Forum:Malefic Truth Dragon Question

Hey, I just have a ruling question about Malefic Truth Dragon. I was on a forum earlier, and there was a debate going on about whether or not Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest can be special summoned by his own effect when a Beast monster is destroyed by battle, since it's during the damage step. I went and looked at his rulings page, but there was an "outdated rulings" warning so I don't know if it's correct. Both Baboon and Truth Dragon activate by summoning themselves when the same condition is met (but for a different kind of monster), so I'd assume the same ruling applies for both. Can Malefic Truth Dragon special summon itself when a Malefic monster is destroyed by battle, or is it only when it's by a card effect? Thanks in advance.
