Ironically a big Dinosaur is hiding in the MM : Just like Oozes, Demons, Devils 'sub classes' etc. It's like Hey where's my main man the classic Gelatinous Cube?! Oh yeah he's an ooze next to the classic Ochre Jelly.Yeah I guess at low levels 'common' monsters should be common knowledge. Whereas rare ones lend themselves to situational skill checks depending on the DM.Now that I look at "Tarrasque Lore" 4e MM1 pg 13 I guess for any D&D edition I was getting at this (I'll just use him as an example since I can't find the thread for the 5e excerpt but the 5e MM has no such recommended DC checks I don't think)A character knows the following information with a successfulArcana check.DC 25: The tarrasque is a living engine of destruction createdby the primordials to obliterate the works of the gods. Itsleeps within the world’s core, stirring occasionally. When itwakes, it burrows up to the surface and begins a continentwiderampage.DC 30: The tarrasque is inexorably bound to the world,such that the most one can hope for is to lay the creature torest, forcing it to sleep within the world’s core for many yearsbefore it stirs again. However, ancient texts postulate that thetarrasque could be destroyed permanently were it somehowcoaxed or tricked into leaving the world.</blockquote>
