Do I really have to explain articulated digits (which the Tarrasque has) and pads like a cat? It also looks like the Tarrasque is actually bipedal like a T-Rex, as all of the pictures have it with its forward appendages off of the ground. It would stand to reason that the articulation that the Tarrasque has in its rotator cuff would be similar to that of any other bipedal creature with that body structure. In fact, I would liken the Tarrasque more to the posture of a gorilla than anything else, and those animals are very capable of throwing things, including in the actual rules under Giant Ape. And if you want to see an animal with a 3 intelligence throw something, look up an Elephant. They have been known to throw many things, mainly mud, at tourists and on themselves to cool down. All in all, I find this should indicate that a Tarrasque throwing a rock is not only possible, but likely, given an enemy out of reach.</p></blockquote><p></p>
