Giant Nightmares like the Jabberwock will spawn in Breakstorms, and there are a couple of areas that have a chance to spawn the Jabberwock.
Your best bet for getting the encounter will be heading to the Breakstorm found to thevery north of Opal Hills, going slightly to theeast side of the top of the area.
