The celestial avian continues to harry Zelthos' attacker, to some limited effect, talons drawing a shallow cut, barely a scratch. The less unfortunate canid has little time to recover as it staggered back from the elbow to its stomach. A third hit from Khan after the combination of his counterattack and the rib-cracking bodyblow would likely have been sufficient to take it out of the fight entirely, but before the monk has a chance, Kali turns her lethal attentions on it. As her tentacles lash out, a canine yelp punctuates Ming-Fu's melancholy song, followed by a whimper, then a complete cessation of breath as the alien's body goes limp in the grasp of Kali's tentacles.
