Indominus Rex

The Indominus Rex, also known originally as Diabolus-Rex or D-Rex, is the nickname given to a genetically-created hybrid dinosaur that is the villain in the Jurassic World movie. It has a mixture of DNA from various dinosaurs including the Tyrannosaurus Rex and a Velociraptor and was a created as a new attraction for the park.

DNA & Abilities

Tyrannosaurus Rex

The T-Rex forms the basis of the Indominus Rex and it looks and moves quite similar to the T-Rex. You’ll easily be familiar with its huge powerful jaw and tail.

Abelisaurs

The Indominus Rex has various features from Abelisaurs which improves upon the Tyrannosaurus Rex and makes the I-Rex bigger and stronger. The dinosaur incorporated DNA from a Giganotosaurus to make it bigger; a Majungasaurus for more teeth; a Rugops for its bony osteoderms and a Carnotaurus which gives it the horns above the eye orbit.

Cuttlefish

Cuttlefish had an interesting ability where it can change the colour of its skin at will. This gives the Indominus Rex a massive advantage at camouflaging with its environment allowing to hide in plain sight.

Tree Frog

The tree frogs DNA allow the Indominus Rex to alter its body temperature. This allows the Indominus rex to avoid infrared detection used by the Park’s security.

Pit Adder

As we know the Tyrannosaurus Rex’s vision is based on movement. However, due to the Adder’s DNA, the Indominus Rex can see in infrared vision allowing it to spot heat signatures from its prey.

Velociraptor

The last confirmed creature is the Velociraptor which gives the Indominus Rex superior intelligence. In Jurassic World, the dinosaur can see weaknesses in its enclosure and actually set a trap kill its prey and escape. The Raptor DNA also allows it to communicate with the Velociraptors and it becomes the Alpha Raptor for a short time.

Unknown Abilities

  • It’s assumed another modern creature was used to give the Indominus Rex opposable thumbs giving it better hand movements such as the ability to grasp onto its prey.
  • It’s also speculated that the creature has some kind of electromagnetic ability to interfere with radio and mobile signals as many times throughout Jurassic World, the characters had trouble communicating via radios.

Jurassic World

InGen SEO Simon Masrani funded the creation of the Indominus Rex as a new park attraction, however the InGen board had more sinister intentions and were wanting to use the dinosaur as a military weapon. Dr. Wu didn’t divulge what DNA went into creating the Indominus Rex as the intention was to create a lethal killing weapon for the InGen. The idea was to deploy the dinosaur at night with infrared vision and was able to stay hidden from enemies (through its camouflaging and thermoregulation abilities).

Indominus Rex

In Jurassic World, it is said that the Indominus Rex killed its sibling at some point. Simon Masrani arrives at the attraction and tells Claire Dearing that he wants Owen to check its enclosure for vulnerabilities. When Owen and two other park employees explore its enclosure, it’s assumed the Indominus Rex has scaled the wall and escaped. Instead, the dinosaur set a trap and ambushed them. It kills the two employees and escapes its enclosure with Owen managing to hide. The security team attempt to capture the dinosaur but it tears them apart. Later, the two kids, Gray and Zach, are in the Gyrosphere and are attacked by the Indominus Rex. They narrowly manage to escape by jumping off a waterfall. Claire and Owen arrive at the old Visitor’s Center and are attacked by the dinosaur. Simon Masrani flies a helicopter and attacks the creature from the air as it runs into the aviary. Many pterosaurs escape and cause the helicopter to crash through the aviary.

Tyrannosaurus Rex

The security team decide to use the Velociraptors against the Indominus Rex but unknown to them, it’s revealed that the creature has Raptor DNA. It is able to communicate with the Raptors and orders them to attack the security team. Owen later manages to reconnect with the Velociraptors and orders them to kill the Indominus Rex. The Raptors attack but are easily overpowered by the dinosaur and seemingly killed. Claire opens up the Tyrannosaurus paddock and leads it back to the Indominus Rex. The two dinosaurs engage in ferocious battle with the Indominus Rex having the upper hand. As it is about to kill the Indominus Rex, the Velociraptor “Blue” reappears and attacks it. This enables the Tyrannosaurus to re-engage in battle. As they push the I-Rex to the lagoon, the Mosasaurus bursts out of the water and drags the Indominus Rex to the bottom of the lagoon, killing it once and for all.

  • Being the dinosaur enthusiast that I am, I can't wait to see what this dinosaur looks like. Hopefully it will be more ferocious than the T-Rex, the velociraptor, and the spinosaurus.

    • D rex?Heck, no. If there was a final battle between tyrannosaurus rex and diabolus rex, I would say t rex would win, even though the diabolus will probably poison it, it's unknown that it will with longer arms and claws than t rex.

          • Lol indom has longer arms,and its arms are stronger it nearly killed the t-rex with them then the raptor jumped in the indom was about to snap the t-rexes neck.

        • i wouldnt think so the spinosauros has 1 major weakness its sail, its sail is connected to its spine, i rex can easily knock him on his back braking his sail and thus the spinosauros would be paralyzed ... i think he was too over-rated in jurassic park 3 the infant t rex would of easily took him out

        • no it would kill the spinosouers it would be hard but i could do what it did to buck trex in jurassic park 3

    • atcily it is more foroshis or powerful than the dinos you said and you know about so tjhink about what you are doing now

  • Why the hell did those stupid scientists make it?! Might as well make Godzilla Or a Spinosaurus-T Rex-Velociraptor-Pterodactyl Hybrid!!!

  • Who's the real killer, t rex or d rex?
    It would be the dinosaur that almost every one of the dinosaurs fans loved to see in the fourth movie. Jurassic Park 3 scene with spinosaurus killing a t rex, it's just complete bullsh*t, I'm okay with that scene, normal reaction, but in my opinion, it would be tyrannosaurus. I give credit to diabolus, the new killer, but I prefer tyrannosaurus rex.

  • It's a f**king bad idea to create something that would bring even more destruction and chaos, or in a better term, extinction upon themselves. Dumb, greedy bastards brought annihilation to themselves. Not the managers' problem, but why the hell would they make a serious mistake and f**king do it. That's bullshiting and screwing around. Good movie, though.

    • Very true, but please stop making rude comments filled with swear words. There's no need to get angry (I do sometimes, but it's mainly just when I'm defending my opinions.

        • That because spinosaurus is useless on battle, there teeth aren't for hunting big prey like hadrosaur they use for to catch fish and hold the fish.

          • Actually...
            Spinosaurus could kill T-Rex, Giganotosaurus, and Indominus rex, it DID eat hadrosaurs, BETTER BELIEVE.

          • You're wrong spinosaurus is tougher than the rest of the dinosaurs because he was the most dangerous dinosaur in the world,because I was watching in billschanel top 10 most dangerous dinosaurs and the spino was first.(If you want more information go to the spinosaurus chapter)

  • i can.t wait to see that movie in june jurassic world with this new hybrid prehistoric dinosaur call indominus rex or d-rex for short with that dinosaur i will command it this one is a rookie but i love dinosaurs please make another two jurassic park sequels please yes there is more dinosaurs

  • In jurassic world i hope the Moasasaurus destroys a subarine. And i hope a pack of Dilophosaurus ambush some park workers.
