Ghalta, "the predator's appetite,"[1] is an elder dinosaur from Ixalan.
History
The opening of the golden city revealed the enormous elder dinosaurs, which were held in stasis during Orazca's long hibernation in the earth. Each of these monsters embodies one aspect of the magic of the land: the giant tyrant Ghalta is a manifestation of green mana and the consuming hunger of nature.[2]
During New Phyrexia's Invasion of the Multiverse, Ghalta and the other Elder Dinosaurs were summoned by Huatli to battle the intruders.[1] Some say they saw Mavren Fein riding Ghalta into battle against the Phyrexians in defense of Ixalan.
March of the Machine
After being summoned by the Sun Empire to ambush the Phyrexians invading Ixalan, the elder dinosaur Ghalta cut loose among the remaining Phyrexian ranks. Seeing an opportunity, Mavren Fein commanded his legionnaires to follow in the elder dinosaur's wake. Any Phyrexians that managed to dodge or survive Ghalta's rampage found themselves set upon by vicious vampire conquistadors. Casualties ran high, but by taking advantage of the chaos left in Ghalta's wake, Mavren was able to deal some serious damage to the invaders.[3]
