I second this question.

Not bad, but probably still insufficient

Well, the problem here is that epic is nuts. Most ANYTHING can be taken out by these optimized epic builds of characters. I mean, an adamantine golem, which this thing could crush, is a CR 25, and a non-epic character could take it out easily.

Lavos prototype?

Not a clue what that is.

Lavos is the uber-endboss from the most excellent RPG Chrono Trigger. Old SNES game. Excellent, excellent one.

Among many other things, it was a gigantic starfarer that crashed to earth. Complete with large shell and everything.

Don't forget the MAX/near-MAX damage output by the lavos needle or the fire rain attack. Even lvl 99 all maxed, best equipment, take some notable damage.

And the fact that he destroied the world in... less than 15-30 min?

You could make him a ship for some crazy alien type invasion. Imagine the fear when bizzare creatures start pouring out of this monstosity.

Interesting enough, Lavos WAS a type of spaceship. At least what people thoght was the real lavos.

About the size of craters, have you looked at a map of the world? Or Canada?

The coast of Quebec, where it meets Hudson's bay. Take a looooong look at that area. There is a huge perfectly circular area with a bunch of islands near the area. Now measure that area.

One big crater.

Well I beat him at level 45 with just Chrono in newgame+. I think it only does about 200-300 damage. I'd say the final fight is harder.

I've been confused about this. Was the Earth 40km in diameter or was it just that collection of islands that lavos attacked?
I prefer the latter but it means that the other countries in the world cared nothing for that poor lonely collection of islands! It wouldn't have ben too hard for them to kill Lavos (one bunker buster bomb should do it).

This is... absolutely amazing. Add some creation information please!

[Fako]

While seeing one of VT's old creations come up to kill us again isn't a bad thing, thread necromancy still has the [evil] descriptor no matter what it is used on...

Also, anyone foolish enough to attempt to create this will get killed pretty fast once it awakens...

[Triaxx]

Which is why you dump it in space and point it at it's target before waking it up.

Homebrews are usually an exception to this rule.

[Thrall_Of_Ao]

While I am humbled by the mathematical capabilities necessary to creat (or critique!) such things, I will make a suggestion no one has yet considered.

For range, consider rays (I can picture emrald green lines of death of worse emmited from the tips of the tentacles), and/or smaller creature creation/summoning, great for crowd control.

Good job though, I applaud your effort.
