I had to look up what a tarrasque was. Good God, what a can of fuck you.
as far as I know they were nerfed for the 5th edition. It's still a huge sack of health but AFAIK you can stay out of range by just flying over its head. Lore-wise, it's a walking natural disaster that destroys anything that enters its maw, even magical artifacts.
I think that's largely a consequence of the 5e design in general. It doesn't leave a lot of room, natively, for exciting challenges from its monsters. You've got to go to third parties, like Colville's "action-oriented monsters", or other systems like PF2, to get that.
Fun fact, MCDM's Flee Mortals! book has its own stand-in for Tarrasque - Goxomoc. Fool's Gold: Into the Bellowing Wilds also has Dire Tarrasque
I'm a little sad that that book took so long to arrive that I had gone from never even considering moving to another system (other than for some fun temporary one-shots & small campaigns to add variety) to basically not being able to imagine myself choosing to go back to D&D at all, between the time I paid for it and when it finally arrived 5 months ago. Because I really did love the idea of it when it was being Kickstarted.
Same. The monsters are amazing, and would be a big boost to 5e, but I haven't been playing it as much lately.
