If you hit an obstacle, take 1d12 damage for every 10' early you where halted.Horns: DC X strength save or be stunned until the start of their next turn. At the start of their next turn, repeat the save; on failure, they can only move or take an action, not both.Also, maybe a limit on how many of bite/claw/horn/tail can be used on the same target.  I know DMs can do that, but such a limit both makes sense geometry wise, and ensures that the Tarrasque wants to stay mobile.I might also add a great leap ability, like 120' range, with recharge.  Maybe let the tarrasque do that by dropping the tail attack; this makes it something it does only when it needs to (as it costs damage output), but makes "kiting" less likely.</blockquote>
