Episode 8.6[]

A Quetzalcoatlus came into the present after an anomaly opened up at the London City Airport, where it proceeded to kill two airport workers (one was killed off-screen).

When the A.R.C team arrived on the scene, Matt, Connor, Evan, and Dylan tried to lure the Quetzalcoatlus off of the airport's roof, but to no avail. It remained roosted on the roof until an incoming plane came in for a landing. Believing that the plane was another pterosaur encroaching its territory, the Quetzalcoatlus attacked the plane, causing it to crash. As the A.R.C team and paramedics rushed to rescue the survivors, the Quetzalcoatlus returned to its roost up on the roof.

Later, after the A.R.C team had rescued all of the crash survivors, they come up with a plan to get the Quetzalcoatlus off of the roof by forcing it down to the ground, where it will be neutralized. Evan, Dylan, Abby, and Michael head up to the roof to force the pterosaur off of the roof and after a few tense minutes of dodging the pterosaur's attacks, Dylan and Abby are able to get a clear shot of the Quetzalcoatlus and they shoot it off of the edge of the roof with their EMDs. The Quetzalcoatlus plummeted to the ground but was able to safely land on the ground. However, after landing on the ground, the pterosaur was knocked out by the rest of the team and was sent back through the anomaly.

Trivia[]

  • The Quetzalcoatlus in Episode 8.6 is shown to have a short neck, a small head, a toothed beak, and a small, notch-like crest. In real life, it would have had a longer neck, a large head with a toothless beak, and a large flat crest that would have sat on the mid-line above the eyes and nostrils.
