Ryoga! we're sparring, not in a death duel." "Ryoga's not in
right now... Parn").  I might even throw a tarrasque in
there for the hell of it.  Muhuwahahahahahahahahahaha

*Gets out Monstrous Manual*

( Some information Omitted, or paraphrased. )

Tarrasuqe

Frequency: Unique
Intelligence: Animal

Armor Class: -3
Hit Dice: 300 hp
THAC0: -5
NO. Attacks: 
...

   The legendary tarrasque, for there is fortunately only one known to exist, is
the most dreaded monster native to the Prime Material plane. The creature is a
scaly biped with two horns on its head, a lashing tail, and a reflective
carapace. (And BIG)

....

   The Tarrasque is also immune to all heat and fire, and it regenerates lost
hit points at a rate of 1 hp per minute. Only enchanted weapons have any hope of
harming the tarrasque. The tarrasque is totally immune to all psionics.

...

   It is fortunate that the tarrasque is active only for short periods of time.
Typically, the monster comes forth to forage for a week or two, ravaging the
countryside for miles around. The tarrasque then seeks a hidden lair underground
and lies dormant, sleeping for five to twenty months before coming forth again.
Once every decade or so, the monster is particularly active, staying awake for
several months. Thereafter its period of dormancy is 4d4 years unless disturbed.
The ratio of active to dormant states seems to be about 1:30.

   Slaying a tarrasque is said to be possible only if the monster is reduced to
-30 or fewer hit points and a *wish* is then used. Otherwise, even the slightest
piece of the tarrasque can regenerate and restore the monster completely...

   It is rumored that the tarrasque is responsible for the extinction of one
ancient civilization, for the records of their last days spike of a "great
reptilian punisher sent by the gods to end the world."

   In other words... ARE YOU NUTS!? 

Nuff said.
