[QUOTE="Hapami, post: 6416664, member: 6683296"] Personally, I don't see a huge problem with the tarrasque knowing how to throw things. One of my dogs (not the bright one) figured out that throwing toys at the other dog got her attention for playing better than simply pawing at her. I don't see why the tarrasque, which, at least in previous editions, was always described as being very clever even if only animal intelligent, couldn't figure out to throw rocks and trees at things outside its reach if given a bit of time to do so. I feel like several rounds of swatting at the insect above it dropping acid on its head would make it try to find ways to either a) leave the area and get away from the fly, or b) find some way to extend its reach and swat at it. Many animals use tools, and I don't see why the tarrasque wouldn't eventually learn to toss rocks after eons of eating various civilizations -- surely someone has used this trick before for it to learn from experience. That said, the lack of a ranged attack is definitely a disadvantage, and one that should be made up for with either its environment or some allies backing it up. If you have enough things to keep you out of the tarrasque's reach (both claw and boulder), you should be able to find plenty of ways to kill it. [/QUOTE]
