In the Mortal Kombat series of fighting games, a Fatality is a lethal finishing move that can be used against one's opponent at the end of the final match after the announcer (usually Shao Kahn) says Finish Him/Her. While fatalities are not needed to finish a match (once they are out of health on their second life, a single shot will defeat them), fatalities are often used to rub the victory in the loser's face.
