“	You made a genetic hybrid. Raised it in captivity. She is seeing all of this for the first time. She does not even know what she is. She will kill anything that moves. She is a predator	„
	~ Owen Grady to Simon Masrani, Jurassic World

“	Okay, I'm not quite sure what you're doing here... other than playing with fire. An Indominus rex? You are creating a hybrid. A dangerous hybrid. You are not only creating life, you're condemning it. Hopefully not your own.	„
	~ Dr. Ian Malcolm expressing his opinion on Indominus rex in Jurassic World: Evolution.

Indominus rex is the primary antagonist of the Jurassic World, a posthumous antagonist of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, and a major antagonist of first season of the prequel Netflix series Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous.

A psychotic and immensely powerful amalgam of various predatory creatures equipped with variety of strange unpredictable abilities, the Indominus rex was supposed to become the latest new attraction in the titular Jurassic World on Isla Nublar. However, the impudence of the park's staff lead to her escape, wrecking a havoc across the entire island and slaughtering hordes of dinosaurs and humans. Eventually, she was devoured by Mosasaurus, and her DNA was used to create more hybrids in her place.

Appearance[]

Indominus rex had a base body plan of a large theropod, featuring large head with forward-facing eyes, horizontal posture, muscular hind limbs and a long tail serving as a stabilizer. Her skin was greyish-white or dark-grey at its base coloration and was adorned with pronounced crocodile-like osteoderms running across her back. A jaw structure resembled a cross between an abelisaur, a Tyrannosaurus and a viper snake, being tall and robust with flexible tendons that allowed unhinging for biting at large prey. Eyes were amber-orange and had vertical slits for pupils, retracting behind crocodile-like nictitating membranes whenever she blinked. Indominus rex's jaws had sunken nasals, an underbite and overgrown external teeth that jutted out her jaw at odd angles. Her arms were large and very flexible for a theropod, with Therizinosaurus-like sickle claws and protofeathers sprouting from her forearms.

In the film, Indominus measured 19.7 feet (6 meters) in height, 40 feet (12.2 meters) in length, and her weight was listed as unknown. A fully-grown Indominus would be 55.5 feet (16.9 meters) in length and stand at 22 feet (6.7 meters) in height.

Personality[]

Raised in an extreme isolation inside a near-claustrophobic paddock her entire life, Indominus rex exhibited highly aggressive and psychopathic tendencies, devouring humans on sight and attacking larger creatures with no hesitation, brutally killing them. She is somewhat brutish in her methods, at first, choosing to charge head-first to the fight with both an Ankylosaurus and Rexy, as well as quickly abandoning her stealthy tactics against an ACU squad in a favor of massacre in a broad daylight. Occasionally, the hybrid would exhibit some sadistic behavior, leaving one of the Apatosaurus alive long enough to perish in extensive agony before Owen Grady and Clare Dearing.

Indominus possesses a frightening amount of intelligence, being able to create claw marks on her paddock's wall and take advantage of her abilities to camouflage in order to make it seem like she escaped her enclosure. Furthermore, if the standard "slash and bite" strategy proves ineffective, the hybrid can think of new tactics on a fly to take down her targets: against Simon Masrani, Indominus broke into a Pteranodon/Dimorphodon aviary and frightened the flying reptiles so that their beaks would stab the pilot while in panic; against more robust Tyrannosaurus, she used her claws to keep her crushing jaws at distance and smash her into her surroundings to weaken the opponent; against an Ankylosaurus, she flipped the thyreophoran onto its back where she could exploit its soft underbelly.

In the beginning, Indominus was quite antisocial and cannibalized her own sibling for seemingly no reason. She was noted to be very aggressive, with her only positive relation being the crane that fed her. It was implied that she sensed Owen Grady under the machine, yet respected it enough to spare his life. Later, the hybrid shows some interest in bonding with her DNA components, such as Velociraptors or Toro the Carnotaurus, refraining from tearing them apart on the first sight and instead carefully mimicking their noises in an attempt to communicate. However, like The Big One, Indominus did not have patience for any disobedience and furiously slaughtered the opposing dinosaurs.

History[]

Creation and Escape[]

Indominus was created in 2012 as a response to Jurassic World's ticket sales lowering in 2011. Two specimens were kept in a small enclosure with a twelve-meter-tall walls, being fed by the crane, and by 2015, the stronger sibling ate the other one and left large slash marks on the walls. This shocked Sal Masrani, the park owner and CEO, so the manager Claire Dearing went to consult Owen Grady to analyze the paddock for vulnerabilities. However, the hybrid camouflaged and lowered her body temperature, preventing the staff from detecting her. After Grady, Nicholas Letting and Nick Kilgore gone inside, Indominus ambushed them, blocking the human-sized exit door, ate the latter two and managed to force larger gate open. She spared Owen, as he hid under the crane.

Rampage[]

Indominus killed a Brachiosaurus and then came across Nublar Six, eating two other workers right before them. The mutant then tried to kill the campers by ripping apart an observation deck they were on, but they escaped on a zip-line. Soon afterwards, she tracked down Toro in his paddock, freeing him in exchange for ripping out her tracker.

Following the signal emitted by a tracking implant, Asset Containment Unit team found Indominus in a jungle. The hybrid shred her cuttlefish-like camouflage, resists all their attempts to capture and kills everyone.

Indominus then came across Zach and Gray Mitchells inside gyrospheres, who were both observing an Ankylosaurus herd. She scared the herbivores away, except for one, which chose to fight. A direct hit from tail club to the head had no effect on the monster, who flipped thyreophoran on its back and killed it with a bite to its head. The hybrid began to crush the vehicle in her jaws, slamming it to the ground repeatedly until it made a hole, which allowed its passengers to escape. They both jumped from the waterfall and after they did not resurface, Indominus left.

White dinosaur encountered Nublar Six again, pursuing their van unsuccessfully. Then she reappeared out of nowhere and knocked the van when Eddie wanted to drive away with it, devouring him. Afterwards, she cornered the kids in a stockpile of metal containers, but narrow spaces made it hard for her to eat them. She gave up once they drove away in another van. In frustration, the hybrid killed five Apatosaurs and left one mortally wounded, the bodies remaining uneaten.

Indominus ambushed Claire and Owen in an old Visitor Center with a Land Cruiser inside, shoving her head in but being too large to grab the humans. She tore through the roof and broke deeper into abandoned building, but she froze when she heard a helicopter circle above, running away. The hybrid ran past the Nublar Six, ignoring them entirely and using the dense foliage combined with her immense speed and thick hide to minimalize the damage from the cannons, eventually reaching the aviary. An artificial theropod roared and attacked pterosaurs inside, sending the animals into panic as one crashed into a helicopter, killing Masrani's co-pilot, which made aerial vehicle crash, Indominus running away from the explosion.

At night, InGen send IBRIS Project Velociraptors and a military squad after her. Dromeosaurs paused upon seeing her and Indominus began to communicate with them, convincing the dinosaurs to attack their former handlers and start killing the soldiers one after another. She retreated when they opened fire, getting up after an indirect explosion from a rocket launcher and disappearing in the foliage.

Indominus reappeared in the Main Street after Blue, Delta and Echo were convinced to follow Owen's commands again. The lead dromeosaur roared in abomination's face, who in response struck her with a powerful arm swipe, sending her crashing against the wall and seemingly killing her. The other two Raptors bite at her back, but they could not harm her and she brutally killed every single one of them. She then tries to reach Owen and Mitchells in a small store, grabbing Zach by his belt with a claw. She was distracted by the sudden appearance of Rexy.

Both theropods attack each other, the elder Tyrannosaurus having an upper hand with powerful bites, but Indominus quickly switches to slashing her face and smashes the dinosaur into a store, hoping to kill humans inside. Rexy was incapacitated, so the hybrid prepared to finish her off, but she heard a chirp from Velociraptor. It turned out to be Blue, who leaped onto her back and slashed at it, annoying the monster and distracting her long enough for Rexy to get back up and smash Indominus into a larger building. Tyrannosaurus crashed her into another structure and pushed her near Mosasaurus lagoon, from where the huge marine reptile jumped out and grabbed the hybrid, dragging the screaming and thrashing monster into the depths.

Posthumous[]

A few months after the evacuation of Isla Nublar, a group of mercenaries sneaked into the lagoon inside a small submarine, where they found a skeleton of Indominus. After drilling a part of it, they send it to InGen, allowing for the creation of Indoraptor.

Trivia[]

The way the Indominus rex was able to control the raptors was very similar to the way the Muddy Bewilderbeast was able to control all the other dragons.
Indominus is similar to Sharptooth: both kill for sport, both tried to kill kids, both possess temper and great strength, and both die underwater.
- Her death is also similar to One-Eye from Speckles the Tarbosaurus, given that they both die to mosasaurs.
In 2023, The Indominus' roar would be used as the background roar for Monster Jam's newest truck and Apex Predator, ThunderROARus. The truck would have the same look and color scheme as the Indominus Rex but the red resembles that of the Hybrid Version which is an action figure called, "Hybrid Rampage Indominus Rex"
