Rulings
- 2009-02-01:
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 the battlefield. It retains those abilities even if its +1/+1 counters are somehow removed.
- 2009-02-01:
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 the battlefield.
