The story of the predatory Indominus rex from the Jurassic Park franchise.

Canon[]

Background[]

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. On May 21, 1997, he created Karacosis wutansis, a hybrid plant. On April 5, 2009, another hybrid was created.

Years after opening, Jurassic World's success was lower in 2011 unlike the previous years of its operation. Simon Masrani attended a meeting on April 4, 2012, in which the board of his company unanimously desired a new attraction for Jurassic World to satisfy investors. After he had gotten out of the meeting, Simon emailed Dr. Henry Wu his approval to create a new species.

Wu eventually got requested by the corrupt Eli Mills to form the first genetically-modified hybrid by using the genes from other dinosaurs, the Scorpios rex. However, after successfully creating it alongside Eddie and his other assistants, the creation proved to be too unstable for Mills to use due to its unpredictable behavior, and when the Scorpios attacked Wu, the latter had it placed in one of his cryogenic chambers, supposedly planning to relocate it in an area where it can't harm anyone.

The I. rex as a hatchling.

Twenty years after the events of the original film, Henry Wu, Vic Hoskins, and their research team, InGen, formed to spark more attention to their successful park Jurassic World in Isla Nublar, which resulted in the hatching of the Indominus rex, the world's second hybrid dinosaur. Of course, they originally wanted to have two Indominus rexes, but after they hatched, the older one cannibalized her sibling before being placed in her enclosure.

Rampaging around the Park[]

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) to inspect the Indominus to ensure the park's safety.

Owen and two of the staff arrive at the Indominus enclosure, only to find out that she has appeared to escaped by scaling the wall. However, it turns out that the Indominus has actually feigned escape and reveals herself, ambushing the three inside her enclosure, with Owen barely escaping. The two staff, however, were grabbed and eaten by the Indominus, who escaped her enclosure and is sent loose to the park.

After escaping from her paddock, the Indominus rex encountered the six teenage campers from Camp Cretaceous, which is located on the other side of Isla Nublar, including Darius Bowman, Brooklynn, Kenji Kon, Ben Pincus, Yasmina Fodula, and Sammy Gutierrez, the latter of whom was secretly sent to Camp Cretaceous as a spy for Mantah Corp. While the teens are on an observation deck, two workers warn them that an asset is out of containment, but the Indominus reveals herself from behind and kills them both.

She then uses her titanic strength to severely damage the observation deck in an attempt to kill the campers. However, the campers manage to use the zipline to escape, but not before the I. rex demolishes the deck, causing the zipline to disconnect and the six campers to fall down to the jungle floor. This also results in Brooklynn's phone getting smashed because it was in Sammy's pocket. After this, the Indominus trashes the campground at Camp Cretaceous before encountering a Carnotaurus named Toro by Darius and Kenji and breaks him free.

Going against Owen's advice to take down the Indominus, Masrani sends in an ACU unit to end the Indominus' rampage, but the hybrid used her camouflage ability to ambush the team, resulting in the deaths of many of the men while the remaining ones fled.

Realizing that this has gone out of hand, Claire shuts down the northern area of the park. Zach and Gray Mitchell, Claire's nephews, were in a Gyrosphere checking out a small herd of Ankylosaurus on the restricted area but encountered the Indominus, who then kicks the Gyrosphere right to the Ankylosaurus herd, causing them to panic and damaging the Gyrosphere in the process. During the time, the Indominus manages to fight one individual Ankylosaurus before turning it over on its armor and snapping its neck with her jaws.

Afterward, she proceeded to attack and break the Gyrosphere after hearing Zach's phone vibrate on the glass surface of the Gyrosphere, nearly killing Zach and Gray. However, the two escaped by running away from her and jumping off a waterfall to safety, leaving the Indominus to find new prey. As they search for the boys, Owen and Claire soon learn that the Indominus has killed several Apatosaurus without devouring them, realizing that she is killing for sport rather than for food. They enter the old visitors' center, only to be brought a fierce welcome arranged by the Indominus. Fortunately, the two manage to escape alive.

After failing to kill Zach and Gray, the I. rex finds the six campers once again alongside Bumpy, a baby Ankylosaurus adopted by Ben. The campers narrowly escape from her in an Asset Containment Unit van since Kenji could drive it because of him having a learner's permit, and seeking refuge in Jurassic World's Genetic Lab. There, Eddie is the only adult present, but he refuses to help the six campers whatsoever, instead of using the ACU van to attempt to escape from the Indominus, thus leaving the teenagers to be killed by her. However, the Indominus crashes the van and devours Eddie. The campers find another van and use it to escape from the I. rex once more.

Deciding now that the Indominus is too dangerous to be left alive, Masrani, taking Owen's advice, decides to take matters into his hands. He and a couple of InGen personnel pursue the Indominus in a helicopter, and during the chase, the hybrid encountered the Camp Cretaceous campers for the last time, not bothering with trying to kill them as she was busy running away from Masrani's helicopter. Soon afterward, the Indominus broke into the Jurassic World Aviary, releasing all the Dimorphodons and Pteranodons in the enclosure and causing them to attack Masrani's helicopter and let it fall into the aviary, killing Masrani and the personnel in an explosion. The teenagers from Camp Cretaceous were among those who watched as Masrani was killed when his helicopter crashed into the Aviary, also being chased by some of the newly-escaped pterosaurs.

The result of the Indominus releasing the pterosaurs caused the visitors to be attacked and injured by the flying reptiles on Main Street, as well as a few infantile dinosaurs to be taken as prey. She is also indirectly responsible for the death of Claire's personal assistant Zara Young, who was attacked by a Pteranodon and dropped and picked up on the Jurassic World Lagoon before the two are devoured by the Mosasaurus.

Following Masrani's death, Hoskins takes over Jurassic World and plans to use Owen's Velociraptors (Blue, Echo, Delta, Charlie) to fight back against the Indominus, which Owen reluctantly tags along. However, Owen soon learns that the Indominus had Velociraptor DNA, which allowed the hybrid to communicate with his Velociraptors and make them turn against the InGen team. After this, the team opens fire on the Indominus, but the Velociraptors were still on her side, which resulted in the deaths of the InGen team and Charlie while the Indominus fled.

Final Battle and Death[]

After Delta killed Hoskins, the three remaining Velociraptors rekindle the relationship between themselves and Owen and help him fight the Indominus, realizing now that the hybrid was only using them as tools or pawns for her own purposes and also indirectly responsible for Charlie's death (due to her being blasted by a missile from a rocket launcher). Infuriated for being betrayed, the Indominus smacks Blue against a building column which knocks her unconscious, only to be attacked by Delta and Echo. Unfortunately, the Indominus is so strong that she manages to defeat the Velociraptors by throwing Delta into a nearby restaurant's grill which explodes and incinerated her, before incapacitating Echo by biting the Velociraptor and throwing her away. Knowing that Owen and the Velociraptors don't have enough strength and power to overtake the Indominus, Claire releases Rexy, the old park's Tyrannosaurus rex, from her enclosure to fight against the Indominus.

At first, Rexy had the upper hand against the I. rex, but the Indominus quickly wounds and overpowers her. However, before she could kill Rexy by snapping her neck (similar to how she killed the Ankylosaurus earlier), Blue, having regained consciousness, arrives to aid the T. rex, who then recovers and resumes fighting against the Indominus, eventually shoving her near the Jurassic World Lagoon. There, the Mosasaurus, sensing the Indominus' presence on the surface, rises from the water and grabs the Indominus by the neck. Rexy and Blue watch as the Mosasaurus drags the thrashing and screeching Indominus rex down to the depths of the lagoon, where the overgrown marine dinosaur drowns and devours the hybrid, finally killing her and ending the Indominus' reign of terror on Isla Nublar for good. With the Indominus' death, Masrani, Zara, Delta, Charlie, Echo and countless others whom the Indominus had previously killed, are all avenged.

Legacy[]

The actions that the Indominus rex had committed are what caused Jurassic World to be permanently shut down, as most of the surviving humans head onward to the mainland while the surviving dinosaurs are set free in the wild again following the hybrid's demise, with the Camp Cretaceous campers still stuck on the island. While being stuck on the island, the campers discover the remains of the battle from Main Street and the Indominus' corpse in the Jurassic World Lagoon, with Darius and Brooklynn in relief that they don't have to worry about the I. rex anymore, or the Mosasaurus remaining hungry because the hybrid's remains are keeping it fed. Eventually, the Scorpios rex is accidentally released by Kenji and reproduces asexually, causing chaos in the natural habitat of Isla Nublar.

Six months after her demise and one night after the demise of both the Scorpios rexes, a group of mercenaries are sent to Isla Nublar with the task of extracting a sample from the hybrid's remains so Wu, a survivor of the event, could create a third hybrid. The task succeeds, it even being witnessed by Darius, Yasmina, and Brooklynn. Speaking of the campers, Yasmina has numerous nightmares involving various dinosaurs killing her. At least one of them involved the Indominus.

Using her DNA, Dr. Wu created another hybrid three years later: the Indoraptor. The Indoraptor, despite being deadlier, didn't surpass the Indominus rex nor the Scorpios rex. After the Indoraptor and Mills were killed, Rexy crushes the hybrid's DNA sample, preventing any future hybrids from being made.

In either way, one thing was clear: Hoskins' intention of the creation of the Indominus rex was so he could use her (or at least a clone of her) for future wars alongside variations of dinosaur hybrids that are yet to be created, rather than be an attraction.

Other Appearances[]

LEGO Jurassic World Game[]

Though her story in LEGO Jurassic World remains the same, there are some changes due to LEGO's adaptation intended to be more family-friendly. As such, she never cannibalized her sibling as she was the sole hybrid to be created, and the Indominus's victims whom she killed in the original film survived the ordeal, either due to them simply fleeing in terror or rather knocked out off-screen and recovered later. Her actions in attacking ACU units and Apatosauruses even omitted as well.

The I. rex was first seen to express her resentment over her isolation by making a sad angry face out of bones so her observer could understand her pain. Unfortunately, her patience eventually slims before Owen and Claire could do something about it, and decides to escape by making claw marks as the bait just like in the film.

She then manages to escape by attempting to attack Owen, Nick, and Ellis. She flings away Ellis over the wall before chasing Nick and Owen, where both manage to briefly distract her with a bunny and some meat. Though briefly distracted, the I. rex eventually chases Nick and Owen again, but was unable to locate Owen, who covered himself with oil whilst Nick manages to escape.

Indominus Lego chasing Zach and Mitchell

The Indominus chasing Zach and Gray Mitchell in the LEGO game.

While wandering at the field, she stumbles upon Zach and Gray in their Gyrosphere and attacks them, which the chase inevitably leads them into a herd of Ankylosauruses. The ensuing chase results in collateral damage on Gray's Gyrosphere by the time everyone arrives in the forest.

One of the Ankylosaurus suddenly moves to attack the I. rex, in which the boys used this opportunity to defeat the hybrid. Overpowered by her enemies, she angrily destroyed Zach's Gyrosphere but lost both the brothers and the Ankylosaurus due to her tantrum.

Afterward, the I. rex regained her composure and resume the pursuit, unaware that the fight caused tracking device that previously implanted within her body accidentally put out (the reason why the I. rex's tracking implant was removed in this way in the game was due to her attack on ACU soldiers who sent after her, and her massacre on the Apatosaurus herd are omitted.

When tracking the brothers into the old visitor center (not long after they left), instead of the boys, she encounters Claire and Owen in the old visitor center. She then stalks on them, but unfortunately, loses them after they hide inside the flowers.

The I. rex is later confronted by Masrani and a couple of ACU soldiers with a helicopter with a minigun when she stumbles upon Jurassic World Aviary. When they fire the minigun on her, she uses a nearby tree as the shield. By the time she does so, however, some stray bullets cause the breach on Aviary, causing the fleeing Dimorphodons to hit the helicopter and cause it to crash. Whilst everyone on board (including injuring Masrani) survived and escaped from Aviary through the door, the unimpressed I. rex leaves just as pterosaurs inside the Aviary escaped and invaded the park.

With Masrani's incompetence in stopping the hybrid, Hoskins takes over Jurassic World and plans to use Owen's Velociraptors (Blue, Echo, Delta, Charlie) to fight back against the Indominus, which Owen reluctantly tags along. However, Owen soon learns that the Indominus has a little of Velociraptor DNA, which allows the hybrid to communicate with his Velociraptors and make them turn against the InGen team. Here, unlike in the film, instead of through blackmailing, she persuaded the raptors through gestures (first, she pointed the ACU soldiers, then switch to gesture carrying a gun before ending it with a crying gesture).

The meaning of the gestures implies that to be explaining her backstory, which makes the raptors comfort her and outraged that the hybrid was treated worse than them. Another battle ensues, resulting in many of the InGen team members ending up injured and one of them nearly devoured by the Indominus who help the raptor. But thanks to Owen and Barry's teamwork, they manage to save ACU soldiers and fire a pepper bomb on the Indominus who tries to devour one of the soldiers, sneezes him out as the humans escape. The raptors later attack the Medical Vehicle being used by Claire but are stopped by Gray, Zach, and Barry. Being overpowered, the Velociraptors then resort to calling for help from the Indominus who was disoriented and separated due to the pepper bomb.

When the Indominus approaches the raptors who manage to surround Owen, Claire, Gray, and Zach, she was shocked that the raptors changed their mind after Blue chooses to rekindle their relationship. Angered with this, she then fights the protagonist in full force, and even both summons a trail of earth-wave and sonic roar that are both avoided by the raptors. Rexy, who is released by Claire, enters the fight. In spite of everyone's teamwork, the Indominus is a formidable opponent, as she immediately sends Charlie and Echo flying, but doesn't realize that she is closer and closer to the Jurassic World Lagoon. Dependent on the player, Blue can help Rexy to defeat the Indominus or only by herself to the Jurassic World Lagoon, which led the Mosasaurus to devour her.

Within the belly of the beast, she discovers Zara and a number of Jurassic World employees also devoured due to chaos by the Pteranodon swarm. Considering that she is lonely and doesn't have many people to interact with, she decides to join them in playing cards.

Her personality is not so different from her movie counterpart, but for sake of the game intended to be more family-friendly manner, the Indominus's villainous personality is toned down, changed into being more comedic, sympathetic, and understanding, having the lonely side as well as man-child-like qualities.

The Indominus began to express her resentment over her isolation and treatments by making a sad angry face out of bones so her observer could understand her pain and loneliness. Unfortunately, her patience eventually slimmed before Owen and Claire could do something about it, and decided to escape by creating a claw mark as the bait just like in the film.

Her motives in attacking humans and even having Owen's Velociraptors turn against him was out of hatred and vengeance against humans for isolating her from the outside world. Although, given that the Indominus was feeling lonely since her birth and the life in her paddock was quite miserable due to being isolated, she also sought companionship. This was shown when she had Blue's pack turned against humans, the Indominus believed that they became her new friends where she was shown helping them attack ACU soldiers, unlike her movie counterpart who left Blue and her pack to die. Unfortunately, her hatred and rage on humans blinded her to the point that she eventually turn against Blue and her pack when they felt that attacking humans to avenge her miserable life was wrong.

It appeared that she eventually let go of such rage after being stuck in the Mosasaurus's stomach and eventually decided to go along with Zara and other Jurassic World employees to playing cards.
