The tarrasque is by far the strongest critter in ADnD.
This is proven by the fact the you must wish the creature dead after reducing it to -30 hps.
If you read up on wishes, actually wishing for the death of something can have dire consequences, usually to you. IIRC, some DRAGON magazine ecology article stated that this is why the gods have never been able to kill off the tarrasque, they just move it from place to place.
