June's Life Cycle Miniature : The Tarrasque!

CH

Just going to throw my support for baby instead of egg. I also like undead, though I think a long-dead corpse/skeleton would also be good for "dead." Either way, I was very excited to see this as the first one!

I think some people are getting the scale wrong just a bit. 10 inches tall by 14 inches long for a standard 1" grid scale.

The tarrasque (pronounced: /tɑːˈræsk/ tah-RÆSK[6][7]) was the most terrible creature known to inhabit the Prime Material Plane. The beast was a full 50 feet (15 meters) tall and 70 feet (21 meters) long[8] quadruped with a long tail, reflective carapace, and two large horns on its head.[9

I would prefer baby than egg and udead than dead. I think miniatures are much better than this kind of terrain. And campaign related to Terrasgue life cycle would be great. If undead isn't option I would prefer egg, baby, adult, ancient

I think 'skeleton (pieces)' rather than 'undead' for the final stage - given the size relative to a human, the skull alone is going to be an awesome bit of terrain, and a full skeleton could easily fill a couple of square feet of tabletop!

So for the dead tarrasque, this is a leviathan. I think it would be more in keeping with the epic nature if you showed it merged with a rocky background, conveying a sense of "it laid down and the mountain grew around it". Maybe it's not even dying/dead in the traditional sense, but returning to the earth that gave it form. I don't think an undead tarrasque, though maybe visually cool, makes much sense. For the birth stage, I don't see an egg doing it justice. Again, maybe more of a newt form bursting(birthing) directly from the earth rather than a shell, to distinguish it from simply a dragon's lifecycle. A force of nature.

Just a bit of fun knowledge from an old grognard, but one of the surest ways to kill a terrasque was to drown it. At least in 3.x. But I do like the mid-regeneration idea.

I love the undead idea. Someting even harder to throw at players!

You are correct. In 5E lore a tarrasque is a one of a kind creature that doesn't die (or is not supposed too). So a battle worn mid-regeneration tarrasque would be super dope!

Sean McInnes

Brilliant! Lore wise, if I remember correctly, there is one ever one tarrasque in existence at a time (please correct if I'm getting my lore confused), so the regenerating idea is HEAPS better than a Skeletarrasque in that regard.

Loving the baby tarrasque idea, and maybe fore the skeletal/undead look - what if it's something along the lines of it in the process of regenerating?

The full sized Tarrasque would be about 210mm tall and about 292mm long. While im up for printing that and would LOVE it. I think having different sizes or telling people what % they will need to add or subtract from it. It would need to be printed in parts which should make the supports a lot easier and who knows maybe movable limbs on it.

I like the eggs and think a youngling would be great too, I cry at most Disney movies so seeing the dead creature after the others may make me sad, so maybe an old weathered creature close to death? Lol
