Hellion
Hellion is a mainly red creature type used for cards that depict enormous, wormlike creatures with a scaly, snakelike body, spiky knobs along its sides, and a ring of tentacles surrounding a toothy maw.[1][2][3]
Description
Hellions are manifestations of nature's blind rage. Most are huge, about the size of freight trains. They are mighty, unpredictable, and hostile. Often, the Hellion is the beating heart of a volcano (Caldera Hellion, Crater Hellion, Flameborn Hellion).
History
The first creature to bear the type was Volcano Hellion in Planar Chaos, though the Crater Hellion from Urza's Saga and the Flowstone Hellion from Stronghold were both later issued errata to become Hellions as well as Beasts. At the time of the Grand Creature Type Update, R&D talked about consolidating Hellion into another creature type, but after many days arguing about how to consolidate it, they left it alone.[4]
Notable Hellions
- Ulasht, a Hellion-Headed Hydra.[5] The Hellion type was added later.
- Thromok the Insatiable
