Tarrasque
The legendary tarrasque is possibly the most dreaded monster of the Material Realm. It is widely believed that only one of these creatures exists, though no one can predict where and when it will strike. A scaly biped, the tarrasque is fifty feet tall and seventy feet long, weighing hundreds of tons. It carries itself like a bird of prey, leaning forward and using its powerful lashing tail for balance. Its cavernous maw yawns wide enough to swallow all but the largest creatures, and so great is its hunger that it can devour the populations of whole towns.
Legendary Destruction The destructive potential of the tarrasque is so vast that some cultures incorporate the monster into religious doctrine, weaving its sporadicappearance into stories of divine judgment and wrath. Legends tell how the tarrasque slumbers in its secret lair beneath the earth, remaining in a dormant state for decades or centuries. When it awakens in answer to some inscrutable cosmic call, it rises from the depths to obliterate everything in its path.

| Special 4 | Siege Monster | The tarrasque deals double damage to objects and structures | |
| Action 1 | Multiattack | The tarrasque can use its Frightful Presence. | It then makes five attacks: |

| ending the effect on itself on a success. | If a creature's saving throw is successful | or the effect ends for it, | the creature is immune to |
| the tarrasque's Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours | |||
| Action 7 | Swallow | The tarrasque makes one bite attack against | a Large or smaller creature it is grappling. |
| If the attack hits, the target takes the bite's damage, | the target is swallowed, and the grapple ends. | While swallowed, the creature is blinded | and restrained, it has total cover against attacks |
| and other effects outside the tarrasque, | and it takes 16d6 acid damage at the | start of each of the tarrasque's turns. | If the tarrasque takes 60 damage or more on a single turn from |
| a creature inside it, the tarrasque must succeed on | a DC 20 Constitution saving throw at the end of that turn | or regurgitate all swallowed creatures, | which fall prone in a space within 10 feet of the tarrasque. |
| If the tarrasque dies, a swallowed creature is no longer | restrained by it and can escape from the corpse | by using 30 feet of movement, exiting prone | |
