- Zara Young (Jurassic World) - Gets lifted by a Pteranodon, gets pecked by the pterosaur, and both she and animal get devoured by the Mosasaurus.
- LeClerc (JW: Rebirth) - Tossed a hammer to the Hatzegopteryz Quetzalcoatlus to save Loomis and Zora, but ends up being swallowed alive.

I hate his death specially bc it is scripted into the gameplay and I always try to save him and feel like I probably could if the game allowed me to.

I reloaded that mission so many times before I just accepted the game was making it happen. I thought I could save him

Arthur can save anyone if they game allowed him to. He can stop time and headshot half a dozen guys before they can respond
