Howard King
Appearances	The Lost World
Role	Assistant to Lewis Dodgson
Status	Deceased

Dr. Howard King was an employee of Biosyn. He was a biologist, who lost his credibility when his research on blood-coagulation factors failed and funding removed. He later served as an assistant to Lewis Dodgson, and accompanied him to Isla Sorna where he was killed, by Velociraptors, who - strangely - ate his candy bar. He was pinned to the ground as he tried to escape by raptors and the raptors crunched his neck bones and decapitated him. He was the only sympathetic member in Dodgson's team, disagreeing with Dodgson's evil act of throwing Sarah Harding overboard and wishing to return the adult Tyrannosaurus egg as he and Dodgson were chased.

Trivia

• His death itself wasn't very agonizing in the franchise standard, but was heartbreaking due to King's wish to redeem himself and join the heroes group.
• In the film, his character is replaced with the character of Dieter Stark. The other InGen hunters acquired the same fate he shares in the novel, as they are all killed by raptors in a plain of tall grass. His death was also worked into the following film Jurassic Park III, with Mr. Udesky replacing King.
