What is the strongest non magical weapon in D&D?

The strongest non-magical weapons in D&D 5e are generally considered the Greatsword and the Maul, both dealing 2d6 damage, with the Greataxe (1d12) being a strong contender for its critical hit potential, though mathematically slightly less consistent than the 2d6 weapons. For ranged combat, the Longbow (1d8, 150/600 range) is a top choice, while builds using the Hand Crossbow with feats can also be incredibly potent.

What is more powerful than a Tarrasque?

5e avatar of Tiamat definitely beats out the Tarrasque. The stat blocks I see for Great Wyrm Prismatic Dragon put it way tougher than avatar of Tiamat.
