One among many archaic nonsense words used in the classic poem "The Jabberwocky" by Lewis Carroll. Could possibly be a monster more horrible than the Jubjub bird.

The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
The extrememly dangerous creature from the survival horror game Resident Evil Code Veronica X. Built to be the multi-purpose tyrant, they are equipped with a singular super strong stretchy arm. (hence the "band" as in bandy in the name bandersnatch) on there right side and have no arm on the left. Get too close they grab your head and crush your skull. Get too far away they will batter you about via stretching their arm. If you hide up/down stairs they will use the arm like a grappling hook to grab hold of an object and pursue. Very slow moving but deadly. Generally in packs of 3 but the occassional singular individual.
Best weapon for extermination: Bow gun with gun-powder tipped arrows. Golden Lugers. (as Steve shows in the game, saving Claire)
A door wall is a sliding-glass door or patio door. The term is yet another example of banal Michigan vernacular, where in the residents latch on to company names, trademark names, marketing terms and product names from local companies. The terms become embedded in the local vocabulary and eventually become accepted as actual valid words and phrases. In this case the term comes from Wallside Windows in Taylor, MI (a large window manufacturer), where 'door wall' is their created word for sliding-glass door.
"Bob! John's gonna bring over them doorwalls from Wallsides on Tuesdee afternoon 'round two-thirty. Get 'er done!"

A person pretending to be something they aren't, or an impostor. This is inferred because of the old alien movies where alien pods appear on earth and the "pod people" dispose of the humans and slowly reproduce the bodies, pretending to be humans.
The pod person was pretending to be my father, but I knew that he was an alien when he acted differently than my father ever would have.
