[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 8046564, member: 11760"] I'm assuming it's meant to be a big nuke and a McGuffin that's not expected to be used. (I would also assume there's huge costs and conditions attached to prevent high-level adventures from turning into tarrasque summoning wars.) Or, if it is going to be used, it's how you can beat Auril, and whatever expensive/difficult components and "stars as right" conditions go with her when she's defeated. But this isn't "breaking the game," since DMs and players who want to do that have always been able to, whether it was tween-age munchkins using Deity and Demigods as a shopping manual of characters to defeat and treasures to plunder (Mjolnir in one hand and the Rod of Orcus in the other!) or homebrewing ridiculous content for level 200 games. (A buddy of mine keeps wanting to tell me about his campaign at that level and I always black out and am unable to process anything he says.) DMs Guild even has a nicely selling adventure called Planet of the Tarrasques. We're a long way from the days this was a singular monster in the 1E MM2. [/QUOTE]
