Rulings
If a creature attacks a planeswalker or battle, that permanent's controller is the defending player.
In a Two-Headed Giant game, Hellkite Whelp's triggered ability can target only a creature controlled by the player it's attacking. It can't target a creature controlled by that player's teammate.
