- Disney Death: The supposed
tragic death turned out to be this.- This shouldn't have surprised anyone; when we last see the dog during the climax, it's wounded, but it doesn't turn to dust like all other aliens that die in the movie. Therefore, it's obvious even before it pops up again in the last scene that it survived.
- The school does then get blown up, though. Though Sam and Sarah were perfectly fine, too.
- Done again in The Fall of Five. He is only revealed to have survived in The Revenge Of Seven

A Chimaera of Crayton's, lives in a reservoir in the Picos de Europa mountains because it's convenient.
Dust
Adam's Chimaera. Tragically dies during the finally battle saving Adam.
