History[]

Jurassic World[]

Sometime before the 2015 incident, DNA of the Tyrannosaurid Teratophoneus was acquired by Masrani Global, and the species was cloned for Jurassic World. However, it is currently unknown whether or not it was on display by 2015, but it is unlikely that it was because it was not mentioned on any park maps or further canonical materials.

The clones have pronated wrists like all InGen theropods. Its colors are mainly grey with light grey stripes on the neck, and a blue tongue.[1]

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom[]

After the 2015 incident, Teratophoneus was one of many carnivores on the island, competing against Tyrannosaurus, Metriacanthosaurus, Suchomimus, Baryonyx, Carnotaurus, Allosaurus and possibly Tarbosaurus. However, this species probably lost out to the latter species, and very possibly fell back into extinction. However, the species was still alive in 2018, where it shared its habitat with many other species in the north of Isla Nublar.

In Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Teratophoneus appears as a carcass outside of the old transmitter station on Isla Nublar and as a skeleton displayed in the Lockwood Manor in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. The head on the Nublar carcass is twisted in an unnatural manner, possibly indicating the animal had its neck broken in combat or was dismembered after death. It is unknown if any living specimens were left of this species by the time of Mount Sibo's eruption.

Trivia[]

  • Teratophoneus is one of three Tyrannosaurids on Nublar, the others being the significantly larger Tarbosaurus and Tyrannosaurus.
  • It is possible that the Albertosaurus in Jurassic World Evolution was inspired by the Teratophoneus, as it seemed to inhabit a similar environment on the island to the latter.
  • The Fallen Kingdom Teratophoneus render (On the gallery) was created in Twitter, the head oddly looks different to the dead Teratophoneus corpse.
