Bumpy is the main dinosaur protagonist in the animated TV series Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous. She is a female Ankylosaurus that was born in Jurassic World. Born with one large horn, Bumpy first saw Ben Pincus when hatched leading Bumpy to be close to the boy. Later on, Bumpy joined Ben and the rest of the campers from Camp Cretaceous after the escape of the Indominus rex. In Season 2, Ben also nicknamed her "Bumps". In Season 3, Yasmina also nicknamed her "Bumpster", while Ben in Season 3 sometimes called her "Bumper Car".

Physical Appearance

Bumpy possesses a dull yellow hue, accompanied by greenish-blue markings on her armor and upper legs, setting her apart from fully grown Ankylosaurus, which typically exhibit a dull gray coloration. Despite her young age, Bumpy's size is comparable to that of a large dog. Her body is adorned with dull osteoderms evenly distributed, and she possesses a short, stubby tail with a club at the end. Notably, due to her premature birth, the spikes on the back of her head are asymmetrical, with the right spike being larger and less blunt than its counterpart on the left.

Within less then two months, Bumpy experiences significant growth and reaches near-full size as she adolescent size, albeit slightly smaller than other individuals of her species. Her predominantly greenish-blue complexion is complemented by a dull yellow shade on her underbelly and lower legs.

Behavior

As an infant, Bumpy formed a bond with Ben, considering him to be her "father" since he was the first living being she encountered. As Bumpy grew, she alternated between her herd and her adopted parent, seeking protection from the presence of the Indominus rex.

During their time together, Bumpy discovered Ben's lifeless body on the jungle floor. Despite this loss, Bumpy learned to fend for herself, taking on predators like the Compsognathus, who were smaller in size. Bumpy also displayed an ability to find suitable berries for consumption and locate a water source in the river. However, Ben became frustrated with Bumpy always occupying his den for shelter and expressed his irritation towards her.

Their paths crossed again when Bumpy saved Ben from a dangerous encounter with Toro. From then on, Bumpy became a formidable protector, ensuring the safety of Ben and his fellow campers, which made Hap, another camper, uneasy.

It was later revealed that Bumpy was still younger compared to others of her species. The herd of Ankylosaurs treated her as a juvenile and accepted her as part of their defensive circle to protect her from predators. This acceptance into the herd was likely due to the threat posed by the Scorpios rex, which had been excessively killing other dinosaurs. Bumpy, being smaller in size and possibly at an adolescent stage, may have benefited from the safety of a larger herd. It is possible that Bumpy's cognitive development has not fully matured, maintaining a youthful mindset.

Bumpy has demonstrated remarkable strength and bravery by successfully fending off fully grown dinosaurs like Toro. It is possible that this encounter with Toro was her first real fight, although it's also likely that she had faced other predators during the time she was separated from Ben, which could have contributed to her development before their reunion. Furthermore, Bumpy exhibited her courage and resilience when confronted not only by Toro, but also by other dinosaurs and mind-controlled creatures on Mantah Corp island.

History

Early life

Bumpy was created by International Genetic Technologies, particularly its lead genetic biologist Dr. Henry Wu, for the Jurassic World theme park on Isla Nublar. She was one of a batch of nine eggs fertilized around October 11. In her egg, she began to develop asymmetrical scaly horns, and her left horn became atrophied. This is believed to be a genetic trait, but was overlooked by Wu geneticists, who had been tasked with examining all creatures for unusual traits and putting an end to deviations. No one at InGen knew they had created dinosaur perfection.

Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous

Season 1

Bumpy was born in the genetics lab , after only ten weeks, on December 20, 2015, under the supervision of Dr. Wu. His birth is witnessed by four members of Camp Cretaceous Ben, Brooklynn, Yasmina and Sammy (excluding Darius and Kenji, as punishment for entering the Raptor Paddock). Bumpy began to hatch from the egg and camper Ben helped her, causing her to imprint on him. Although the two would begin to spend some time together, the group was quickly forced to leave ruining the moment, as Brooklynn was caught breaking into Wu's lab, with Wu aggressively grabbing her and placing her back on the egg platform.

Wu considered his asymmetrical skull an undesirable defect and scheduled him to be delivered to a herd of Ankylosaurus in Sector 5 after receiving a set of growth hormones. Normally, Jurassic World's baby dinosaurs lived in the nursery for three months while paleo-veterinarians monitored their health; Bumpy was cruelly denied this.

Fortunately, Bumpy was adopted by one of the pack's female Ankylosaurus, who acted as his surrogate mother. For forty-eight hours, Bumpy learned the ways of the Ankylosaurus, how to find good food and avoid bad food, and where to find fresh water and comfortable places to sleep. Their routine was uninterrupted for these two days, during which time Bumpy grew rapidly from his small childish size to a burly dozen pounds, becoming rounder and cuter all the time. When he was two days old, he looked like a big armored meatball. Park staff inspected her in a lab when she was two days old and then returned her to her forest home. On December 22, Bumpy's peaceful life was drastically altered when his pack was attacked by the Indominus rex. Bumpy was hiding when his mother tried to confront the monstrous hybrid. She fought bravely, but was wounded in battle and died tragically. Bumpy hid in the foliage and avoided detection. The Indominus was soon distracted by the Mitchell brothers who had witnessed the attack, and chased them away, leaving Bumpy alone with a ruined gyrosphere and her mother's corpse.

Soon Bumpy reunites with Ben after the group comes across his mother's corpse and joins them as they find the genetics lab where a scientist named Eddie is hiding. He soon tells them of Dr. Wu's involvement in creating the Indominus rex and runs off when he finds out about the van they came in, but soon the Indominus arrives and eats him. Bumpy, who inadvertently tripped Yaz, saved her from the same fate. Bumpy and the campers escape from the Indominus rex and then Toro, and then get on the monorail. However, Ben ends up falling off the monorail after being attacked by a Pteranodons. After everyone jumps off the monorail, she supposedly disappears. However, in the last scene, it is shown that he found Ben.

Season 2

After finding Ben, the two fall into a routine, mirroring Bumpy to find food and water, and Bumpy constantly taking his sleeping spot. Eventually, Ben became enraged and scared Bumpy off, but soon regretted his decision and goes looking for her. Shortly after, Ben developed the courage to stand up for himself and faced Toro. During the fight, a grown up Bumpy showed up and helped Ben fend off Toro, eventually resulting in the two causing Toro to fall off the edge. Ben is happy to see Bumpy again.

They then go after a distant campsite, and overheard Mitch, Tiff, and Hap discussing his friends, which alerted Ben to something amiss. After spotting Hap supposedly attack Brooklynn and Kenji, Ben briefly knocked him out. Brooklynn and Kenji were shocked to see Ben and Bumpy.

Hap led the four to a storage unit, where they find a motorcycle. Brooklynn, Kenji and Hap piled on the motorcycle while Ben rode Bumpy out of the storage unit amidst an explosion.

Bumpy went with the campers into the tunnels, hoping to arrive at Main Street in time to help Darius and Sammy. However, a gate blocks their path, so she followed Brooklynn deeper into the structure to eventually find a backup power facility. She's unable to help, but eventually Kenji managed to restore the power. It takes them a good deal of time, but eventually they were able to gain enough control of the island to reactivate the hologram of a Tyrannosaurus rex, which distracted Rexy and allows Darius and Sammy to escape.

Ben rode on Bumpy with Sammy and flashes lights and screams to scare the dinosaurs into a stampede, and both Bumpy and Ben recover Yaz when her car breaks down. They then flee from Rexy, who drove the dinosaurs right back in the other direction. Bumpy eventually escaped and rendezvous with everyone else.

Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous: Hidden Adventure

Season 3

When the campers leave the island on a boat. Bumpy ran up the beach, making Ben sad. However, the campers were swept away and back on the island due to a huge wave. After getting back on the island, Ben called out Bumpy's name, who finds him and starts licking him.

Ben does not want to leave Bumpy again. However, after the campers learn that Mitch and Tiff's boat is still there, Ben is happy because he can bring Bumpy along with them.

Bumpy spent most of her time with Ben. She actually started to take a liking to Yaz, but is cold to Sammy, though she does later save her from an Ouranosaurus. It is eventually revealed that what draws Bumpy to Yasmina is the food in her pocket.

Later on, Bumpy ran off shortly before the Scorpios rex attacked the campers. After the attack, Ben was gathering supplies and noticed Bumpy's footprints and decided to go looking for her. Darius followed Ben because the plan was to leave the island. After Darius and Ben find Bumpy, they notice that she has found her own herd of Ankylosaurus, all of whom are bigger and older than her. However, the Scorpios rex suddenly arrived and proceeded to attack Bumpy and the herd, which scares Ben. Fortunately, her herd protected Bumpy by surrounding her and using their bony plates and spikes on their bodies and heads to avoid the Scorpios rex's claws and being infected by the Scorpios rex's quills and using their clubs on their tails to scare off the Scorpius rex, eventually resulting in the latter giving up and walking away. Ben then realized that he can no longer protect Bumpy, and that Bumpy is now protected by her herd.

Later on, when the campers come up with a plan to rescue Brooklyn (She had been captured by Henry Wu's guard Hawkes) and get Wu's laptop, Ben led Bumpy and her herd to attack Wu and Hawks, eventually resulting in Wu's laptop being destroyed.

After the attack, Ben sadly said goodbye to Bumpy. The other campers join Ben in hugging and saying goodbye to Bumpy. When Ben watches Bumpy go back to her herd, he smiles. With Ben and the other campers leaving the island after saying goodbye to Bumpy.

Season 4

Bumpy is mentioned several times by Ben, who believes she's forgotten about him. This is disproven when Bumpy reappears at the campsite on one night. She roars out to see if Ben and the others are here but, displays signs of sadness and mourns when she realizes that her friends are gone before she lies down to take a rest all alone.

Season 5

During Mantah Corp's trip to Isla Nublar to capture several dinosaurs for their mind control chips, Bumpy is reunited with Kenji Kon. Bumpy happily greets Kenji and Mae Turner who has heard wonderful things about her. However, Daniel Kon and Hawkes try to take the chance to tranquilize and capture Bumpy. Kenji defends his friend and with the help of Mae, convinces his father to get "a less wonky one" instead. However, Bumpy is eventually captured and taken to Mantah Corp Island where she is put under mind control. Daniel explains to Kenji that with the others' escape, he needs leverage against them just in case they try anything dangerous. Unknowing to Daniel has his actions towards Bumpy made Kenji realize Daniel really is a villain as his friends tried to tell him and has turned Kenji against his father. Kenji only play along to not make his father suspicios waiting for the moment to right what he has done wrong.

Seeing his friend's plight, Ben comes to her rescue, aided by a remorseful Kenji. Under mind control, Bumpy is made to attack and nearly kill Ben with her tail, but she fights the mind control when ordered to kill her friend, giving Kenji enough time to destroy the controller, freeing Bumpy who scares off the mercenaries. As a result of Kenji's role in Bumpy's rescue, he is forgiven and accepted back into the group. Bumpy later joins Ben, Darius, Kenji and the other dinosaurs in battling Daniel, his mercenaries and his mind controlled dinosaurs. When the group is rescued, Ben leaves her behind on the island under the care of Mae Turner.

Two years later, Bumpy pops her head into one of the group's video calls while Ben is spending the summer on the island studying the dinosaurs with Mae.

Behind the Scenes

Bumpy went through multiple iterations, most of which being of multiple different other species of dinosaur (including Carnotaurus, Pachycephalosaurus, Maiasaura, Parasaurolophus, Styracosaurus, Protoceratops, Ceratosaurus, Yutyrannus, Cryolophosaurus, and Allosaurus), before the decision to make her an Ankylosaur was reached.

Bumpy's adult appearance resembles the Ankylosaurus Gen 2 from Jurassic World: Alive.

Trivia

• Bumpy is the second dinosaur in Jurassic World that has asymmetry. (The first being Blue with her blue stripes.)
• Some fans view Bumpy as the unofficial "seventh" member of the Nublar Six.
