Wandersnatch: Hound of Roses (薔薇の猟犬, Bara no Ryōken?) also known as Meinster's Rose Hound and Monster of the Fog, is one of the Great Three Ploys created by Yumina and utilized in the modern day by Alice Kuonji.[1]
Characteristics[]
Wandersnatch is based on the BandersnatchWP, an original monster from Lewis Carroll's stories. The largest and greatest of the monsters that Alice Kuonji can recreate, a Bounded Field composed of dense fog that can cover a city and a mountain at once. Deep within the fog, beasts with razor-sharp fangs and scarlet claws appear. It cannot be seen, and so it cannot be harmed. Prey who wander into it are thus incapable of resisting or escaping.[2] It seemingly can shapeshift into many different forms, such as a jabberwocky, a massive hunting dog, a lizard (a dragon), multiple maws, pack of wolves, monstrous birds, or a giant version of Alice herself.[2][3]
It is a beast that needs to be fed. It devoured thirty of Touko Aozaki's Automata in minutes.[4] Aoko is disgusted by it as she once encountered it in the Kuonji estate and was "killed a hundred times out of ten".[5] Aoko refers to it as a bounded field of murder. Anyone who touches the fog will instantly go missing, as Wandersnatch does not distinguish between friend or foe. The man-eating fog's jaws enclose any human who wanders into it, without exception. Nobody has ever defeated it.[6] Wandersnatch inhabits Alice's body, as such she always carries it with her.[7][8][9]

Mahoutsukai no Yoru Excerpt A beast of the fog. One of her Great Three Ploys Kickshaw, the Meinster's Rose Hound: Wandersnatch. It was a name carrying immense violence and devastation. Aoko's words stung, since Alice was the one harboring its true form.

Mahoutsukai no Yoru Script Comment by Nasu 有珠の母は有珠を気遣って、なんとしても自分の子である有珠が「三大プロイ（つまり器物）」扱いされるのを避けたかった。だから、有珠以上のプロイを造ろうと躍起になり、橙子の手を借りたのである。
Alice's mother worried deeply about her, and wanted to prevent her child from being treated as 'The Great Three Ploys (in other words, a vessel)' at any cost. That's why she was so frantic to create a Ploy better than Alice, and asked Touko for aid. - ↑
Mahoutsukai no Yoru Script Comment by Nasu 有珠のハラの復元音。ぐちゃりぐちゃり。中身がワンダースナッチ。ＳＡＮ値がみるみる減る
the sound of Alice's belly being restored. Squelching and splatting. Her interior is Wandersnatch. Sanity values go plummeting down.//
有珠の表情が暗いのは青子の勘違いによるもの。青子はワンタースナッチには元になる玩具があると思っているが、ワンダーはそういうものではないので。青子の台詞は「有珠は洋館からでてくるな」というコトになってしまう。
Aoko's misunderstanding is why Alice's expression gets gloomy here. Aoko believes that Wandersnatch has a toy it's based off, but that's not how Wandersnatch works. So Aoko's line comes off as 'Alice, you just shouldn't leave that mansion of yours".
