Atarka

Atarka is one of the five elder dragons of Tarkir. She is a robust beast with antlers, horns and fur. She breaths green flames.

Atarka's Brood

Atarka and her brood emerged full-fledged from Ugin's dragon tempests and were drawn to Tarkir's mountain slopes. They were driven by hunger alone.

Original timeline

Atarka and her brood were revered by the Temur Frontier for their savagery. After Ugin's death they lost the battle against the clans of Tarkir. No new brood was created and all died. Atarka never reached elder status.

Alternate timeline

In the new timeline, Atarka's barely sapient mentality proved to be the salvation to the Temur, as Yasova satiated her hunger by feeding her mammoth carcasses, distracting the dragons from attacking her clan.

Clan Atarka

The former Temur remain fairly independent, as long as the dragons were fed. Atarka serving-goblins coat themselves with grease imbued with noxious herbs, hoping to discourage their ravenous masters from adding them to the meal. The clan was joined by the Efreet of Qadat (formerly Jeskai Way). They were won over by Atarka's promise to spread the glory of fire to all the world. Atarka is worshipped and fed by her subjects at Ayagor, the Dragon's Bowl
