It's legally possible to build characters who get +72 to their Diplomacy rolls by level 6. As such, you can simply turn ''anything'' into your ally, as long as it and you share a language or other method of communication (even Animals/Beasts like Tarrasque - as Wild Empathy works similarly do Diplomacy). There are methods of communication with most things - Omniglot feat, to telepathy, and many more. Power of recruited creature doesn't matter; enlisting help from kobold or thug is just as easy, as enlisting help from ''Great Wyrm or '''God/Deity (!)'''''.

	As such, pretty much anything can be recruited via Diplomacy Check. Tarrasque has Int 3. Even things as dumb as zombie/insect/ooze (Int —) can be negotiated with - and anything what has Int score at all ''definitely'' can be negotiated with. You can just talk to Tarrasque, turning it Helpful - and then ride it wherever you want. You could tell it to stop destroying things and go home. Or you could point it at [[BBEG]]'s base and use pet Tarrasque as siege engine. Or, also recruit [[BBEG]] via Diplomacy Check and go storm base of yet another [[BBEG]]. Whatever you need.

	So why the clerics? Because the Tarrasque has total immunity to all non-magical physical damage, including fall damage, and total immunity to fire and poison, so you need a magic weapon or magical ammo to scratch it. So why clerics instead of magical ammo? It depends really on the setting. The 5e DMG says this about magic items: ''"If your campaign allows for trade in magic items,"'' Meaning in some settings buying magical ammunition may not be possible. Conversely if your dwarves for example are as forge happy as standard dwarves then across the whole of a dwarf kingdom you could easily scout up a thousand and a half of them, (but at that point your reaching across a border so example your GM to make just that step a quest and a half to even get there support). Conversely if that's not the case you'll have to look else where to get the magical support to cut through the Tarrasque hide.		So why the clerics?

	One final note is remember that the DM can bend the rules. Yes, strictly speaking the Tarrasque can only be able to turn five peasants a turn into a red mist if it get's that close, but if you think your DM is actually going to roleplay this encounter that way you have another thing coming (and that thing being a cup of commoner smoothy).
