Hellion

Hellion is a mainly red creature type used for cards that depict enormous, wormlike creatures with scaly, snakelike bodies, spiky knobs along their sides, and a ring of tentacles surrounding a toothy maw, the danger of which is usually superseded by the fact that hellion maws are often glowing. Hellions are unique to Magic in this depiction, with the closest real-life inspiration being supersized dobsonfly larvae (also known as hellgrammites) given a mouth like a lamprey eel or leech.
==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.
Mechanically, they are rather large (typically above four power) and have devour, haste, damage dealing, or damage amplifying.
===History===
The first creature to bear the type was <c>Volcano Hellion</c> in Planar Chaos, though the <c>Crater Hellion</c> from Urza's Saga, the <c>Flowstone Hellion</c> from Stronghold and the <c>Iron-Barb Hellion</c> from Fifth Dawn were all 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.
