There's a planet called Falx in the Spelljammer book Practical Planetology. Falx's underground is ruled by illithids, but on the surface roam literally hundreds of tarrasques.
Yet, somehow, this article seems even more over the top than that planet.

The irony?
The 5-headed Tarrasque is actually easier to kill, because you just need to cut off its heads, rather than inflicting ungodly amounts of subdual damage and then hitting it with a Wish.

From my reading of its stats, cutting off all five of the pyrotarrasque's heads only disables it. The five-headed pyrotarrasque regrows its severed heads in 1d6 minutes, at which point it starts attacking you again.

The terrasque strikes me as a creature that could be roaming the outer planes. I'd put it in the outlands, as a creature formed out in the hinterlands. Hunger simplified and given shape.

given that the author of that article is a protein biochemist as his day job, I'm sorely tempted to write him a letter saying the following:
"On behalf of myself and all other gamers within the scientific community, we hope that you will accept our gift, synthesized at high cost in the lab, of the hours of your life that you irretreivably wasted writing that useless and over the top article on the Tarrasque."
But I'm just being mean. I feel bad for anyone that has to slog through all of that number crunching to make those stat blocks.
Good. God.
I don't know which is worse - that someone wanted a "more powerful" form of that damned Thing - or that Wizards decided to ignore the backstory of its creation and make like there's more than A Single One of the blasted creatures.
