Hellkite Hatchling

{2}{R}{G}Creature — Dragon2/2

Devour 1 (As this creature enters, you may sacrifice any number of creatures. It enters with that many +1/+1 counters on it.)

This creature has flying and trample if it devoured a creature.

Official rulings

  1. Hellkite Hatchling has flying and trample if at least one creature was sacrificed as a result of the Hatchling's devour ability as it entered. It retains those abilities even if its +1/+1 counters are somehow removed. (2009-02-01)
  2. If another creature becomes a copy of Hellkite Hatchling (due to Mirrorweave, for example), the second ability checks to see whether that creature — not the original Hellkite Hatchling — devoured a creature as it entered. (2009-02-01)
