What is the highest DPR damage per round that a monster in D&D fifth edition can do?

Damage per round (DPR) is a measure of how much damage a monster can deal in a single round of combat. The highest DPR that a monster in D&D fifth edition can do is 66. This is achieved by a CR 30 Tarrasque, with its Multiattack action.

The Tarrasque can make 4 attacks with its Claw and 2 attacks with its Bite. Each Claw attack deals 3d6 + 15 slashing damage, and each Bite attack deals 4d6 + 15 piercing damage. This means that the Tarrasque can deal an average of (4 * 3d6 + 15) + (2 * 4d6 + 15) = 66 damage per round.

No other monster in D&D fifth edition can match the Tarrasque's DPR. Even the CR 30 Tiamat only has a DPR of 58.
