When the leader's son is killed by a piranosaur, the colonists wipe out the dinosaur-like creatures. This is a mistake as the piranosaurs controlled the winky population. Without any natural predators, the winkies promulgate at an astounding rate and become carnivorous. They wipe out the colonists.
