A dog doesn't have the physiology to throw anything, lacking opposable digits as well as joints that would provide the ability to throw things. The Tarrasque, judging by the picture, seems to have a much more bipedal gait with its front legs for support, similar to a lizardlike gorilla, and seems to have the flexibility necessary to throw something, especially considering its large and long phalanges. Now, if we are going to go by the intelligence score (which I'd like to point out is a completely arbitrary mechanic designed to give an overall definition of something's intelligence, and not at all a specific modifier to the actions the creature can perform) then I'll point to the Bear as having a lower intelligence, but a quick glance on youtube finds videos of bears able to "throw" things even without hands necessary to grasp the ball properly. A baboon only has a 1 higher intelligence, and I think we're all aware of their throwing capabilities. Even an elephant has a 3 intelligence, and they've been known to show empathy for other elephants, use their trunks to throw grass and mud on themselves to stay cool, and even PAINT. Like legitimately paint pictures of themselves and others. So if we're extrapolating the abilities of one Int 3 creature to another, this means that the tarrasque, given the impetus, will be able to paint things, but we're trying to say it won't be able to throw something to defend itself?</p></blockquote><p></p>
