I saw the illo of an Elyssum Storm Titan about the turn a Pit Fiend to goo, and that got me thinking about the Terrasque and Godzilla.
I think Godzilla would step on the Terrasque and breathe thermo-nuclear hate. A few ciders of the Tarrasque would be left but you might have to filter the air to find enough soot. If that were the case, would something like a GENTLE REPOSE be enough to keep it dead?
And how does the WereCube fit into this scenario?
Comments?
I don't know how well Godzilla fits into the CR system of d20.
He would stomp the tarrasque into powder and vomit radiation all over the remains then quietly resume his travels toward a heavily populated area.
I think Godzilla would fit into d20 the same way Cthulhu did.
Well, it depends. Vanilla Godzilla, then sure, it has a decent chance of winning.
But the later Godzillas with all the extra powers thrown on top of what was already there...?
Dragon Magazine #289 has rules for creating Kaiju templates.
So, the general agreement is the tarrasque would be reduced to subatomic particles? Perhaps a shadow where the tarrasque was?
The tarrasque is 70 feet long, 50 feet tall, and weighs 130 tons. The Cloverfield creature is 1200 feet long, 300 feet tall, and weighs 5806 tons. Godzilla is 300 ft. tall and weighs about 60,000 tons.

Those stat blocks = funny
Unless Godzilla is packing a scroll of wish, then the tarasque will be back...

Agreed. Godzilla can probably kill the tarrasque, but not for good.
This gets brought up every-so-often. I remember seeing it three or so times back when I was haunting the WoTC boards last decade.
At some point, somebody always points out that the Tarrasque was basically created to fit Godzilla's role in the first place. (By the way, I was the one to point this out in at least one of those old WoTC threads, so why break with tradition?)
So it's sort of like asking what would happen if a Balor encountered a Balrog. (For those of you who don't know, the Balrog was originally in D&D, but had to be changed to Balor to avoid lawsuits.)
I know the Tarrasque isn't identical to Godzilla, but you get the point.
Isn't the terrasque a knock-off of godzilla?

So, if a level 20 cleric uses repeated castings of miracle to succesfully charm the tarrasque then it loses regeneration and dr?
That's now my houserule.
Godzilla eats Tarrasque, Tarrasque regenerates, but is continually digested by Godzilla, Godzilla never becomes incredibly hungry again.
Big G is in another weight class altogether he's 100 meters of mean S.O.B. He's got martial arts and wrestling moves, plus I've seen him enter transformations ala Dragon Ball Z Super Saiyans.
Whoever did the Cloverfield monster's weight needs their head examined.
I dont agree the TARRASQUE (gorbz) would rock the pants off Godzizilla
godzilla may score a few hits but the "invincible" TARRASQUE(gorbz) would kill godzilla pretty quickly due to its healing and monster resistance.
Godzilla would breath weapon the TARRASQUE(gorbz) and think he killed it. then turn around to roar and wave at some small japanese child that has no business hanging around monsters in the first place. then the TARRASQUE(gorbz) would get up and bit godzilla in the neck form behind instantly killing our japanese trex friend and scarring for life a small japanes child. godzilla cant regenerate at nearly the speed of the TARRASQUE(gorbz). end of story I would pay to buy an adventure/Movie where the 2 fought.
Perhaps only the Terrasque can kil the Terrasque....
To PERMANENTLY stop the Terrasque you must find another Terrasque in another reality and bring it to your reality.
(At least that is the way I would be tempted to make it for its final death)
CHUCK NORRIS disagrees!!! Summon him from WOW!!!

I disagree, Big G is a 100 meter tall force of nature, plus the Tarrasque would never be able to make the jump the DC to reach Godzilla's neck is ~DC1000 (he has to jump 250 feet, assuming Big G's head is 18 feet tall, 250X4=1000) which a Tarrasque has a mighty jump bonus of +43, he'd need to roll over 957 on a d20, it's not happening, no matter how hard you fanfic it, not within the context of the rules anyway.

*peers suspiciously at the painting of St. Martha and the "Tarrasque"*
You sure? That looks like something a low level commoner with a pitchfork could defeat. Reminds me of that St. George guy and his "dragon."
Actually, I think Lobolusk has a point.
The Tarrasque would get killed many times--it's tiny compared to Godzilla--but it has regeneration, and Godzilla doesn't. Eventually, Godzilla would fall.

Wouldn't Godzilla continue to level at an incredible rate from repeatedly killing the tarrasque, until eventually he became powerful enough to vanquish said beast for good (some time in the demigod levels)?
That sounds like a bad precedent to set. Do the PCs get xp from the tarrasque every time they 'kill' it? :P
Well, supposedly every time you defeat a creature, you gain XP. If the creature flees, it's technically defeated, which means you can face it again, and defeat it for XP, and so on until the level disparity becomes too great.

I've seen Godzilla get better from being destroyed, the only bit of him remaining was his heart, which started beating a few seconds after he had been destroyed, so I'm pretty sure it's safe to say Godzilla has regeneration. Plus, this is like Wolverine trying to take on Hulk, eventually Hulk is going to get fed up with his crap, and hurl him into outer space.

Or drag him down to the depths, kinda hard to swim with metal bones.

I think Big G would dip into mage just to get a few wishes . . .
BUT, QUICK, GIVE ME A SUPER-X MAIN DKY BATTLE TANK -- A BOTTLE OF ANYTHING -- TO GO!

Space tends to last longer, especially if you throw them hard enough.
