At the conclusion of each fight, a mother Pteranodon will fly on screen to take away the human handler of the losing dinosaur in two slightly different ways.

If the latter happens to a human player, and faces a game over, a scene will occur where the mother Pteranodon is seen in her nest swallowing the player character.
