I always give my Terasque a radiant breath weapon, earth bind, projectile spines, and play it more like modern Godzilla, as a last line of defence against more malevolent monstrosities. Sure, it’s kinda huge, but when it steps on a city isn’t not doing it to be a dick, it’s just that the world is much smaller than it and it can’t help it, the best the hero’s can do is mitigate the damage and evacuate the city, because ultimately it’s better to have it around for when a three headed void wyrm attacks

I would homebrew the tarrasque so that it retains some of its old abilities, like a poisonous breath weapon and regeneration, as the 5e tarrasque is the butt of many jokes (and rightfully so, due to having far too many exploitable weaknesses to justify a CR of 30). Perhaps give its claws and fangs the magical property, so its attacks can actually hurt a clay golem.

To be quite honest, Kaijus work wonders in one narrative respect- they give players a sense of scale. I was playing the 3.5 module Savage Tide, and i had the group setting sail for the Island of Dread. And as the paladin held the sword high and boldly proclaimed "we are the Wyvern's Crew! We defeated the Lotus Dragon and faced openly the Scarlet Brotherhood, we shall best any backward savage and wild beast on that Island!", the waves started to slowly rise and ebb, in a constant crescendo. A few hours later, the rogue yelled "Land!" from the crow's nest. And then, right after "TURN STARBORD, LAND APPROACHING WITH HOSTILE INTENT!" I let every player roll their individual perception, so that the horror would slowly rise. And then, they all saw It. A mind-bogglingly enormous creature, its scaly skin mottled with streams of cooling magma, the whole figure enveloped in scalding steam. I actually played a kaiju Roar (Red King's Roar, for the fans) from my laptop, to make It clear for the players - the raucous sound announcing them that they were not safe here. Demagorah, the Monarch Unbroken, welcomed them to the Island of Dread with a flaming tail sweep that broke the Sea Wyvern in two. It was one precious Moment. From that point forwars, the party tool the menaces of the Island of Dread VEEEERY seriously.

He likes to play fetch with blue whales and accidentally causes earthquakes when he gets too excited that his owner is home. Yeah, he has an owner. His name is Dave and he is a tanner. This behemoth of a dog, known only as Kruasatha, saw the tanner make a collar for his neighbor's dog and he appeared and demanded a collar. It took Dave's entire extended family to put the collar on and the skin of 100 cows was used, but it was worth it. The farmer taught him to roll over to clear forests. He lets the children walk to school under him to keep them out of the rain or out of the sun. He moves trees for lumberjacks. And, if a bandit camp ever gets a little too brave, all he needs to do is bare his teeth. Kruasatha, The Goodest Boy

Fun idea, a campaign where a secluded region is being beset by several Kaiju. The player characters are tasked with finding ancient techniques to fight them, with three findable options. 1. An ancient weapon that can be discovered in an abandoned temple. A Combined Spirit Warrior that can be piloted by one or more of the party, but one of them will be risking their life to do so. 2. An ancient ritual, buried deep in the central towns archives. The ritual requires the sacrifice of a loyal creature, to turn it into a new Kaiju that will retain its loyalty for a while. 3. Travel to the lower depths of a vast cave system to awaken the first Kaiju, the mother of all Kaiju, the elder Tarrasque.

I just came across this video, so might as well add my idea: Terratontak, the wandering kingdom. A tortoise the size of a mountain range, carrying a land mass on its back. There was once a story about Terratontak waking up eons ago and rose from the earth, picking up an unfortunate kingdom capital along its massive shell and then started to wander, taking the kingdom with it. There is many interpretations of this story throughout the ages. Was this a punishment for a king's hubris for wanting a castle that reached the heavens? Or the last defense from an unknown powerful foe? Maybe it was a cosmic coincidence and the kingdom was built upon the slumbering titan, unaware of its existence until it awoken. No one truly knows. Terratontak is docile in nature, not bothered or unaware of the smaller creatures around it. Any attack made on this creature is considered useless due to it's colossal size. It won't be considered a monster but a walking natural event. Due to its massive size and unaware attitude, it walks over forests, mountains, and unsuspecting towns all the same. It will probably be the players job to prevent it from trampling a well known trade city that is in its path, and it's not keen on stopping. Will they tell the citizens to evacuate and let city get destroyed? Mount Terratontak to find a solution in the kingdom on its back? Or pull a patrick and 'take the city and push it somewhere else.' Either way, it would make a suspenseful mult-session mission and a very memorable part of a D&D campaign.

I call it; nárvindr, the toll of bones, the graveyard tempest. it's probably going to get called the bonezone

All the inhabitants had to go on was the swathe of destruction left after the beast departed, so they just filled in the visual details with a huge version of the scariest and most powerful creatures they were aware of

I have already used the template to make “The First Brood Mother” (I’m bad at naming things) using “Spider King” from OotA as base. I had already had the idea for a small war between Spiders and Spider-Eaters (you used the picture of the Spider-Eater for the Kaiju Wasp) so this was perfect! Though I will be making a few changes to the Wasp like replacing the ranged attack for swallow (because my idea is that the Eater is driven by gluttony) and giving it the Trait that if it stings a spider creatures and the creature fails it bypasses resistances and immunities and takes the poison damage as if it were vulnerable and becomes poisoned (thinking to changing it so the last two happen if it fails by certain degrees). I have 2 other ideas, 1 being a Kaiju “Living Wick” from Tome of Beats. “The Fire God’s Prison” (deity related to fire or a powerful fire elemental). As long as the wick of the Unmeltable Kaiju burns it remains dormant, but once the fire is extinguished and the entity is freed causing the Kaiju to come to life to recapture its prisoner. Last idea is a Kaiju “Flying Sword” called something like the “Lost Weapon of the Gods”. I can’t remember the story in full but maybe it’s Gruumsh’s spear the he used to stab Corellon. The elves could be trying to keep it sealed and Orcs are trying to free and awaken it so that will go after Corellon or more so the elves that were made of his blood.

Forgot where I saw it, but someone pointed out that the fact that the tarrasques have back spikes and horns means that they evolved to fight against a much larger predator On a totally unrelated note, the tarrasques have a home planet called Falx, which is roughly twice (and a half) the size of Toril. It's speculated that Falx has creatures similar to the tarrasque, and are a common sight. Usually, it would be hard to reach. But fortunately for us, Spelljammers are being developed for use in traversing WIldspace/Phlogiston

Once it has its first drink in several thousand years… well. It probably won’t move so slowly anymore. It can probably climb out of the ravine. It could go *anywhere.* (Extra fun: when snakes get heavy enough, they don’t slither anymore. They *walk* on their ribs in movement similar to most caterpillars. Only a few snakes in the real world actually do this, but it’s the only practical way for a Jormongondar-scale creature to move.)

The local storm giants are terrified of it, and revere it as a demigod of the hunt. They will regularly go and ritually hunt massive beasts and monstrosities as sacrifices for it. However, Obsidusa is not intelligent enough to understand the symbolism of the sacrifices, and merely accepts them as easy meals.

I was playing a psychic in an epic level pathfinder game and we encountered a mythic lotus tree. Me and the party dragon, long story, were the only characters with a descent chance of passing the will save against the lotus tree's mind fuckery. And I was the only one who did. I managed to teleport the dragon away and free the dragon from the mind fuckery and we worked together to free the rest of the party. As I was about to teleport away for the final time I noticed one of the lotus tree's enslaved creatures was Mogaru, Pathfinder's version of Godzilla, and I almost managed to posses it and get my own pet Mogaru. Unfortunately the tree was beginning to get agressive and my odds soloing it weren't good, so I had to bug out.

Fun fact Godzilla has at least 30 movies from when he first came out till now... Can't remember exactly how many movies he has... But also remember seeing several from the 1950's, 60's and 70's... The originals were in black and white...

I once made a kaiju known only as "the great wanderer", which some believed was a god of scholars and travelers since it walked around, sometimes protecting or even carrying wanderers that stuck close to it and the caravan of priests, the "scion theists", that always accompanied it. It's also said that it was so tall only the mountains could impede its watchful gaze, and that as it flied its shadow could completely cover even the largest cities. Many would like to say that it's complete bogus that a colossal creature/God that protected travelers and somehow disappeared out of nowhere centuries ago actually existed, but the tracks made up of 60-feet-wide footprints found over nearly all continents say otherwise. The beast and its "priests" are all a race of constructs and currently they're stationed in giant library hidden in one of the continents. Let's just say it's probably the liveliest building one will ever see.

These look fun. Thank you for putting the idea in my head of using the Terasque and other massive creatures more as background then targets. I come from second edition where it felt like it was the ultimate mile stone/ slash challenge. I will probably be making at least one tweak: modifying the creature's natural attack to be equal or better than added attacks. The idea that what a normal version is known for is weaker than it's other attacks does not sit well with me. But otherwise great stuff. Thank you.

They should all have a psychic bond ability where somewhere a child no older than 10 is psychically linked with each kyju. They know things about the monster they should have no way of knowing, and know what the monsters desires and feelings are.

I like to imagine the attacks of a truly massive kaiju bursting through a layer of low clouds, glowing and shrouded in flames, not from magic, just from the speed causing the atmosphere and the outer layer of it's limb to ignite. Basically a meteor.

I don't think I'll be using your template specifically for it, but I'm going to go through the process of making your Xixecal stat block into a CR 30 monster. Debating on the name, but this thing is going to become something akin to the Elder Evil Leviathan, where it's the First Elder Elemental. I'm planning something cool set up in the Icewind Dale when my party hits 20th level, where the nemeses they've made will use the Scroll of the Comet to destroy the Frostmaiden's fortress and end the eternal storm she created. The plot twist is, the entire icy glacier that her fortress was built into was the back of this ancient elemental, and the impact coupled with the loss of the comfortable chill of the Frostmaiden's presence rouses it awake. An unfathomably large ice elemental rises from the oceanic depths of the Sea of Floating Ice to stand above the mountains that separate the region from the Sword Coast. Once this thing's awake, I don't know what the PCs are going to do, but it's going to just start trudging about the oceans, freezing the world as it travels.

This video is SO helpful! My party saved a silver dragon egg from a dire duck at the beginning of the game. When it finally hatched it was a silver dragon manticor hybrid. It was rescued from a mad vampire's laboratory before falling in the dire duck pond. It would grow expenetially, emitting an incredible icy necrotic aura. It will continue to grow and I hope to utilize it as a big bad in my 2nd campaign. Teskatora, the mangled sorrow, will return to wreck shit! ( I was greatly inspired by Teostra from Monster Hunter) thank you for sharing the template and tips!

A false hydra kaiju dubbed The Last Song or something like that. This kaiju sleeps for impossibly long times under the surface of the Earth, or only wakes up by a long-forgotten, extremely complex ritual. If it does wake up, from the moment a head starts singing, it gets an ability or group of abilities and grows in size, and for each head that starts singing, which only go one at a time, it gets larger and more powerful. The sixth head would make it so massive it'd be enough to destroy a continent for instance, and once the last one sings, a whole score is completed, the beast begins to ascend and if it's not stopped before the change happens, the whole world gets destroyed as it creates a portal to pass through and join the realm of other timeless, eldritch creatures

id wanna see a Kaiju rip apart a god as part of its entrance. Like maybe your goal was supposed to be to kill this big bad diety, and then suddenly when your party is on the backfoot and trying to run away, a Kaiju jumps out from behind and kills the god readily and then you kinda have to deal with what comes next

My step brother Bill had a campaign where it was a big big dungeon. First level: first level monster, second level: second level monsters, and just kept on getting tougher and tougher and tougher as you get deeper and deeper. Standard dungeon crawl stuff. However, at the very end very bottom level after they've dealt with mind flares and beholders and trolls and everything, nothing but kobolds! And they're peaceful. They don't fight back. Easy XP right? Sure. The thing is, They're worshiping the tarasque on the next level and it is their sacred duty to happily jump into the tarasque Jaws whenever it wants. And since the players have killed all the monsters kobolds, nothing is going to stop this monster from coming up and destroying the world.

One idea I've stumbled across that I think it is pretty cool is that dragons come from a planet. This planet is home to creatures like kayu that are roughly analogous to animals to dragons people status. Also, I'm on a Daikaiju kick, so it will be a while before giga-fauna cryptids are boring again. Go go Godzilla!

Ettin Kaiju that has four heads, partially merged together and each head's face faces one of the four cardinal directions. (think of Mask of the Shapeshifter from Divinity: Original Sin II). This makes it basically see in every direction at once, which combined with the blindsight that Kaiju get, makes it basically impossible to do something without being seen by it.

Not necessarily stronger than a modern Solar, but much, much bigger and destructive.

SUPER late to the party but this template seems great to make a kaiju version of a personally-fancied monster of mine, the Bulette. As I wanted to maintain that sense of minor silliness in the name, I chose to call it...the Caliberre (ka-luh-bear). Because NOTHING says "horrifying giant monster" than "metal-plated giant that just wants a meal, and doesn't care if that's a forest or a city or a battlefield or what".

I had a whole setting for this. The most interesting one, to me, was Living Gond. It was a massive mech created by a group of warforged, who believed it to be an earthly representation of Gond. It mostly did good, but no one could really talk to the warforged monks who operated the heavily armed walking monastery, so if it seemed Living Gond had locked onto your town for some reason, it was best just to run.
