Meta:Tarrasque

From PathfinderWiki

Legacy content

Tarrasque was used from Dungeons & Dragons via the Open Game License. As of the Pathfinder Second Edition Remaster Project and the shift to the Open RPG Creative license, such creatures no longer share a license with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. Per James Jacobs, Tarrasque remains a canon part of Golarion's history but will not appear in Pathfinder stories going forward.123 -Oznogon (talk) 21:34, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

  2. "True story about Tarrasque, but just like Tiamat, the changes D&D made to this legendary mythological figure are enough that gamers won't really accept and would be confused by us reverting to the myth here. Plus, just like Tiamat, I'm really fond of the D&D version." Erik Mona, et al. Meet The Doomvelopers. Paizo blog, 2024
  3. "Yeah, (the Spawn of Rovagug that destroyed Ninshabur) is still Tarrasque and will remain so going forward. We can use that word without fear of the OGL since it's from mythology, and can call him the Armageddon Engine and refer to him as a spawn of Rovagug since that's flavor and lore we invented... we just won't be depicting Tarrasque as the Godzilla-adjacent monster that D&D interpreted him as, nor will we be presenting stats for Tarrasque in a remastered rulebook."
