Cut a tarrasque into two perfect halves. grow a second tarrasque. Ignore Ian Malcom's warnings, realize they can now mate, cause tarrasic park.
I assume that since D&D canonically has souls, this wouldn't work. Only one half would inhabit the creature's soul and grow back and the other half would stay dead.
I have a plan to perma-kill the tarrasque. Defeat the tarrasque, remove its stomach, convert it into a flesh golem. Keep stuffing chunks into the stomach golem until it is dead. Since the stomach is now a golem, it does not become a tarrasque.
You did it. You crazy son of a bitch, you did it.
Venser's Prodigy
1. charm monster
2. make it stand in a certain place
3. use move earh at the highest level to insantly move lots of earth directly underneath it, above it.
4. it falls, taking loads of damage, then loads of earth falling on it for double that damage,
5. its now dead and trapped in the earth.
6. if its limbs are destroyed, they cant grow back because the earth is in the way.

-Living being have spikes and armour to defend themselves from predators
-The Tarrasque has spikes and armour
-There's something somewhere that can eat a Tarrasque
The scary thought...
remember what he said about why the tarrasque is the only living thing of it kind? maybe the tarrasque have those spike and armor because it was for fighting, killing, and eating other tarrasque
Exactly!
Maxime Fourton interesting idea
Well, take the eldest of Dragons. They're of a size or possibly larger then a Tarrasque. A flight of them could, theoretically, kill and eat a Tarrasque. How many of them would die in the doing is the question...
Spines are found in nature to protect against predators eating them whole.
The Tarrasque is heavily spined.
...think about that.
Well
Shit
Oooooooh.
Well to all who encountered such a creature f.
You just fucked my mind
They are prismatic and force dragons which can swallow a taraque

And then Tarrasque got bored, created his own kingdom, changed his name to Bowser, and became mortal enemy with a certain plumber.
Now it makes sense how he constantly survives everything!

It’s all coming together now
JP do Ó Fuck you and how much this is possible.
Bowser wishes he was strong enough to be a tarrasque. at best the tarrasque busted a nut one day and a sperm regenerated into Bowser... actually that'd be an interesting plot hook. the tarrasque is upset that it doesn't have a mate, it tries fucking a mountain and the sperm forms micro tarrasques.
And this is why I main Bowser in SSBU
I remember running across this beast in the monster manual. I asked my DM, what's this? He said " You don't want no part of that, turn the page.". lol
Smart DM.
Give this beast a goodberry to calm him down. Gather up a small squadron of magical buddies (10-20ish. Or just chain simulacrum if your doing rules as written). Group spam polymorph til he fails the saving throw. Cast power word kill on the polymorphed torrasque. Cast wish. Done.

Great Way to Explain
I'm hearing a lot of words that mean "infinite Tarrasque hide armor"
1. Use wish spell to turn Terrasque into really small baby
2. Shuck his shell every once in a while
3. Profit

@@esteban8471 oh yeah that too
@@pungoblin9377 Equtaras might not get you profitable merchandise, but they're a *lot* easier to deal with and less likely to attack you and everything in sight like a Tarrasque who just turned into a baby. They're also cuter.
As a monster hunter player, let me tell you a tale of why that is a horrible idea.
Tl:dr we have a regenerating monster whose armor grows into a new member of its species woth the armor wearer inside, which could easily happen with tarrasque armor
So basically, theres this big dragon monster called fatalis, hes the strongest monster in the series, with some striking similarities to the tarrasque now that i think about it. But one of those similarities is the whole regeneration thing. Theres this piece of lore that pretty much states that anyone who wears armor made from a fatalis will have ot regenerate all over them, drovong them insane and eventually getting sealed inside the armor. Once someone is sealed in the armor fully, the person disappears and a new fatalis pops up a few days later.
2:22 *reads abilities*
So essentially, its abilities are:
"I win even if I lose because I said so."
"I'm more likely to win the thing that, as stated before, I will win even if I lose."
'It's not enough that I should succeed. Others should fail."
"I break building."
And it could and technically should be stronger
Give this beast a goodberry to calm him down. Gather up a small squadron of magical buddies (10-20ish). Group spam polymorph til he fails the saving throw. Cast power word kill on the polymorphed torrasque. Cast wish. Done.

You actually can cut your way out from it's stomach, though I guess that is assume you are still in the first one.
Well played
It's been revealed the Rime of the Frostmaiden will include a new magic scroll. A _Scroll of Tarrasque Summoning._ You don't control it, you just summon one nearby and it doesn't stop rampaging until it hits 0 hit points.
I guess "Scroll of Instant Suicide" wasn't catchy enough.

@@Blade.5786 genius... but i would be more afraid of what the DM would pull as payback for this warcrime

Honestly it sounds like Tarrasque just balances out wizards. Just think about spells like goodberry or create water. Wizards create all sort of mass. The Tarrasque just eats the excess mass magic creates.

Except how there's an entire planet of them in Spelljammer.
Wait what
@@xxNightxTrainxx Yarp, can confirm. Spelljammer was an AD&D setting that unified all the different settings. It focused on the ethereal stuff between the various realms, settings, etc, kind of D&D's "space". They keep teasing it being still a thing in 5E, too.
An entire planet of nothing but THE ultimate lifeform.
Combination of different settings and/or universes, each one presumably having its own Tarrasque that all ended up on the planet.
Is that a JoJo reference?
To be fair the Tarrasques on that planet are passive and peaceful for the most part
@@devilboysix66 That's only because they already ate everything else. After a couple of minor brawls that only resulted in regeneration, they all shrugged and made peace.
Tarrasque: I fear no man but that thing.
(5th edition and clay golems)
Tarrasque: It scares me.
Don't forget having magic users trying to change it with Polymorph. It can die with Power Word Kill if the new shape has less than 100 health.
If I ever make a terrasque I will have it with the ability to ignore immunitys not resistance just immunity so something like a clay golem can't defeat it also probably a kind of rock throwing attack and some burrowing speed
Im still new to d&d.....¿isn't a clay golem basically an object animated by magic? In that case wouldn't the tarrasque be able to destroy it by swallowing it(since the lore, or at least this video, says it destroys any kind of magic)
You nerds are thinking too small, get to level 30 (requires some mild homebrewing plus serious dedication since levels aren’t SPECIFICALLY capped but it’s just not acknowledged past 20) and have a Wizard True Polymorph you into a Tarrasque. Add Permanence+Enlarge beforehand for bonus bigness.
And profit.
Nifty idea for a BBEG/Tarrasque encounter, that the Tarrasques in all these worlds was actually created, not just having been there, and using this method you create your world’s very first Tarrasque - who promptly devours everything because hungry stupid lizard
As for how the tales of Tarrasques spread, idfk, interplanar talk happens so often so why not multiverse theory that shit up
"In the middle stomach everything breaks down" Bruh, I broke down when my DM said it's fuckin' name!
You know what really amazes me about the Tarrasque? That after all of these years of it being the ultimate monster we still don't have an official miniature of it!

I agree with almost everything but near the end, the dwarves not making a scale sheild for free.... the reward of a dwarf to be able to work with tarrasque scales would honor their clan for generations. They would probably pay you for the chance to prove they are master workmen.
They probably won't just go out and try to kill Tarrasque for free though

@@halfjack2758 It's sort of the old "I buy, you fly" deal, where you buy the meal and your buddy drives to get it.
We go kill it, they make the shields. Everyone happy, no money needed.
I understand that the manual lists all the cool stuff the tarrasque carapace should yield...
But...
This thing dies so rarely that finding a dwarf or dwarves with any knowledge whatsoever of what the fuck those scales are or what to do with them should itself be an entire campaign. Properly, you should take the components, IF you knew what all to harvest, to a major dwarven city, earn the trust of their king or queen, do 10 quests to earn the favor of their smithing guild so they even look at the remains, then they, and you participate in a 5 day ritual of drugs, liquid mithril, and ecstatic prayer to Moradin to determine how to forge the scales, and THEN the shields get made, with maybe a dozen skill checks required to make them, and at the end, if it was successful, they keep one shield, you get bathed in goat milk by a gaggle of dwarven tit mistresses and given home, title, and a spouse in the hold, and a holiday named after you.
@@kiltedcripple that is a very, _very_ specific scenario
Just pointing this out: majority of tarrasque art has outward facing spines. Which is a defensive mechanism for prey. Keeping that in mind that means there’s something larger than the tarrasque
Game Idea: A party of lvl 20 adventurers have found the secrets to slaying the Tarrasque. This party goes around as heroes and always seems to know where the Tarrasque spawns because of their unique scrying abilities created by one of 2 of their lvl 20 wizards (some sort of op ritual exists that only they know about (supposedly)). Your party (the one you're dming for) learns that they aren't actually scrying but instead wishing in the next place that it will regenerate/ pop up on the surface. In this way they use the Tarrasque to farm hella money and hecka amounts of prestige but at the cost of millions and millions of lives, with the risk that one day they might not be able to defeat the Tarrasque. The party you're dming for then has to wish for the regeneration to stop, defeat the party of lvl 20 adventurers and then get rid of the Tarrasque permanently. (Could be a one-shot of lvl 20 party that found this out based on some insane guy theory crafting about the scrying abilities (make it some sort of nerdy yet low level wizard that sounds crazy but actually makes perfect sense) and then go from there) (OR you could have this be a starting point in a random campaign and then once the party reaches level 20 you bring up for the 2000th time that the Tarrasque slaying party has killed them yet again in some other place when suddenly they're stopped by a recurring NPC who acts like the theory crafting guy in the first point).

Horrendous mistake. Where in the abyss?? Demogorgon's throne room?? Orcus's walking city??? Rest assured that wherever the tartasque appears, someone very powerful will be in charge nearby, and will be VERY angry, and will very much love to know who is responsible for this fun incursion into their realm. Vengeance will be certain, what is most definitely not certain however, is what form said vengeance will take, or whether or not it will be a survivable ordeal. Most likely not actually, not many characters survive a surprise trip to the abyss, where they encounter a rampaging tarrasque, and the likewise rampaging lord of that abyssal layer. Plus it's armies of demons, and greater demons. Can you even imagine seeing the tarrasque, and a group of 20 balor's, plus their minions going at it?? Much less the other things that are certain to be there, and just as certain to be beyond mad??

Any layer of the abyss has basically unlimited numbers of all varieties of demons. Each layer is infinite in all directions.
@@faintsmile_1 More like one arch demon and its limitless swarm armies of demons would suffice to imprison it immobile somehow with abyssal magic and they wouldn't care about killing it, they would be content to injure it for eternity. They would like that it regenerates quickly, that means they don't have to heal it themselves to continually torture it. Yeah, demons do that type of shit. So do devils. EDIT: Read Elminster in hell. That will give you an idea of how hopeless it is for even deities like mystra to survive for more than a few hours on even the weakest layer of the abyss, Yes any layer of the abyss is just as hopeless as any layer of hell. At any point in time limitless demons can burst forth from the very floors and ceilings. It's quite expected that unlimited balors with retinue's of demons can and will burst forth from anywhere just for the fact something dares to be there. Even worse, what if it happens to to be a layer that is an infinite ocean of boiling blood, swimming with demons immune to the heat, that all regenerate themselves innately, or a layer of demon insect swarms, perhaps even a layer of acid oceans, demons swimming in the acid, all immune to acid and possible everything else, and all regeneration capable themselves, and the skies swarming with flying horrors that never need to land or rest?? How long would it last against a swarm queen and her legion of demon wasps??? How would it fare to the rotting touch of the tentacles of the great two headed demon lord?? Tarrasque is powerful, but the abyss is limitless in every possible way. It is doom to enter hell or the abyss for even gods.
Imagine mining into some rock deep underground and you accidentally hit the Tarrasque in the eye, waking it up

@@PlanetZoidstar I actually don’t think GER could beat the tarasque, or tusk act 4, GER can reset anything to zero, but really doesn’t have much offensive potential more so than it’s normal form, so while giorno couldn’t die, he couldn’t hurt the tarasque fast enough to kill it. And tusk act 4 uses an attack that may do infinate damage but still needs to hit its opponents to activate, and the tarasques skin is reflective to many spells that shoot similarly to the infinate rotation. So really Johnny cannot activate his power and giorno cannot hurt the tarasque enough to do more damage than it’s regeneration effect. Kars can turn into any creature that exists naturally but the tarasque isn’t really natural, it would be like saying he can turn into celestials, devils and demons, they are living things but they aren’t really from the same dimension so they wouldn’t really count as things he can transform into.

I do have to contradict one point. In The Forgotten Realms of Fearun, yes there is only one. In Ebberon, there is only one. It seems in each crystal sphere there is only one of these guys but in the spelljammer setting there is actually a planet with multiple Tarrasque that many theorize is the homeworld of these monstrosities. Now, that just creates more questions if it is true but there is certainly more than one in the mutliverse. Still great video and I love that detail of the diamonds beneath its shell.
combine this with the distinctly prey animal features of the tarrasque and learn where to send kronos when he breaks out.

We took care of one in our campaign by using a wish spell to make it permanantly incorporial and ephemeral. It is existed, and still could be seen, but it was harmless. It became a reminder of the mage who sacrificed his life casting the wish.
My group didn't kill him.....they managed to send him to Ravenloft....but it sucked them in too...didn't go well at all
your sacrifice will not be forgotten
I had a ring of three wishes that I used to teleport the Terrarasque into Hell.... along with our parties Fighter who was atop it’s body cleaving it’s head.... he wasn’t very happy
@@isaiahryan9123 You should had teleported him to the abyss. It would be funny seeing a tarrasque being corrupted by the plane.
@@sexy_bugbear8957 Oh WOW, man! A corrupted Tarrasque!
Now that's some outside the box DMing right there.
If you did this, you would definitely have to bring the thing back when they were high enough a level to handle it.
Don't think the powers would except the Tarrasque being there for very long. Remember Ravenloft exists for a purpose and the Tarrasque is not a part of that purpose.
You did it you absolute madman you made the scariest monster even more terrifying. Thanks ✌
F for the hypothetical dwarf that hurt it with a pickaxe
MrRhexx: *Sees retcon in the latest edition*
MrRhexx: "This was omitted!"
If it is not explicitly denied, it is not a retcon, all editions follow the same continuity and canon, only in different stages of time.
So TLDR: Dwarves dug too deep again.
but a Tarrasque isnt bipedal (or is it actually? bah idk anymore XD)... tbh I would prefer a Balrog being its own thing (if it isnt already... would be a Pit Fiend count as the D&D analog to the Balrog?)
The Balor is, as evidenced not only by it's similar name, but it's mane of fire, fire sword, appearance, and a whip.
@@S.k.y.n.e.t. yeah kinda hard to overlook the similiarities between the two but didnt want to jump to conclusions since a Balor is a demon from Irish folklore also.
@@gblakney1 A Balor demon is essentially a balrog with sword and whip and the overall look except the balrog looks naturally armored instead of actual flesh
Actually, because of Tolkien bullshit royalties. See, Hobbit became Halfling, Mithril became Mithral, etc.
I like how no one NEVER says that a tarrasque can breathe underwater
Like, there are adventurers who just killed throwing it in the plane of water and the guy can hunt underwater?
I think it was just assumed it could since if it rose to the surface at the bottom of the ocean, what would happen, it just dies? It kind of needs that.
It regenerates it's suffocation.

Yeah, after this video I understand that name more. Shame these domt regrow indefinitely, it would make the campaign much easier
Love the passion and effort you put into this. It’s awesome!!
The tarrasque ground glides and accidently noclips into the backrooms
I've only played DnD once (not enough friends) but just hearing the lore is so cool
Internet dnd with internet friends
So recently when we were trying to find a solution to some weird magic being cast on the town we were staying in i said my idea to destroy the spell.
"A Tarrasque."
That sounds like throwing the baby out with the bathwater. (Which I'm sure is the joke, but I can imagine that wasn't too funny for some of your party.)
You were thinking to send a cataclysm over a puny mission? What are you? Only neutral?
"No Tim, we have not reached the Tarrasque Threshold quite yet".
Legend has it that once every few years Chuck Norris emerges from his slumber to feed upon the Tarrasque.
That's why it has spikes!
Nothing can escape the three stomaches, besides dealing 60 damage to it while your inside of it BUT WE DON’T TALK ABOUT THAT.
Nothing not nobody
I headcanon that the previous Tarrask were digest inside this one. So that the only thing that can kill a Tarrask is the stomac of a Tarrask.
technically thats the gullet he mentioned the expanding gullet.
Itd heal a clay golem
SOOOoooooooo You mean to say that the Tarrasque glitches through the ground to move around ?.. ... ... REPORT CHEATER ! NOCLIP HACK !
The problem is that the tarrasque is the admins kid, so no one is allowed to ban him. That’s why players has to use exploits to get past his invulnerability barrier.
Pierre-Marie Caulliez also has infinite regen on that you need hacks to beat.

Just wish for it to be wise and good so he stops rampaging all the time and ignores is hunger ( or starts a big farm). And then if some one else try to do big evil stuff, he comes in and saves the day.
And BOOM, there you go! Your DM hates you!
.... I did this once mostly cause ive been planning it for a while I had him be a mysterious king who ruled a smallish kingdom with a HUGE farm like entire contents farm type shit and it's hilarious because the villain finally gets her wish which is to summon the dragon goddess (forgot how to spell her name FUKC) which she did and the king is found to be "booking it to your areas with such great speed the earth itself is shaking wait a minute" and then boom video (title can't spell its name) in complete dragon scaled armor with giant fukc off Lazer cannons on its back (draws are fun and friendly dragons as well) and a entire army at its beck and call, the bbeg pretty much shat a cinder block while the dragon goddess just fights him the good guys one and the bad guys were defeated and a feast was helles
Next time on d&d lore
What *THEY* dont tell you about that shifty local alchemist.

What they don't tell you about merchant guilds
Your storytelling is very relaxing to listen to, especially these monsters series.
I once had a DnD section with a Tarrasque at the end of our campaign and we had not much that could stop it until I thought: "nothing in THIS world can kill it" I asked then. "what if said thing is not from this world?" It was a bit homebrewed but it got really epic and it was a great fight with an awesome ending. So it was "killed" but it was said that it would keep it down and gone for many eons. So the DM was wanting to have it around for the exciting comeback.
Wait so howd you deal with it? You just went from "i got an idea" straight to "it worked" and didnt tell us the plan
@@BobThePenguin. Summon something of the equal or more powerful being from outside the DnD realms. As for what it was, well let your imagination help with that. I am sure any creative mind would be able to find many things that could be fun, exciting or just epic enough to fit in.

Level 20 comes by
One shots Tarrasque
“They say their are destroyer”
One of my favorite stories from a DM is that one player spent almost the whole campaign being very focused in meditations and a spell he was trying to learn. When they encountered the terrasque, the beast began to charge and the player started an incantation. Just before the beast got to the party, a giant portal opened up to another dimension and it couldn’t stop itself before plummeting into the portal being banished to another dimension.
I heard a similar version.
A party entered a colosseum type game and rolled a tarrasque fight. The party was allowed a magical item of their choosing. One wizard chose a candle (forgot what candle, probably magic candle?). As the tarrasque charged, the wizard lit both sides of the candle and opened up a gate where the tarrasque stopped, only sticking its head in up to its neck. Then the wizard snuffed out the candle and the gate closed, chopping the head clean off.
I suspect this scenario is just a fabulous story to tell people and not actually something that happened.
@@dizzydial8081 Candle of Invocation maybe? Or something. Also Gate does instantly teleport anything that is more than 50% inside. This way you can not cut anything with it. (if you close Gate, he was still here, you can not put part of yourself through Gate spell, you are either here or there after you put 51% of your body into portal).
Also cut of head would just regenerate. So that is very dumb story all around. There are easier ways to win vs Tarrasque
Love the video. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and opinion about the creature!
Tarasque: (swallows a god)
Tarasque: “Puny god.”

Thanks again my friend. I've always enjoyed hearing about the Tarrasque. Sure, there's multiple ways to kill it, especially since it has no ranged attack but I like the idea for a campaign that has it as the BBEG at or near the end. It's a lot of fun doing prep work to set up for the confrontation.
You might even have the opportunity to establish the hiring of an Ancient Dragon that can essentially circle above it and nuke it from orbit. That quest ( or similar type) could be as much fun as the battle itself! (keeping in mind that speed is of the essence, since it's eating people while you are in prep mode, heh).
one thing i heard is that in the sp[elljammer setting, there's a whole planet of these things and they're perfectly peaceful gentle giants. it's only the nitrogen/oxygen rich atmosphere of planets like say... the setting where humans live that make them go into super hungry mode and ultra charges their regeneration.
This is soooo intriguing and interesting, do you know what Spelljammer book it is in?
@@Gryphon2026 iirc it's in Practical Planetology

This goes on forever and the Tarrasque will never have enough damage to kill you and earth elementals are imune to exhaustion so you'll never have to worry about food water or even sleeping.
@@rafaelcastor2089 So you can live inside the terrasque....Cool!

@@rafaelcastor2089 But as he stated, the second stomach would remove all magic from you, which would strip you of your ability to transform into an Earth Elemental.
Wonderful content, thanks for this. The Tarrasque is a very interesting force of nature.
Thanx for a great overview with some not-so-well-known lore about it. I am planning to introduce the Tarrasque for the first time ever as the pet of the main villain in our high level campaign that we are getting to. I can't wait for the revelations and situations that it will lead to by installing this monster legend.
The rock is neither Tarrasque nor the Tarrasque is the Rock.
Tarrasque = Schrodinger
No, wait, your comment just implies the Tarrasque is not the rock.
*gasp!*
That's not how that law works.
Schrodinger's monster.
Eh, I'd phrase it as:
The item occupying the space is both the Tarrasque and the rock at the same time, unless the item is disturbed - Schrodinger's Tarrasque!
Of course, it still doesn't work - the item will always be the Tarrasque when disturbed - but it could be applied to any given rock of sufficient size - it can be considered to be both lethal Tarrasque and harmless rock simultaneously, and the only way to collapse the probability wavefunction that represents the possibilities is to disturb the rock.
Boom. Science. When talking about a fictional DnD creature.
Because I'm a sad excuse for a human being.
Didn’t I see somewhere a monster entry called, AND I QUOTE! “Swarm of swarm of tarrasques”. That double “swarm of” is not a typo btw

A spell that can probably hurt a terrasque: catapult. Also, the terrasque has a weakness to acid.
Imagine a spell called trebuchet which is better than catapult.
technically no as its actually a form of line attack and thus technically raw would reflect but logically yes it should work.

This I like! I've also thought about what would a world that constantly has to deal with the tarrasque would look like. Nomatic, maybe, maybe civilization only builds up for ten year periods before being destroyed again. Maybe the only place that stays a bastion of civilization is a sky temple City that barely has. A link to the ground bow it? I've been thinking about running a tarrasque based campaign that starts at low level, but the world building would be an epic ordeal!
Hi, I recently discovered your channel after involving in BG3. It allowed me to catch up with DnD lore, after 10y of break. I've just wanted to give a feedback that when you mention spatial dimension such as feet, could you also add the metric values somewhere in the video around that timestamp. This would help a lot to get the feeling and scale of things intuitively for people in Europe :)
Thanks for the content, it is superb.

Absolutely loved this video and this series, could you do the Kraken next it has always been a mystery to me
I'm doing a campaign with a Kraken in it right now, so that would be awesome!
My question is HOW THE HELL DOES IT HAVE SO MUCH CHARISMA?! (at least in 3.5)
@@Preaplanes It has 20 charisma in 5e which is max for a PC. My hope is that it'll be explained in a video like this, but the Kraken seems like a hyper intelligent being so maybe it has such high charisma for the intimidation skill?
I was thinking for Charisma saves against spells like Banishment
@@braidenwheeler It was above normal for a PC in 3.5, and resistances were separate from attribute stats. Cha didn't grant ANY bonuses to saving throws at all, just wis, con and dex to Will, Fortitude and Reflex respectively. So it was definitely not to help saving throws.
