Tarasque (animal)

Perhaps one of the ugliest creatures in existence, the Tarasque is a scaly shelled beast with a bizarre mish-mash of animalistic characteristics. This six-legged beast is almost as much at home in the water as it is on land, and its tough armored shell will make attacking it quite difficult. Its poisonous breath can slay any man who strays too close for too long.

The Tarasque is a mighty, and incredibly tough foe with a shell as hard as iron, and fuming venomous breath. When dealing with this monstrosity I must prepare to slay it quickly for staying too long within its presence will spell certain doom for me. I have therefore spent much time training with my sturdiest spear to prepare for the attack.

When I encounter the beast, it is ransacking one of the local farming communities, dealing a great deal of damage to the livestock, and with the local farmers unwilling, or unable to protect their community. The beast doesn't seem to observe my approach and I prepare to pounce on it.
