''Although no one present has likely ever seen it before, this hulking monstrosity is instantly recognizable to anyone who has ever heard the stories of its legendary wrath. There's only one beast that casts its shadow over entire cities, only one creature capable of striking such intense fear into all who gaze upon it. After all, there's only one tarrasque.''

The tarrasque is supposed to be the most terrifying land-based creature in D&D, on a similar level to Godzilla. It’s supposed to be a creature created by the gods to strike fear into even the greatest of champions, or whatever other story the DM can concoct to make the players void their bowels. There’s only one of them, for God’s sake. Instead, it pales before the abilities even of characters who are several levels below its recommended Challenge Rating. This tarrasque is a more monstrous tarrasque that can actually scare people shitless, and actually poses more of a challenge to characters of high levels.

As mentioned above, the tarrasque's origins are essentially up to the DM to decide. And whatever they may be, it's not telling. The tarrasque never speaks and it is unknown as to whether is understands any language at all. All it does is kill, eat, sleep, and repeat.
