Transient Disappearance Pulse

An intangible but perceptible frequency that manifests as a sudden hum, warping the Stegosaurus's form into flickering instability before erasing it from sight. The pulse disturbs the air with a deepening metallic resonance, causing military personnel to instinctively retreat while leaving the Doctor unresponsive, immune to its effects. The creature's dissolution occurs silently, without physical resistance, suggesting the pulse's power lies in temporal disruption rather than brute force.
