was describing, but I have taken to calling my Smaller Child the Jabberwocky because he is a-jabberin' up a storm, and because it's cute.
