    Default Best way to make the tarrasque your minion?

    Would dominate monster work? Turning it undead maybe? Is there anyway to do this? I know its "supposed" to be unkillable. But I didn't notice anything that would eventally make it fail a will save.

    Dominate Monster works fine. You could also Magic Jar it. As a bonus, that works even on the PF version that's immune to Mind-Affecting (though otherwise really lame). There's always Simulacrum too. In short, there are ways.

    Has anyone ever done this? Did their Dm throw books?

    Haven't done it in an actual game; for minions, I prefer more useful things (Angels, Fiends, Ethergaunts, that sorts of things - mostly stuff that excels at spellcasting and does things I don't want to waste XP on for free). It is a great body far as being hard-to-kill goes though. True Mind Switch is the easiest way to go for that, though there are tricks with Magic Jar too to make it permanent.
