Creation
InGen's chief scientist, Dr. Henry Wu, was fascinated with the possibility to create entirely new species by gene mixing, ever since he learned that the inclusion of frog DNA had given the dinosaurs the ability to switch gender. In 1997, he created a hybrid plant.

Years after its opening, the success of the park Jurassic World started to wane and the investors got worried. Masrani's Chief Operations Officer described the 2013 success as merely acceptable. "The world has seen what we have to offer, but they aren't in awe as they once used to be. We need to change that. You can't expect the world's greatest theme park to merely rely on the same attractions. We need to be proactive, thinking of bigger and better things."

Masrani decided to expand Henry Wu's work on hybrids and create a new dinosaur that was bigger, more intelligent and more dangerous than any other dinosaur in the park. Development of the hybrid began in 2012 in the Hammond Creation Lab. Upon Simon Masrani's announcement of the creation of the genetic hybrid, Indominus rex, online ticket sales for Jurassic World skyrocketed.

The hybrid could run up to speeds of 30 mph with its roar alone reaching 140db-160db, as loud as the liftoff and landing of a Boeing 747 airplane. Indominus rex had osteoderms across its body and horn-like decorations above its eye orbits, traits that originated from the abelisaurs used in its creation. The osteoderms were so hard that they could withstand heavy machine gun fire. It also had well-developed forelimbs complete with opposable thumbs that I. rex used to grab prey and get in quadrupedal stances.

According to Owen Grady, a Velociraptor trainer, the hybrid doesn't hunt prey for survival purposes, rather it hunts for sport.

Isla Nublar Incident (2015)
Two I. rex were kept in their own paddock that had 12 meter (40 feet) high walls. Three weeks before their paddock was open to the public, Simon Masrani told Claire Dearing to consult Owen Grady to see if he was interested in taking a job requiring him to inspect the Indominus rex Paddock for any vulnerabilities.

At some point, one of the Indominus rex killed her own sibling and later managed to climb over the enclosure's wall. After her escape, she went on a rampage throughout the Jurassic World park. When Owen Grady and a Timack Construction worker were investigating the damaged paddock the hybrid took the opportunity to attack them. The I. rex managed to kill the construction worker, but Owen evaded her by hiding under a nearby car outside of her paddock.

One of the escaped I. rex's known actions during its chaotic romp was attacking the Gyrosphere with Gray and his older brother Zach still inside the vehicle. She also killed or severely wounded five Apatosaurus in the same enclosure. She was then hunted by an Asset Containment Unit team lead by Katashi Hamada following her via a tracker embedded into her skin. However, she removed her tracker and killed Katashi Hamada, Craig, and possibly other members of the team. After the failed the I. rex was then chased by a helicopter outfitted with a heavy machine gun. The Indominus fled to the ]Isla Nublar Aviary where the helicopter was destroyed by a Pteranodon which in turn created an opening in aviary allowing its inhabitants to escape. She soon traveled to Main Street after it was attacked by pterosaurs where it encountered Gray, Zach, and Owen Grady again and tried to kill them.

Behind the scenes
Director Colin Trevorrow said that it was this new dinosaur that gave him a reason to tell another Jurassic Park story. Indominus is very similar to the Ultimasaurus, an unreleased toy from the toy line Jurassic Park: Chaos Effect that was a hybrid between Ankylosaurus, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus rex, and Velociraptor.

A popular rumor about the hybrid before her name was officially revealed was that she would be named "Diabolus rex" or "D. rex" for short.

Irrfan Khan, the actor who plays Simon Masrani in, said in an interview that an animatronic of Indominus exists for the film and that the hybrid herself will give viewers "a strange feeling".

Jurassic World
There are two toys of Indominus that are a part of the upcoming Jurassic World toy line. Retailing for $35, one of the figures has changing skin and can let out a roar upon pressing down on its arms.

Another figure that is packaged with a Gyrosphere with a mounted disk launcher has a piece of skin that can be slid back to reveal battle damage and pulling the tail of the Indominus figure causes it to bite in a downward motion.

I. rex is also a part of the Hero Mashers assessment where its parts can be used with other toys in the line to make unique creations.

There was a "Brawlasaur" figure of I. rex that was included with an Ankylosaurus "Brawlasaur".
