Atarka Heardchaser

"An Atarka dragon’s exhale cooks what its inhale consumes."

Known as "heardchasers," these broodlings of Atarka thunder across the sky, wreaking destruction with their giant plumes of dragonfire. Few can withstand the savagery of their onslaught as they patrol Tarkir to satiate their hunger. They are frequently seen close to dragonlord Atarka, feeding on the scraps she leaves behind.
When Atarka takes to the skies to hunt, these broodlings fly with her. Finding herds of elk, deer, or bison to descend upon. Thus earning them the name "heardcharsers."

Descent of the Dragons by Steve Prescott

Keen Senses. The dragon has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight, hearing, or smell.
Siege Monster. The dragon deals double damage to objects and structures.
Trample. If the dragon moves at least 20 feet straight toward a target and then hits it with a ram attack on the same turn, the target takes an extra 10 (3d6) piercing damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

Actions

Multiattack. The dragon makes three melee attacks, but can use its bite and ram attacks only once each.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (2d10 + 4) piercing damage plus 4 (1d8) fire damage.
Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) slashing damage.
Ram. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (2d10 + 4) piercing damage.
Fire Breath (Recharge 5–6). The dragon exhales fire in a 40-foot line that is 5 feet wide. Each creature in that line must make a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw, taking 42 (12d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
