"Some chick who used to work here came up with a sorta dinosaur language. I figured, if they know what I’m saying, what’s to stop me from making them DO whatever I want? I’m talking completely controlling dinosaurs. Imagine the kind of power you’d have if these stone-cold killers did your bidding. No one is saying no to you ever again.” -Kash’s villain monologue, Staying Alive

Kash steals the Velociraptor controller from Lana Molina and tries to use them to kill Kon, but the raptors, having already been freed from mind-control by Yaz and Sammy, knock Kash to ground. The raptors drag him into a bush and kill him.
Personality[]
Kash was a cruel, unscrupulous, cowardly, selfish, and impatient man with a short temper, that would stop at nothing to get what he wanted. He showed no remorse in torturing the dinosaurs and using his BRADs and BRAD-Xs to kill anyone or anything that stood in his way, seen by him using the raptors to try and kill Mae. He had no issues with threatening people, which he did to Darius countless times. He did not like his boss, as he ranted about him and possibly indicated that he was willing to overthrow him. He was pretty strong, as seen when he punched a BRAD and it didn't hurt. It was easy to stroke his ego, which Darius did numerous times to earn his trust. He could be seen as gullible, as he was fooled by Darius several times. He could also be seen as a cheater, as he used cheat codes to beat Darius at gaming after losing to Darius in the first game.
He was shown to dislike his boss, Daniel, ranting several times that Daniel shouldn’t be in charge and implying to Darius he plans to betray him. After Daniel confronted him for his actions, Kash tried to murder him, Mae and the kids with no hesitation, showing himself to be a complete psychopath. Even after Daniel spared him and told him to leave, Kash tried to use the raptors in an attempt to kill him and take over Mantah Corp, only to be eaten alive by the very animals he abused.

Trivia[]
- Kash's actions, behavior, and lack of empathy indicate he could have Anti-Social Personality disorder. This would explain why he can easily order someone's death or using sadistic torture to control animals. He shares this trait with Lewis Dodgson in all of his versions, Ken Wheatley, Eli Mills, Soyona Santos, and the comic book version of Peter Ludlow.
- Kash’s character seems to be somewhat inspired by the cinematic version Dennis Nedry, which is ironic, because his behavior is more similar to Dodgson.
- Kash is arguably the evilest character in Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, far more evil than Daniel Kon, being a sadistic psychopath willing to murder both his colleagues and children to achieve his own goals and being especially cruel in his treatment of the dinosaurs.
- Kash is the first person killed by Velociraptors in Camp Cretaceous, with Godinez being the second.
