In this dark time, the gods all collectively forged a item, one to help the Humans while the gods were absent: The Jar of the Beast.

Historical Basis

None, too far ago, before any historical documentation was possible(no paper or writing invented yet)

Variations & Mutation

Some versions of the Myth talk only about the destructiveness of The Tarrasque and blamed a woman named Pandora, saying that she opened it, and caused Th Tarrasque upon this world. This is supported by various reports of Tarrasque attacks, though many have been proven false and were simply Landsharks or Ankhegs.
