[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 6136058, member: 8461"] The Tarrasque is one of the iconic D&D monsters, and has been around for several editions now. Given that, I thought it might be fun to report on "sightings" of this bad boy monster in published adventures and sourcebooks. Sure he appears in monster books several times over, but what adventures actually want you to throw your party at this guy? What sourcebooks actually say "Oh, by the way, the Tarrasque is over here, if your party wants to go there"? I'll start things off: The Tarrasque appears in DL16 [i]World of Krynn[/i]. If I remember correctly, it can be summoned to fight the party in Dargaard Keep(!). I don't have this module though, so I can't double-check this particular resource. [i]The Apocalypse Stone[/i]. The 2E adventure pulled out all the stops (since it was supposed to be the "transition adventure" to 3E for home-brew campaigns) and so naturally includes the Tarrasque. It's included here as an optional side-quest that the PCs can undertake if they're not focused enough on their main mission to save the world. [i]Reverse Dungeon[/i]. Not the true Tarrasque, a man-sized facsimile of the creature is the ninth and final form of the "boss" monster guarding the artifact at the conclusion of the second level of the dungeon (where the PCs play a group of aberrations and outcasts defending their artifacts from invading adventurers). SJR4 [i]Practical Planetology[/i]. Planet Falx - the planet that you sent your PCs to if they were invincible or had seriously ticked you off - has [i]packs[/i] of Tarrasques roaming the surface. Where else has the uber-monster of D&D appeared? [/QUOTE]
