Indomiuns rex is a fictional hybrid dinosaur from the Jurassic Park franchise, servicing as the main antagonists of Jurassic World (2015), and the central antagonist of the first season of the Netflix series, Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous.
The hybrid was created by modifying the genome of a Tyrannosaurus rex, and Velociraptor, with the DNA of various other theropods.[1][2] Film director, Colin Trevorrow said the mixed DNA allowed the animal to have attributes "that no dinosaur was known to have".[3]
Appearances[edit]
Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous is a television series set during and after the events of Jurassic World. The Indominus also then came across a group of campers from Camp Cretaceous. After killing a Brachiosaurus and two employees trying to warn them, the Indominus tried to get Darius Bowman, Brooklynn, Ben Pincus, Kenji Kon, Sammy Gutierrez and Yasmina Fadoula by tearing down the observation deck they were on. However the campers managed to elude her by using a zipline to escape. It then tore apart their campground before coming across a caged Carnotaurus named Toro and used its great strength to tear down the fence, setting him free
The Indominus soon encountered the kids from Camp Cretaceous again, along with Bumpy, the young Ankylosaurus that the adult died defending, found an abandoned ACU van. Because he had a learner's permit, Kenji was able to drive it. The kids barely escaped from the pursuing hybrid by driving off a cliff and down a steep incline, seeking refuge in a private lab operated by Dr. Wu. Wu's assistant Eddie, who was hiding in the lab, stole the van and abandoned the children, only to be waylaid by Indominus who knocked the van off the road and killed him. After this, the kids found a second van parked nearby and were able to escape in that, despite the I. rex chasing them.
The Indominus rex left a legacy on the campers, A short while after the official closing of Jurassic World and the death of the Indominus, the campers (left abandoned on Isla Nublar due to not arriving at the ferry in time) discovered the remains of the Main Street, the fight that previously took place before, and the corpse of the Indominus in the lagoon. Darius and Brooklyn agreed in relief that they wouldn't have to worry about it anymore (or the Mosasaurus being hungry with the Indominus' remains keeping it fed). they found the remains of the battle of main street realizing the Tyrannosaurus fought the Indominus and that the Mosasaurus had recently eaten it. Afterwards being part of their nightmares after they escape Isla Nublar. In season 4, Yasmina expieriences a trauma induced nightmare involving her being surrounded by the Indominus rex, Toro, a Ceratosaurus, and the Scorpios rex. Darius mentions the Indominus when talking about his time on Isla Nublar to Kash D. Langford.
In Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, DNA is retrieved from a fragment of the Indominus rex skeleton and is used alongside Velociraptor DNA to create the Indoraptor. The bone sample is later destroyed by the T. rex following the death of Eli Mills.
Production background[edit]
Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow said that it was this new dinosaur that gave him a reason to tell another Jurassic Park story.[4] In one script of Jurassic World, Indominus was to be a fictional species of dinosaur discovered in China, but Colin disagreed with this idea.[5]
In an earlier draft of the script, the film's dinosaur antagonist was depicted as a real animal despite being a non-existent species in reality. Trevorrow chose to make the antagonist a genetically modified hybrid dinosaur named Indominus rex, maintaining consistency with earlier films which had generally incorporated the latest paleontological discoveries. He said, "I didn't wanna make up a new dinosaur and tell kids it was real".[6] Fans were initially concerned upon learning that the film would feature a hybrid dinosaur,[7] but Trevorrow said that the concept was "not tremendously different" from dinosaurs in earlier films, in which the animals were partially recreated with frog DNA. He described a hybrid dinosaur as "the next level",[8] and said "we aren't doing anything here that Crichton didn't suggest in his novels".[7] Horner considered the concept of transgenic dinosaurs to be the most realistic aspect of the film, saying it was "more plausible than bringing a dinosaur back from amber".[9] However, a hybridized dinosaur made of various animals' DNA would still be exceedingly difficult to create, due to the complexity of altering the genomes.[10]
Trevorrow said the behavior of the Indominus was partially inspired by the 2013 film Blackfish, saying that the dinosaur "is kind of out killing for sport because it grew up in captivity. It's sort of, like, if the black fish orca got loose and never knew its mother and has been fed from a crane".[11] Fifth scale maquettes of the Indominus rex were created for lighting reference.[12] Motion capture was initially considered for portraying the Indominus, although Trevorrow felt that the method did not work well for the dinosaur.[13] The animal sounds used to create the Indominus roars included those from big pigs, whales, beluga whales, dolphins, a fennec fox, lions, monkeys, and walruses.[14]
Name[edit]
The name Indominus rex is derived from the Latin words indomitus meaning "fierce" or "untameable" and rex meaning "king".[2][15][16] The creature is sometimes referred to as the I. rex for short, although producer Frank Marshall stated that the film crew abbreviated the name as simply Indominus.[8] Among the public, the Indominus rex was occasionally known during production as Diabolus rex, a name that Trevorrow made up to maintain secrecy on the film prior to its release.[17]
Reception[edit]
Rafarl Sarmiento from Screen Rant listed her as the tenth best dinosaurs in the Jurassic Park franchise, stating "The idea that people would get tired of reconstructed dinosaurs quickly is sadly probable, and the idea that an animal would be bought out by corporations is even more realistic. The dinosaur has a pretty sadistic streak to its nature and doesn't act like it's following its nature so much as that it's following what it was engineered to do."[18]
