| Status | Sleeping — Tarrasque alive |
Key Events
| Sessions | 3–4 |

The interior of the most dangerous creature in the known world — and also, briefly, a home for people who had nowhere else to go.
Description
The Tarrasque is one of the most powerful creatures in existence. The party spent Sessions 3 and 4 inside it. The interior is a living environment — acidic, crushing in places, responsive to fire and other external stimuli.
Sub-Locations
Gizzard Chamber
Crushing walls. Acid-filled. Constantly constricting. Blackrazor was embedded in the living wall here — Othorion pulled it free. The partially digested remains of Arabo were found here; Roland recovered War's Wager.
Appendix Sanctuary
A relatively stable area used for rest. Ilsa Haze and Rump-a-Dump were found living here. Titan's Tooth was revealed here.
Waste Chambers
Stool elementals. Fire triggered violent internal convulsions in the Tarrasque. Selene contracted Sewer Eye Disease here (cured by Roland). Tactical withdrawal required.
Drying Chamber
Painful passage. Armor and skin dried severely. The party pushed through quickly.
Wall of Waste
Stool broke free and allowed the party passage. The Tarrasque reacted violently. A Greater Stool Elemental manifested and was defeated — Stool then fused with it and tore open the Tarrasque's exit.
The Tarrasque's Status
Haldak successfully invoked Titan's Tooth (BECKONALOTH / ZUMGALOTH) in Session 4. The Tarrasque fell asleep. It is currently sleeping in a vast Underdark cavern — alive, but dormant.
Roland failed the initial invocation attempt and suffered 8 levels of exhaustion.
