Tarrasque

The tarrasque is the most terrible creature known to inhabit the Prime Material Plane. The beast is a full 50 feet (15 meters) tall and 70 feet (21 meters) long, a quadruped with a long tail, reflective carapace, and two large horns on its head. The tarrasque slumbers within the world's core. No one can predict when it will next awake.
The tarrasque is irreversibly tied to the Prime by its nature. As a result, the most one can hope to do is put the creature to sleep within the core, holding it off for a while longer.

Characteristics

Physical features

The tarrasque is an enormous abomination, roughly the size of an ancient dragon, with two long horns extending from its forehead, a thick carapace, a mighty tail, many spikes covering its large body, and a wide, toothy maw. The tarrasque also has two small eyes, but it does not rely on these for its primary method of sensory perception—if they are blinded or removed, it is effectively unhindered. The tarrasque is impossible to frighten or charm and has resistances to every kind of damage imaginable. It moves at a speed roughly half again that of a human, either while walking on the surface, climbing a height, or burrowing through the earth.

Mental traits

Although the tarrasque is indisputably a force of pure destruction, it is not truly evil or even chaotic by nature, lacking the consciousness necessary for it to take a moral stance. As a result, it is merely neutral in alignment.
Because of the extreme amount of energy its body consumes, when the Tarrasque is not slumbering, it is always in search of food sources. It is prone to eating prey alive in order to waste as little time as possible in replenishing its energy.

Abilities

The tarrasque has the ability to instill nearby creatures with terrible fear, rendering them incapable of action. It is also immune to the ill effects of fire, poison, or disease. It is generally immensely difficult to injure, and some scholars even claim that it is immune to all manner of psionic attacks.

Worship

The destructive potential of the tarrasque is so vast that some cultures incorporate the monster into religious doctrine, weaving its sporadic appearance into stories of divine judgment and wrath.

History

The Tarrasque is a Titan, a being so old is predate history and the creations of gods. Left to rule the lands with its unmatched strength.
