Indominus rex is a new attraction in Jurassic World. The hybrid 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,[2] Velociraptor[2], Carnotaurus, Giganotosaurus, Majungasaurus, and Rugops,[1] as well as modern animals like cuttlefish and an unspecified species of Tree frog.[2]
Story
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.[5]
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."[6]
Claw marks.
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[7] in the Hammond Creation Lab.[1] Upon Simon Masrani's announcement of the creation of the genetic hybrid, Indominus rex, online ticket sales for Jurassic World skyrocketed.[8]
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.[1] 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.[1] It also had well-developed forelimbs complete with opposable thumbs and a giant sickle claw on each middle finger that I. rex used to grab prey and get in quadrupedal stances. It was able to change color from the cuttlefish used in its creation, which was used as camouflage in hunting.[2] Its jawline was, despite her template being from a Tyrannosaurus rex, very carcharodontosaurid-like due to it having Giganotosaurus in its genetic makeup. Due to this bit of instability, the I. rex's teeth often jutted out at unnatural angles and many were broken.
The tree frog DNA had allowed it to detect thermal signatures and even remove her own thermal signature. Also, the cuttlefish DNA allowed it to camouflage itself. Finally, the Velociraptor DNA used in Indominus' creation gave it a high level of intelligence as well as the ability to communicate with Velociraptor individuals.[2]
Though they do hunt for food, the first I. rex created was shown to kill mainly for sport. This individual also was known to have committed cannibalism, as she killed and ate her own sibling.[2] However, since the I. rex who had exhibited these traits had a rough upbringing these behaviors may not be natural.[9]
Isla Nublar Incident (2015)
I. rex attacking Miller.
Two I. rex were kept in their own paddock that had 12 meter (40 feet) high walls.[2] However, the older Indominus later cannibalized her own sibling, and would also attack the workers of her paddock as well. 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.
That same day, the Indominus later managed to avoid her temperature being picked up by the thermal cameras and left claw marks on the walls to make them think she was able to climb over the enclosure's wall. When Owen Grady and two constructions workers came in to investigate the damaged paddock, the hybrid ambushed them. As they fled, she managed to break through the door as it was not fully shut. The I.rex managed to kill and eat both the construction workers, but Owen evaded her by hiding under a nearby car outside of her paddock and then cut the car's fuel tank, masking his scent. Free at last, the Indominus rex headed off into Jurassic World park, attracted by the thermal signatures of the visitors there.
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. The I. rex traveled south of her paddock having detected the thermal signatures of the visitors in Main Street. She removed her tracker and ambushed the team. killing most of the troopers, including Katashi Hamada, Craig, and possibly other members of the team. She then went into the Gyrosphere attarction and attacked brothers Zach and Gray Mitchell who were observing 4 Ankylosaurus. In her attack, she agitated one of the Ankylosaurus who proceeded to fight back against her though her counterattack ended with her being killed by the Indominus. She resumed attacking the two brothers, but the two brothers escaped her by getting out of their damaged Gyrosphere and jumping off a waterfall.
Shortly afterward, the Indominus attacked a herd Apatosaurus, killing five and fatally injuring one before moving on into the restricted area of Isla Nublar, leaving their bodies uneaten. While in the restricted area, the I. rex discovered Owen Grady and Claire Dearing inside the Visitor Center to which she took the opportunity to attack and chase them. However, her pursuit of the humans ended when she saw the JW001 piloted by Masrani outfitted with a heavy machine gun in pursuit of her. She led her pursuer to the Jurassic World Aviary where she smashed through the enclosure's walls and scarred the pterosaurs inside out of the aviary to the open hole she created. As the freed pterosaurs lead to the destruction of JW001 and attacked the guests in Main Street, the Indominus traveled further into the restricted area of the island.

That night in the restricted area the members of Jurassic World's Velociraptor pack found her. However, she communicated with the raptors and became the alpha of their pack. As the leader of the pack, she commanded the raptors that were under her control to attack the humans that came with them and were in the area, to which they followed this order. Upon the initiation of this order, the InGen Security troopers, Owen, and Barry, who were following the Velociraptors opened fire on the hybrid. She managed to escape the brawl the firefight that ensued as the small arms fire had little to no effect on her, but she did nearly collapse on the ground when she was hit by rocket from one of the troopers while escaping.
The I. rex finally arrived in Main Street where she met Owen, Claire, the Mitchell brothers and the three remaining raptors once again. The raptors, now aligned with Owen's group again, proceeded to attack the Indominus with Owen Grady providing suppressive fire with his rifle. But the fight ends fairly quickly as she easily kills raptors Delta, Echo, and seemingly Blue. With the raptors defeated, the Indominus rex then proceeds to resume hunting Owen and the Mitchell brothers who are huddled inside one of Main Street's shops. She nearly drags Gray to her but is stopped by another dinosaur who challenges her: Rexy, Jurassic World's Tyrannosaurus rex.
Rexy carries out a heavy assault on Indominus, but Rexy is eventually brought to the ground by the hybrid's strength. The Indominus almost delivers the killing blow before she is then attacked by Blue who is still alive from the onslaught. This allows Rexy to return to her feet and grab the I. rex by the neck, pushing her into many of Main Street's buildings, all while Blue continues biting and scratching her. Finally, she is flung to the edge of the Jurassic World Lagoon where the Mosasaurus there detects the hybrid and proceeds to pull her under the water, drowning her.[2]

LEGO Jurassic World
Indominus rex will appear in the LEGO Jurassic World video game.
Jurassic World: The Game
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.
Jurassic World
There are two toys of Indominus that are a part of the upcoming Jurassic World toy line. Retailing for $35,[10] one of the figures has changing skin and can let out a roar upon pressing down on its arms.[11]
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 Target exclusive.[12]
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.[13] 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. Also in the original rumor, Indominus was said to have DNA from a Death Adder snake.
In trailer releases for Jurassic World Indominus's roars were reused from Tyrannosaurus rather the roars heard in the actual film.
