Indominus rex

"So you just went and made a new dinosaur? Probably not a good idea."

- Owen Grady to Claire Dearing about the Indominus Rex The Indominus Rex is the main antagonist of the 2015 film, Jurassic World.

Description
"She was designed to be bigger than the t-rex."

- Dr. Henry Wu about the Indominus Rex

The Indominous Rex is a man-made hybrid dino created with the genes of other species of theropod dinosaurs (including Carnotaurus, Giganotosaurus, Majungasaurus, Rugops, Velociraptor, Tyrannosaurus Rex), as well as the Cuttlefish and Tree Dart Frog. It is known that the Indominous Rex was designed to be the most dominant of the dinosaurs in size and intelligence, and to be the most menacing of them all.

Role
Twenty-two years after the events of the original film, Dr. Henry Wu, Vic Hoskins, and their research team in InGen formed a new species by using the genes from other dinosaurs spark more attention of their new park Jurassic World in Isla Nublar, which resulted in the hatching of Indominus Rex. Of course, they originally wanted to have two Indominuses, but after she hatched from her egg, the Indominus killed her other sibling before being placed in her enclosure. After being displayed to Claire Dearing (the park's operation manager) by Simon Masrani (CEO of Masrani Global Corporation and owner of Jurassic World), Masrani requests that he would like Owen Grady (a velociraptor trainer and the protagonist of the film) to inspect the Indominus to ensure the park's safety.

Grady and two of the staff arrive at the Indominus enclosure, only to find out that she has escaped by scaling the wall. However, it turns out that the Indominus has actually faked her escape and ambushed the three, with Owen barely escaping. The two staff, however, were grabbed and eaten by the Indominus, who is now loose on the park.

Realizing that this has gone out of hand, Claire shuts down the northern area of the park. Gray and Zach, Claire's nephews were in a gyrosphere, but stumbled upon the Indominus Rex and were almost killed. However, the two escaped by jumping off a waterfall to safety, leaving the Indominus to find new prey. As they search for Gray and Zach, Grady and Dearing soon learn that the Indominus has killed several Apatosaurus without devouring them, realizing that she's killing for sport rather than for food. They enter the old visitor's center, only to be brought a fierce welcome arranged by the Indominus. Fortunately, the two manage to escape alive.

Deciding that the Indominus is too dangerous to be left alive, Masrani decides to take matters into his hands. He and a couple of InGen personnel pursue the Indominus in a helicopter, but the Indominus ruprued into the Jurassic World Aviary, releasing all the Dimophordons and Pteranodons and causing them to attack Masrani's helicopter and let it fall into the aviary, killing Masrani and the personnel in a brutal explosion. This action caused the visitors to be attacked by the Pteranodons and Dimophordons on Main Street, as well as a few infantile dinosaurs to be taken as prey.

Following Masrani's death, Hoskins takes over and plans to use Grady's velociraptors (Blue, Echo, Delta, Charlie) to fight back against the Indominus, which Grady reluctantly tags along. However, Grady soon learns that the Indominus Rex was part Velociraptor, which allowed the Indominus to communicate with Velociraptors and make them turn against the InGen team. This culminated the deaths of Hoskins, the InGen team, and one raptor while the Indominus fled.

The velociraptors eventually rekindle the relationship between themselves and Grady and help him fight the Indominus, but the hybrid was too strong and managed to kill two of the raptors. Knowing that Owen and the raptors don't have the strength and power to overtake the Indominus, Dearing releases a Tyrannosaurus Rex (the same one from the original film) from her enclosure to even the odds against the Indominus. At first, the Indominus has the upper hand against the Tyrannosaurus, but the surviving raptor (Blue) arrives to aid the tyrannosaur, who then fights back against the Indominus, shoving her near the Jurassic World's lagoon. There, a Mosasaurus rises from the water and grabs the Indominus by the neck, and both the tyrannosaur and the raptor watch as the mosasaur drags the Indominus down to the depths of the lagoon, where the hybrid is devoured or drowned to her death.

Personality
Though it was initially believed to be only driven by instinct, the Indominus Rex's actions imply that unlike regular carnivorous dinosaurs, she is driven by vindictive rage and pure sadistic pleasure, giving the fact that she went too far by laying waste to the cage that confined the pterosaurs, killing or severely maiming several Apatosauruses, and relentlessly pursued the human protagonists.

Her sinister nature was the result of unintentional psychological torture that done by her creators, Vic Hoskins and Henry Wu, that placed her in an enclosure that turned out too small and also left her isolated from the rest of the dinosaurs. This, in turn, left her in a more ruthless and murderous state. Even compared with other carnivores (like The Big One), I-Rex was more mentally unstable and deadlier. In spite of this, she was still intelligent enough for convincing Owen's raptors to turn against him temporarily.

According to the film director Colin Trevorrow, the Indominus was designed to serve as an embodiement for 'humanity's worst tendencies' through corporate and consumer excess, created to meet the corporate world's demand for new and unique products in order to provide more entertainment to the park's audiences.

Powers
"It can camouflage!!!"

- Katashi Hamada about it's camouflage ability, before his death

She was given the powers from each of genetic choices such as her high intellect from the Velociraptor but much smarter, her size and incredible strength from T-rex DNA with powerful jaw strength as well, cuttlefish DNA to be given the ability to camouflage herself, and powerful scenes.

She shows her strength in the film, being able to break down the large glass cage for the flying reptiles and able to crush the gyrospheres with her powerful jaw strength. She was even shown to be able take on Rexy, overpowering the T-rex and probably would have killed her had Blue not intervened.

She is said to be able to run 30mph in her enclosure, but she can run much faster outside of her cage. Not only does she possess great speed, she also has amazing acrobatic skills as she has great gripping hands, able to use her tail whip, and great counter balance to make quick turns.

Her intelligence is super high as shown that she made claws marks on the wall to make Owen and the others think she has escaped but it was all a trap for the humans in the cage, knowing they will come to check it out. She was shown to be able to remember the trackers that was used on her so she made her own plan to use it against the humans. As she knew exactly where they were when they created her as in her skin. I-Rex use the flying reptiles to attack the helicopter. She even was able to command the trained Velociraptors to make them on her side to attacks the humans as she is the alpha for having the velociraptor DNA.

She has great endurable body to take many attacks from her enemy's such as guns, Velociraptors attacks, and Rexy strength able to shown not too much in pain and she show off her high stamina able to fight long period of time or long distances to chase her prey.

Having the special power of camouflage to be able to blend in her surroundings that is very powerful to hide from trackers as even shown to turn colors from the DNA of Cuttlefish and Tree Dart Frog.

Trivia

 * Although she was created by Hoskins and Wu, the Indominus Rex serves as the primary antagonist because she was far more dangerous than anyone else.
 * Indominus Rex is heavily inspired by Jurassic Park's portrayal of Carnotaurus, which has the ability to turn invisible & the unreleased Chaos Effect dinosaur toy Ultimasaurus.
 * An early working name for Indominus Rex is Diabolus Rex.
 * Indominus Rex is very similar to The Big One from the first movie; they both display a high level of intelligence, they both kill mainly for sport, and they both go so far as to kill their own kind (the Big One killed five members of her own pack, and the I. Rex cannibalized her own sibling).
