Anyway, not to have a useless post, have any of you ever used the Tarrasque as a monster in any of your campaings? I also saw on a DS website stats for an undead tarrasque. Any insights?
the undead stats for one were interesting, i think it was a custom look at the deadlands & that whole chapter of athas.
but the Tarrasque was put into the MM as a sort of pedestal...a mark of something the PCs should not be able to beat. such things are the par in Athas! So Dark Sun has its equivalent...you find the same concept under a fairly unobtrusive entry in the WJ called the 'dragon of tyr'...
come on its obvious. the things a killin machine. 2e MM had some...bias in it. the 3 categories for monsters were: brief stats and a line of description,
a page entry, some with pretty general information, and the monsters with a whole campaign story written into them (read: Sahaugin.)
saying the monster is unbeatable (;) ) and then saying what magic items ya can yeild from its corpse...egh. though i am wrong 40% of the time, in addition i cannot quote accurate statistics, so prove me wrong, it helps everyone involved :D
if the tarasque & borys eve....nevermind
Frankly, my PCs have enough problems with low-level templars that a Terrasque roaming the countryside would be superfluous.
Either that or some weapon used in the waning days of the Cleansing Wars to root out one nation or another. Or defend it. There's mentions of an undead terror trapped beneath a dead city in the Wanderer's Chronical (DS2e). I believe that's where Nyt dumped it. If I were going to put one of these nasties in my campaign, that's where I'd put it too.
Could be an undead life shaped creature. If I'm not mistaken, didn't PAoA or WRotJC go into undead life shaped items?

Undead? No, but I plan to in my project. ;)

Mwuahahaha!
Someone remembered. :embarrass
Seriously, I had it a creation of sorts that the gnomes came up with, kinda their last weapon to throw at the Cleansing Wars and such, but something backfired and they were never able to use it, so it died and gain it's own sentience (it was controlled by gnome psionicists before, sorta of a livin construct sorta thing, it was weird, don't ask) and became undead.
Then I found Gerald Arthur Lewis's info on the Dead Lands he did and saw that he had an undead Tarrasque in that area as well, so I just used his stats for it.
Now that I know a bit more about the Dead Lands I want to change it around some and restat it, true Athasian style, but that's down the road...
Yes, I was taking good drugs then, still am, don't mock me. :P
Indeed, I have heard the same thing, but will never be able to play it. You need a computer from the flint and stone age (the early 90's) to be able to play Wake of the Ravager!! :P
Really? I had no trouble to play it on P4-2.8/i875/WXP. Try to switch off the sound, it helps! But I have found no tarrasque neither on P4, nor on 486, no matter, how I tried.
Speaking of great monsters, I was looking at the incredible flash rendered map of Athas on a website(you guys must know what I'm talking about) and in the crimson Savannah, there's a mountain a believe and it says there's a rumbling or some sound in the mountains, which may come from a waterfall or the river, but that there must be 'something else' making that sound. Is that info in Thri-kreens of Athas? Any other info on that?
