What would be the consequences?

(We are assuming this teleport trap would work.)

On the outer planes, would there be divine intervention? and/or consequences for the players?

Would the inner planes be a better choice with no divine entities to get upset...? But wish making genie kind live there.

the astral and ethereal planes have too many exits. Not a good choice there.

Finally, what would be a fun place to teleport a Tarask to? Bane's palace? Mount Celestia?

The abyss.

Demons will attack and destroy it, or will be destroyed by it. Either way is a win.

I imagine it gets spanked and sent home. It isn't that impressive in the cosmological sense; how many angels or demons out of an infinite number would it take to kill it?

It ends up in Medieval France, where it was tamed by the holiness of a saint. Then it got ganked by a bunch of peasants. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarasque)

It's like you folks don't know your history. :smalltongue:

There's now a big, dumb animal on a different plane. Not much changes. Planes already have plenty of those.... though the planar version are often smarter and better suited for their enviroment than the Tarrasque. It would fit right in to Beastlands, Arborea, Ysgard or some layers of Abyss, and some planes would very much suck for it... anything too cold, too barren or too weird would be bad places for it to be.

Gods can easily send it back where it came from.... or prevent it from getting near them in the first place if they don't want to bother with it. Some.... like the mentioned Bane.... would propably try to find an use for it... Tarrasque would make for a fine mount or a war-beast, though charm immunity makes that a bit harder. Non-gods too, for that matter. And while it's got decent chance to make the save, Banishment of extraplanar creatures works both ways.

In the elemental planes, Tarrasque is kinda screwed. It'll drown in Water, doesn't have burrow or fly speed to get anywhere important in Earth and Air unless it starts there, and it'll be mostly fine in Fire, as it's got fire immunity, but it may get stuck in a lava lake and still drown. And it still has to eat, so it'll starve to death in most of them.

Send it to the non-magical hellscape that is California, like in that Puffin Forest Video....

Or send it to Florida where it can be elected Governor

Now I can't help picturing the Tarrasque ported to Ysgard and the denizens relishing the new foe for their daily battles.

The planet Falx, where all the other tarrasques live.

Hahaha. It's welcome here. We'll name it Fluffy.

Noo, Fluffy, stop eating Sacramento! Bad. Spit it out.

Drop it into the Gray Waste of Hades and it should just lie down and give up eventually. Just lingering, depressed and purposeless like most things on the plane wind up.

Drop it in the Positive Plane if you can. 50% chance of annihilation, 50% chance it comes back as some form of celestial... ye gods, can you imagine a lawful/neutral good tarrasque.
