History FamilyUnfriendlyDeath / WesternAnimation

* The ''Series/YoungJustice'' episode "Revelation" contained a scene where a group of firefighters are exposed to Joker Venom and fall to the ground dead '''onscreen'''.

** A ''lot'' of the Famous Studios[=/=]Harvey Toons cartoons have this kind of carnage. Baby Huey was regularly assaulted by foxes and other predators with ''fire axes'' and the like; his indestructibility doesn't make the scenes any less traumatic. One reason why the Famous Studios cartoons are so disturbing when similar stunts from MGM or Warner Brothers cartoons aren't: the expressions on the faces of the perpetrators are ''frighteningly malicious'', and not in that Grinch-Eyebrows Evil Laugh way that Chuck Jones used in his run on ''TomAndJerry''.

*** And who can forget the [[TransformersTheMovie original movie]]? Where most of the [[KillEmAll first two seasons]]' cast has [[DroppedABridgeOnHim bridges dropped on them]] in very graphic and sadistic manners, not counting those who died offscreen. Prowl melts from the inside out after being blasted by Scavenger, Ironhide has his computer-brains blown out execution-style by Megs, Optimus gets blasted and stabbed a dozen times(supposedly the fatal wound was due to a stab) while Hot Rod is held hostage, Kranix and another Lithonian are eaten by the Sharkticons, Gears gets digested by Unicron, the Conehead Seekers get chomped by Uni's robot form, and Ultra Magnus gets blown to pieces (originally was going to be drawn and quartered), [[DisneyDeath although put back together shortly after]]. Shockwave was supposed to be stomped by Unicron, but they cut out the shot. Red Alert was also supposed to die by being shot in the back by Devastator, but that scene was never animated.

** ''TransformersPrime'' really hits the ground running, with [[spoiler:Cliffjumper's]] death at the servos of Starscream a few minutes into the first episode, achieved via 'Scream ''jamming his claws through his chest'', followed by his poor victim visibly bleeding out [[SymbolicBlood energon]] all over the floor with a look of utter shock on his face. The Autobots get some action in as well, with Bulkhead dispatching a Vehicon by essentially yanking its robo-guts out with his bare hands, and ''slowly'' at that. Granted, he was a drone, but it was still rather nasty (even if Miko thought it was awesome). Later episodes have lovely moments such as Tailgate, an old partner of Arcee's, being sliced open by Airachnid. [[SymbolicBlood Energon]] splatters '''everywhere.''' That one probably only got by because they used a GoryDiscretionShot.

* SpongeBobSquarePants in "To Love A Patty" grabs some clams and smashes them into little pieces while still alive. The worst is when he holds one in the air for a few seconds before snapping its jaws and breaking the shell in half. You can see that one's tongue fly off.

* ''{{Herman and Katnip}}'': In one cartoon, the cat catches several mice, ties them to a stick, and starts roasting them alive with an expression of sadistic glee; to make it worse, the cat and the mice were {{Funny Animal}}s of the most human-like sort.

* ''JonnyQuest'' (''Real Adventures'' specifically) was filled to the brim with not very child friendly deaths. For example in one episode the villain '''was impaled on Elephant bones'''. Another villain was shot to death with a machine gun.

* ''KungFuPandaLegendsOfAwesomeness'': In the Episode "Big Bro Po" there is a very NightmareFuel based sequence where Bian's father, Taotie got in his HumongousMecha and plumbed, then crushed Po to death IT INCLUDED BLOOD and then ended with Po On a table with a apple in his mouth and the father FLAT OUT TELLING HIS SON THEY WERE GOING TO EAT HIM!

* KungFuPandaLegendsOfAwesomeness: In the Episode "Big Bro Po" there is a very NightmareFeul based sequence where Bian's father, Taotie got in his HumongousMecha and plumbed, then crushed Po to death IT INCLUDED BLOOD and then ended with Po On a table with a apple in his mouth and the father FLAT OUT TELLING HIS SON THEY WERE GOING TO EAT HIM!

** ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'' put it even further by having actual ''human beings'' dying. The pilote despicts a [[FacelessMooks Forever Knight]] dying by being disintegrated in the explosion of his own disfunctiunnal weapon. As he dies, you can see his skeleton as he is disappearing. As if it wasn't enough, it's revealed mid-season that the [[TheMooks DNAliens]], the [[BigBad Hightbreeds]]' minions who the heroes frequently killed, are actually mutated humans themselves.
** Similarly, Ben10UltimateAlien had some gruesome death too. Those include alien crook Zanmaro being eaten alive by a giant carnivorous worm (though this one is played for comedy); [[EvilClown Zombozo]] being hinted to have buried someone; FallenHero Carl Nesmith killing his doctor off-screen and leaving his deadbody in a cold chamber, where he is found by Ben and Gwen; and, finally, AntiVillain Old George being electrocuted by BiggerBad [[EldritchAbomination Diagon]] until he is turns into ashes.

*** And then there's [[spoiler:Breakdown's]] death at the hands of Airachnid. She lures them into a trap, and then proceeds to ''slice them up''. [[ItGotWorse And then the]] [[OhCrap remains were collected by MECH...]]

*** And then there's [[spoiler:Breakdown's]] death at the hands of Airachnid. She lures them into a trap, and then proceeds to ''slice them up''.

** More drastic example happens to Celestia's pet bird Philomena, which burns to ashes ''on screen'' [[spoiler: - of course, as a [[ThePhoenix phoenix]], [[IGotBetter she rises from her own ashes few seconds later.]]]]

** ''TransformersPrime'' really hits the ground running, with [[spoiler:Cliffjumper's]] death at the servos of Starscream a few minutes into the first episode, achieved via 'Scream ''jamming his claws through his chest'', followed by his poor victim visibly bleeding out [[SymbolicBlood energon]] all over the floor with a look of utter shock on his face.

Granted, he was a drone, but it was still rather nasty (even if Miko thought it was awesome).

* {{Ben10}} had its share of FamilyUnfriendlyDeath as well in all three series, often relying [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman on the fact most characters are aliens]] to get away with it:

** Ben10AlienForce put it even further by having actual ''human beings'' dying. The pilote despicts a [[FacelessMooks Forever Knight]] dying by being disintegrated in the explosion of his own disfunctiunnal weapon. As he dies, you can see his skeleton as he is disappearing. As if it wasn't enough, it's revealed mid-season that the [[TheMooks DNAliens]], the [[BigBad Hightbreeds]]' minions who the heroes frequently killed, are actually mutated humans themselves.

** Similarly, Ben10UltimateAlien had some gruesome death too.

* A few deaths on ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'', which happen by way of impalement, explosion, and being eaten to [[spoiler:Ghost Princess, Clarence, and one of the fruit witches from "Dad's Dungeon", respectively.]] That last one is a rather ''[[BloodierAndGorier bloody]]'' death too; pretty surprising since [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar this show is meant for kids]].

** The show as a whole seems to be making a game of killing off said [[RedShirt Red Shirts]] in the most brutal ways possible in a kids cartoon. So far, the highlights of this trend include a soldier falling into [[OurMonstersAreDifferent EVO]]-Piranha infested water, and screaming before being dragged under... Man, the show once even managed to avoid BloodlessCarnage, although it happened with [[BugWar a swarm of giant insects]], the blood splatter they exploded into was red.

** One good example of a family unfriendly death occurs in a MGM cartoon titled "Wild and Woolfy". In one scene, the wolf villain comes across his old friend Slim, who he hasn't seen in years. He greets him by shooting him -- at point blank range -- in the face, and we see his corpse fall over dead.

* ''The Mouse and His Child'' is best known for the animated film faithfully based off Russel Hoban's strange, metaphoric novella. Both the book and movie are essentially ''[[WhatMeasureIsANonhuman A.I.: Artificial Intelligence]]'' for kids. In the movie, a pack of nasty Rats have an army of enslaved abandoned wind-up toys. When one of them breaks down, Manny (Peter Ustinov), the Rats' leader, gives the toy a mock-sympathetic speech -- and then, ''as the toy pleads for its life,'' he sends for another Rat to demolish the toy for spare parts!
** Manny then goes on to smash the titular characters ''to pieces'' with a huge rock. They get better. A Muskrat the characters had befriended earlier puts them back together -- but we get to watch as he does so. The incongruously cheerful song playing over the scene just makes it creepier.
*** This sequence of events is rather different in the original book. There, the Mouse and his Child got smashed to pieces when an hawk dropped them from a great height. The one who fixed them was Manny Rat! (His HeelFaceTurn is much less ambiguous here than in the film.) As for Muskrat, he was [[HoistByHisOwnPetard squished by the tree he had the mice chop down.]]

* ''[[TheSecretOfNIMH The Secret of N.I.M.H.]]'' Along with all the implied animal deaths at the N.I.M.H. laboratory, The Great Owl rather graphically dispatches a GiantSpider.
** The deaths in the final act were little better, particularly that of Nicodemus.
** It was, however, very satisfying to see Jenner die.
*** Satisfying, yes. Good, no. See Justin's reaction. It was implied in the book that he'd ''wanted'' to die as a catalyst to mobilizing the rats to war as it were. Sometimes villains are more dangerous dead than alive.
* ''{{Disney}}'s {{Fantasia}}'': "The Rite of Spring" featured an epic dinosaur battle where the viewers are treated to the delightful spectacle of a T-Rex (who is little more than a jaw full of knife-like teeth and a pair of mad red eyes) strangling the life out of a stegosaurus under a storm-filled sky. Later, all the rest of the dinosaurs slowly starve to death as they march through an endless desert.
** Come to think of it, what's Disney doing animating the Rite of Spring anyway? The thing is NightmareFuel as it is.
* In ''[[{{Disney/Aladdin}} The Return of Jafar]]''. After [[HeelFaceTurn face-turned]] Iago drops Genie Jafar's lamp into some boiling lava, to quote someone else's description of the scene, "He gets all these shocks like lightning through him for at least a minute or two of film, showing his skeleton, his face in agony, screaming and crying for a long time, burning, and then explodes into ashes."
** Ironically, his final death (at the end of a crossover episode with ''{{Disney/Hercules}}'') had him dragged back to the Underworld after Herc and Aladdin broke his staff in two (according to [[EverybodyHatesHades Hades,]] it's the only thing that can keep Jafar out of the Underworld as much as he wants).
* ''TheLionKing'': The fight between Simba and Scar ends with Scar being eaten alive by his hyena henchmen ([[ShadowDiscretionShot cast in shadow]], but still!).
** This is nothing compared to Mufasa's death; watching him fall, screaming to his death while his son watches is bad enough, but then we have Simba's repeated pleas for him to "wake up" while desperately nudging his corpse is simultaneously the most shocking and depressing moment in the entire movie.
*** This is why ''TheLionKing'', though rated U (equivalent to G) in the UK, carried a warning on the box that it contains [[NightmareFuel scenes that young children may find disturbing.]] Since that's the ''definition'' of PG, one can't help but wonder why it didn't get one.
**** [[AnimationAgeGhetto It's a cartoon.]]
** ''The Lion King 2'' had one of the antagonists die by being trampled by logs because he wanted to show off to his mom, since he wanted her appreciation. The main antagonist fell to her death after refusing help. In a deleted scene, she ''committed suicide''. The fan-base is divided on whether it was best to change it.

* Rasputin's death in ''{{Anastasia}}'' was another offender. His body parts '''melt ''' into nasty green ooze and his cloak collapses to the ground. And then his '''skeleton''' emerges, screaming in agony '''while being shocked by green electricity'''. His final death comes as a relief. Oh and it isn't a KarmicDeath, Anastasia knows ''just'' what she's doing when she destroys the [[SoulJar reliquary that is keeping him alive.]]
* In ''TheGreatMouseDetective'', after a drunken henchman calls him a rat, Prof. Ratigan (who insists on being thought of as a "really big mouse") feeds the hapless minion to his enormous (by mouse standards) [[RightHandCat pet cat]]. This is shown by having the henchman just sitting on the ground, singing to himself, as the cat walks up behind him, picks him up, and...[[ShadowDiscretionShot gulp.]] He didn't even see it coming. (Granted, he ''was'' drunk...). It cuts to a shot of some of the other henchmen taking off their hats, one even shedding a few tears, while Ratigan wipes his precious kitty's mouth with a hankie and asks if she enjoyed her tasty treat- the 'treat' in question being of a species HE claims to be!
* ''TheMightyHeroes'' had the Raven, with a plastic blaster that entombs people in a sheath of greenish plastic. Doesn't seem too scary until you think about the fact that [[FridgeLogic it means they]] [[FridgeHorror can't breathe.]]

** Almost every episode contains one of these in some form or another.

* ''TheBraveLittleToaster'' has two very creepy musical numbers: "B-Movie Show", where a roomful of old appliances sing about being broken down for parts, and "Worthless", in which anthropomorphic cars in a scrapyard sang about their hopeless fates as they were being loaded into the crusher. A crusher that will later menace a ''human'' character. One of the cars even commits suicide when it drives itself along the crusher's conveyor belt so that its end will come faster.
** Only 2? You apparently forget the DisneyDeath of Air Conditioner. The guy has what can only be described as an anger-induced 'aneurysm'...after sparking and screaming for a good minute. Sleep well, kiddies!
** The scene where a lonely flower falls in love with the titular toaster, is quickly rejected, and promptly dies of heartbreak.
** Don't forget the scene from PSYCHO.
* ''Film/TheLastUnicorn'' had several moments of horror that were sure to cause sleepless nights -- Mommy Fortuna's freak show gruesome death at the claws of a harpy and a giant fanged bull made of fire that seemed to trample over herds of beautiful unicorns. Nonetheless, it's a classic, beautiful film well worth the frights and scares -- for adults.
* The Ghost of Christmas Future sequence in ''Mickey's Christmas Carol''. Yes, ''AChristmasCarol'' is supposed to be scary at times, but here, Scrooge ([=McDuck=], in this case) is ''pushed'' into his own grave by the Ghost of Christmas Future (played by Pete, cruelly laughing the whole time while taunting "Richest man in the cemetary!"), into a coffin belching hellfire and brimstone!
* Sykes and his two Doberman cronies from ''{{Oliver and Company}}'', especially the ending where the dogs are knocked off the speeding car onto the subway tracks and electrocuted to death, followed by Sykes plowing head-first into the train. It's telling to note that they switched to the "Villain Falls to His/Her Doom" ending for years after this.
* ''Disney/{{Bambi}}'' (1942). Bambi's mother is shot dead by hunters when she and her son are looking for food in the winter snow. A whole generation of kids was traumatized. Now, movies for kids should not be all sanitized pink happy affairs. But the death of a parent is quite disturbing to any six-year-old. This one is fairly famous for all the denial associated therewith.
** It gets worse. Originally, Bambi was going to go back later, and find his mother ''lying in a pool of blood'', but the idea was scrapped.

* The animation version of ''{{The Animals of Farthing Wood}}'' loved this. One character, a puffed up bullying pheasant, got a MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment when he sees the cooked and roasted body of his wife cooling on the windowsill (A death he inadvertently caused). A set of mice babies is impaled on a thorn bush by a vicious butcher bird, who not only gets a KarmaHoudini but gets to mock the other animals for their squeamishness. A ultracute family of newts is hinted to have burned to death. A baby rabbit is shot. Mrs Mouse (the one who lost her babies) is killed and eaten by ''one of the main characters'', who didn't recognise her. This is just a small selection.
** They didn't go for KarmicDeath either; one of the first real villains gets assassinated by the resident HeroicSociopath.
* GO-4's death in ''{{WALL-E}}''. We're shown how sentient and cute robots can be. Then one of them falls a few stories and smashes on the ground.
** Evil or not, it's still amazingly graphic for a robot.
** It may have been a DisneyDeath, but seeing WALL-E getting quite graphically ''crushed'' in one, swift motion was pretty cringe-worthy.
** GO-4 was Auto's security assistant, he deposited the missing plant into an escape pod and set it to self-destruct. I felt it showed he was an {{Evil Minion|s}} or an EliteMook and being chief security bot made him a RedShirt.

* {{Cracked}}'s [[http://www.cracked.com/article_16795_7-most-terrifying-disney-movie-deaths.html 7 Most Terrifying Disney Deaths.]]

* Another example occurred in the cartoon The First Bad Man, in a scene that is often cut from television the villain Dinosaur Dan during one of his robberies walks up to a shaggy haired caveman pulls up his beard like a curtain and shoots him in the head at point blank range with a non-bloody hole through his head and falls over dead.

* The destruction of NOS-4-A2 in ''{{Buzz Lightyear of Star Command}}''. In just a few scenes his left arm is blown off in an explosion, and he is shortly grabbed by the werewolf Ty Parsec, who growls at him before throwing him. We then see him, graphically impaled on a metal spike, thrash around and scream before exploding into pieces. The only way Disney could have been able to get away with this would be because he was a robot and not a living creature.

* The Disney version of Disney/{{Tarzan}} has BigBad Clayton get tangled up in a cluster of vines high in the trees, and then proceeds to cut his way out of them, all the while the vines are tightening around his neck. Unfortunately for him, he cuts one too many vines and falls to his death. While the film does cut to a GoryDiscretionShot, lightning flashes and we can see Clayton's hanging silhouette on a nearby tree. No wonder why it's the most disturbing death seen in any animated Disney film!
** Before that at the beginning of the movie, we see the mother ape happen upon the treehouse Tarzan's family built. She goes in curiously and we find it a bit too quiet. She soon see why, the place has been trashed and the bodies of Tarzan's family are seen next to a set of bloodied pawprints on the floor.
** Even earlier in the film, Kerchak and Kala's infant son is a little too energetic and curious for his own good when he chases a frog while his parents sleep, and he runs into the leopard Sabor. Sabor pounces on him and the movie cuts to his devastated parents' reaction when he shrieks as Sabor ''kills and devours him.''
* Ursula's death in ''TheLittleMermaid''. Eric comes up from behind her using a sunken ship and [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice rams the mast through her stomach with the point sticking out of her back]], while being shocked by the power of the trident, seeing [[XRaySparks her skeleton flashing a few times]] before sinking into the sea and melting.
** Shortly before that, Flotsam and Jetsom get hit by a stray blast from the trident, and explode into tiny fragments of flesh, bone and eyes. [[PetTheDog And since Ursula actually loved them]], [[MamaBear this winds up pissing her off]].

* In ''HelpImAFish'' Fly [[BatmanGambit tricks Joe into turning human underwater]] and he drowns.
* In ''{{The Princess And The Frog}}'', Dr. Facilier is ''dragged into voodoo-hell --'' screaming and struggling-- by his "Friends on the Other Side" when it's apparent his plan to pay off his "debt" to them is foiled for good. His gravestone, ''oy''.
** It's even worse if you look at how they animated his eyes during that scene. Most Disney villains meet their end with a little gasp and a look of surprise or a BigNo; as Facilier reacts to his talisman breaking with a LittleNo followed by a BigNo, you can see him realize clearly before his friends even show up that he is about to die horribly. Even to adults, it's incredibly unsettling to watch the man have a VillainousBreakdown and ''beg for his life'' as his "friends" kill him. Even Tiana is visibly horrified as she watches.
* Hopper's end in ''ABugsLife''. Lured near a bird's nest, grabbed, then presented to the bird's babies as they gather under him chirping in anticipation with him screaming all the while. Granted it's nature, but still....

* '' TheLandBeforeTime'' has the villain Sharptooth drowned by a boulder into a pond, and the Littlefoot's mother die from a bite to the spine- on screen( mostly shadows), but you can see the bite, see the wound, and Littlefoot and the viewer watch her die.
* [[TimCurry Drake]], the main villain of ''ThePebbleAndThePenguin'' (also by DonBluth) was also dispatched this way with a boulder on the head. Seriously, just imagine this scene being redone, but with blood!
** The boulder crushes him completely. In fact, the underside of the boulder can be seen when it rolls off a nearby ledge. There is nothing on it.

* ToyStory 3. [[spoiler: Lotso lets the toys die in the incinerator. Granted, they get out of it, but if you saw it in 3D, I pity you.]]
** A more straight example would be that poor action figure Sid blew up during his introductory scene in the first film, therefore making him the only character in the series to be killed off permanently.
* Thrax from OsmosisJones dies a horrible, melting death in a glass of alcohol (having previously bragged about killing three people, including a little girl!).
* At the end of ''Disney/{{Tangled}}'', Gothel ends up crumbling into a pile of dust due to Rapunzel's hair being cut.
* At the end of ''{{Dinosaur}}'', Kron as a result of him not listening to Aladar ends up climbing a dangerous ravine and is mauled to death by [[BigBad the Carnotaurus.]]
** Earlier in the film, Carnotaurus, before attacking the nest Aladar's egg is located in, actually mauls a Pachyrhinosaurus to death.
* At the very beginning of ''Disney/BrotherBear'', Sitka, Kenai's oldest brother is killed in a fight against [[spoiler: Koda's mother]], who she corners on a glacier, and as she is about to go after Denahi and Kenai, Sitka performs a HeroicSacrifice and uses his spear staff to break the ice, causing the glacier to collapse into the water below. His antlered hood and his totem pendant are all that is found by his brothers, who were desperately searching the water for him. Later, Kenai as revenge for killing his brother, actually goes after [[spoiler: Koda's mother]], and stabs her to death, prompting Sitka's ghost to turn Kenai into a bear as punishment for his wrongdoings.
* Just right before the race in Tokyo featured in [[{{Cars}} ''Cars 2'']] even begins, we actually get to see [[TheDragon Dragon]] Professor Z kill a captured spy car by blowing him up using a powerful radiation cannon (resembling a camera) in full detail! This actually makes him the second character in the series to be killed off permanently (the first happened offscreen due to the death of a certain actor who played him).
** The possible death of the other spy, crushed into a cube, also qualfies.
* Subverted in ''{{Rio}}'' where [[DragonInChief Nigel]] appears to have been shredded alive by the airplane's propellers at the end, but it's later revealed that he survived only to have lost all of his feathers in the process.
* Also subverted at the end of ''Disney/TheJungleBook'' where at first Baloo appears to have died a gruesome death at the hands of Shere Khan, but then it turns out that he survived.

* In [[DisneyAnimatedCanon Disney's]] TheHunchbackofNotreDame, [[spoiler: Frollo]] falls to his death off of a crumbling gargoyle and into a pit of molten copper. It may be clouded by smoke, but it is certain that he died from the impact only to have his corpse immolated. Not to mention there are strong implications that this was the result of divine intervention.
* ''{{Mulan}}'' had Shan Yu blown to bits by several fireworks lit by Mulan and Mushu.
* ''Disney/AtlantisTheLostEmpire'' has [[spoiler: Rourke transforming into a hideous monster made of crystal as a result of him being stabbed by a fragment of the Atlantean Crystal, and being smashed to pieces by the propellers of his own blimp.]]
** Not to mention [[{{Redshirts}} the many people]] that were killed off over the course of the movie.

* At the end of ''TheNightmareBeforeChristmas'', BigBad Oogie Boogie actually gets his burlap "skin" torn off his body by Jack Skellington, causing all but one of the insects that make up his body to fall into the lava (the one that ''didn't'' is instead squashed by SantaClaus).

* ''Thunderbirds'' has a number of harrowing deaths by implication: the first Fireflash to go missing was full of passengers. Seeing as the second one was intact on the floor of the ocean after crashing, one assumes all the passengers and crew of the first died of suffocation in the sunken aircraft while the aircraft's instruments were reading wildly off course.

* The Disney version of Tarzan has BigBad Clayton get tangled up in a cluster of vines high in the trees, and then proceeds to cut his way out of them, all the while the vines are tightening around his neck. Unfortunately for him, he cuts one too many vines and falls to his death. While the film does cut to a GoryDiscretionShot, lightning flashes and we can see Clayton's hanging silhouette on a nearby tree. No wonder why it's the most disturbing death seen in any animated Disney film!

* '' The Land Before Time'' has the villain Sharptooth drowned by a boulder into a pond, and the Littlefoot's mother die from a bite to the spine- on screen( mostly shadows), but you can see the bite, see the wound, and Littlefoot and the viewer watch her die.

** Waspinator...just...Waspinator...

* ''Disney/AtlantisTheLostEmpire'' has [[spoiler: ______ transforming into a hideous monster made of crystal as a result of him being stabbed by a fragment of the Atlantean Crystal, and being smashed to pieces by the propellers of his own blimp.]]

** ''BeastWars''
*** ''BeastWars'' is a very violent show, exploiting the MechaMooks loophole [[BloodlessCarnage as far as it can]]. Characters are bashed up, blown apart, shot, stabbed... And usually ''alive'' in the next episode. When someone actually ''dies'', it tends to go even further: Tarantulas was vaporized by one of his own mad science devices, leaving nothing but his feet with smoke rising from them. The last we see of Terrorsaur is his desperately outstretched hand slowly descending into the lava. And we'll spare you the details of Depth Charge, Rampage, and [[WaveMotionGun Tigerhawk's deaths]]...
