Indominus rex

"She's killing for sport."

- Owen Grady

Indominus rex is a new attraction in Jurassic World. The was created by combining the genetic traits of multiple species. Some of the known species that were used in the creation of the hybrid are Tyrannosaurus, Carnotaurus, Giganotosaurus, Majungasaurus, and Rugops, as well as modern animals.

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. It also had well-developed forelimbs complete with opposable thumbs that I. rex used to grab prey and get in quadrupedal stances.

Though they do hunt for survival purposes, Owen Grady, a Velociraptor trainer, says he has exhibited the hybrid hunting for sport. However, since the I. rex who had exhibited these traits had a rough upbringing this behavior may not be natural.

Isla Nublar Incident (2015)
I. rex was kept in their own paddock that had 12 meter (40 feet) high walls. The Indominus that was placed there became deranged from having no social interaction with other members of her species and not enough space in her paddock. Her creators noticed this and decided to create a sibling for her. 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, the first 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 and cuts the car's fuel line to cover his scent.

Her escape was not reported to Jurassic World visitors because Simon Masrani thought the Asset Containment Unit would capture her by following her tracker implant. However, she removed her tracker and killed Katashi Hamada, Craig, and possibly other members of the team. She then went into the Gyrosphere attarction and kicked the the Gyrosphere of Gray and Zach while they were in it into two Ankylosaurus causing one of the Ankylosaurs to hit the Gyrosphere with their club tail. She continued to pursue and attack them until the two brothers abandoned their damaged vehicle where they ultimatly escaped by jumping off a waterfall and into Isla Nublar's restricted area. She also killed or severely wounded five Apatosaurus in the same enclosure, but left their bodies uneaten. When Owen discovered this, he concluded that the "I. rex" was killing for sport.

After the Asset Containment Unit failed to capture her, the I. rex was then chased by JW001 outfitted with a heavy machine gun and with Masrani on board. The Indominus fled to the Jurassic World Aviary where the helicopter was destroyed by Pteranodons, killing Masrani. In turn, this created an opening in aviary allowing its inhabitants to escape. She soon traveled to Main Street after it was attacked by the pterosaurs where it encountered Gray, Zach, and Owen Grady again and tried to kill them.

After an intense battle involving Rexy and Blue, the Indominus rex is ultimately dragged in the Jurassic World Lagoon by the resident Mosasaurus.

Indominus rex appears in one of Jurassic World: The Game. It is only unlocked by codes from Brawlasaur toys and can only be used in the battle arena. There are two variants of I. rex that can be acquired, one that is pale like in the film and one that is tan. Regardless of the color, they share the same stats.

LEGO Jurassic World
A figure ofIndominus rex will come in the LEGO Jurassic World set 75919 Indominus rex Breakout. She has poseable legs, jaws, head, arms, hands, and thumbs. Her head is as large as a minifigure and is able to fit one between its jaws. It can be noted that the LEGO 'Indominus rex has white in place of light gray in her color scheme unlike in the movie she appears in.

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. This battle pack was also packaged with the Ankylosaurus figure from the same line as a exclusive.

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". Another brawlasaur figure of I. rex was included in the brawlasaur battleset along with a Tyrannosaurus rex brawlasaur.

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, made of T. rex, Raptor, snake and cuttlefish.

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.
