Can ordinary goblins kill the legacy 5e Tarrasque?

No. The legacy 5e Tarrasque is immune to nonmagical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage, so ordinary goblin shortbows and scimitars deal 0 damage even on a natural 20.

Why can goblins hurt the current 2024-style Tarrasque model?

The current model resists mundane bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing instead of being immune. A goblin still needs natural 20s to hit AC 25, but those critical hits can deal reduced damage.

Can I replay the Tarrasque vs goblins fight?

Yes. The article includes an embedded 100-goblin replay plus simulator links for 400, 500, and 600 Goblin Warrior setups.
