FATALITY

Fatality

A Fatality is a gameplay feature in the Mortal Kombat series of fighting games. It is a finishing move that can be used against one's defeated opponent at the end of the final match, after the announcer says "Finish Him/Her." The Fatalities are usually lethal, featuring a brutal and morbid execution of the defenseless enemy character; however, some of them are actually non-violent and humorous, and some even result in the suicidal death of the losing character.
