GRANDPA GOLDURP'S GUIDE to MONSTERS, MYTHS and NOT SO NICE THINGS: Tarasque

Hello boy's and girls and welcome to the first installment of Grandpa Goldurp's Guide to: Monsters, Myths and Not So Nice Things. Today's ferocious frightening fanged fiend?
The Tarasque.

The Tarasque is a gargantuan creature 50 feet tall and 70 feet long. It is said to have 6 legs, the head of a lion, the shell of a turtle covered in spikes and a long tail that ends in a scorpions stinger or a spiked ball depending on the account! It is a remorseless killing machine that spends most of its time underground in the deep dark places of the world. Fortunately for most adventures it sleeps a great deal of the time from months to sometimes years!
It can eat almost constantly when it wakes and uses its desire for destruction to fuel its hunger. Beware should you ever encounter one boys and girls not only is it horribly powerful it is also amazingly armored its scaly hide can deflect most weapons and even some magic! It also has the damnable ability to regenerate making it damn near immortal! Its origins are unknown some say it is a curse from the elder gods some say a drunk wizard created it whilst trying to transform his pet turtle into a bride!

Stay safe in those dungeons kids and as always: don't forget to clear your inventory!
