| ~ Owen once again about the Indominus rex. |
The Indominus rex is the secondary antagonist of Universal Pictures' Jurassic Park franchise.
She is a powerful and cruel hybrid dinosaur genetically engineered from the DNA's of various dinosaurs and modern animals. She was supposedly made to be a park attraction, but she secretly was planned to be a weapon made for future wars. After being kept in isolation for years, she eventually broke out and went on a rampage that had effects even after the Indominus's death. She is also the archenemy of Rexy. In Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, a submarine (Marine-01) would collect a rib as a sample to create the Indoraptor for Eli Mills'.
Her vocal effects were provided by Frank Welker, who also voiced Nemesis in The Smurfs, Daisy in Moville Mysteries and Megatron in the Transformers film series.
Her Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Her Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
Jurassic World & Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous Season 1[]
- She made a plan so she can escape, which involved faking escape by scaling the wall.
- Once she reveals herself, she grabs Nick Kilgore and pulls him into her mouth, killing him.
- She breaks out of her enclosure and proceeds to stalk Nicholas Letting behind a truck, then flips it, and then soon chomping down on him.
- She brutally slaughters a Brachiosaurus and then two workers who warn six kids from Camp Cretaceous about her escape. She then makes her best effort to kill the six campers herself.
- She attacked and destroyed Camp Cretaceous, killing several people whose bodies were later found by Ben; this later causes the entire season to take place, along with the start of lasting effects on the campers (especially Yazmina) as a whole.
- When encountering Toro, a Carnotaurus, they have a brief confrontation. However, at the end of it, she breaks his fence, letting him go free. This is a presumable, mutual alliance towards each other. As a result, Toro wreaks a lot of havoc (even in her wake), and later becomes the main antagonist of the first season of Camp Cretaceous.
- When Simon Masrani sends an ACU unit to recapture her, she lures them by clawing out her tracking device and camouflages with the forest to wait for them and then sadistically attacks the unit upon revealing herself to them, killing most of it.
- She scares and chases a herd of Ankylosaurus, starting a fight with one of the Ankylosaurus, she then scratches its leg before flipping it over onto its back and violently breaking its neck.
- She attempts to kill Zach and Gray, proceeding to slowly terrify them before starting to bite down on the Gyrosphere, smashing it on the ground repeatedly, and chases the boys until they jump down a waterfall.
- This shows she even has no qualms about murdering children/teenagers, as she frequently tries to eat Zach, Gray, and the six campers multiple times, all of whom are teens or children.
- She slaughters nearly an entire Apatosaurus herd out of pure sadism, even leaving some alive so they can suffer and not even bothering to eat them to absolve them of their suffering. This action not only proved that the Indominus rex isn't mindless, but also far more hateful and cruel in general then other predatory dinosaurs in the Park's custody.
- Zach and Gray discover a bloodied helmet near the abandoned Jurassic Park Visitor Center, and it is implied to be her doing judging by a destroyed wrangler cart nearby as well. Whether it was her or Toro (the only being escaped who could do such damage), it is still on her rap sheet.
- She also later kills and eats Eddie, even if he deserved it for abandoning the campers, before trying to kill the kids again, as well as Bumpy, whom was a juvenile Ankylosaurus at the time.
- She breaks and enters the Pteranodon Aviary, releasing the two species present there, being Pteranodon and Dimorphodons.
- While she herself is indirectly responsible for Masrani's death, whom was killed by the escaped Pterosaurs, she did unintentionally rally up those present in the aviary for no reason other than sadism and glee.
- She even tried to bite one of the Dimorphodons already escaping through the hole she made.
- While she herself is indirectly responsible for Masrani's death, whom was killed by the escaped Pterosaurs, she did unintentionally rally up those present in the aviary for no reason other than sadism and glee.
- She indirectly also made the six kid campers believe that one of them, Ben, had died after he fell thanks to one of the Pteranodons, being gravely injured in the process.
- She and Toro are also responsible for the six campers ultimately being left behind on the island for six months.
- She intentionally went to the park to continue her bloodshed after noticing the heat signature of the 20,000+ people.
- Although it's unclear what she had told them, having Velociraptor DNA, she tells Blue, Charlie, Echo, and Delta something, whatever it being, it gets them to quickly turn on and attack and kill many members of the InGen team. After the team attacks, she retreats and leaves the Velociraptors on their own, which ended with the death of Charlie.
- It is almost certain the Indominus didn't mourn Charlie's death or cared that she died, which implies she lied and used pragmatic kindness to get the raptors on her side, furthermore proving her intelligence.
- After the remaining raptors redeem themselves, she throws Blue into a wall out of pure spite for refusing to harm Owen, leading to Echo and Delta fighting her. She later kills both Echo and Delta during the fight.
- During her fight with Rexy, she pushes her over, then needlessly grabs her neck and drags her across the floor and slams her into buildings.
- She even tried to make her death slow, dragging her mouth near her neck for the finishing blow, which she would've succeeded if it weren't for Blue interfering.
- While her death at the jaws of the Mosasaurus and being dragged into the lagoon to her watery grave was brutally horrible, it's not played for sympathy, but rather for karma and satisfaction as she deserved it for her sadistic and heinous actions, considering how much of a bloodthirsty and violent creature she is.
Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous Seasons 2-5 Onwards[]
- Even after her death, her actions have consequential impacts that persist beyond the grave.
- In Camp Cretaceous Season 4, Yasmina has a nightmare of several dinosaurs attacking her, including the Indominus, proving how much the dinosaur traumatized her.
- The incident she caused on Isla Nublar caused Masrani Global and InGen to close Jurassic World and abandon the island, allowing the geothermal plants to go off and slowly lead to Mount Sibo's eruption, leading to the events of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, with the dinosaurs of Nublar being auctioned off by Gunnar Eversol or either escaping Lockwood Manor at the end of the film, leading to Jurassic World: Dominion. This also makes her indirectly responsible for the death of the Brachiosaurus that Alan Grant saw, along with any dinosaur who didn't escape the island.
- In addition, the Indoraptor was created by Dr. Henry Wu and Eli Mills partly from her own DNA, who projects his evil behavior from her.
- Her reputation and the incident she caused lead to BioSyn not cloning hybrid dinosaurs out of pragmatic reasons, as they knew the dangers of cloning yet another hybrid dinosaur would likely cause. All of this shows that the Indominus is still remembered for all the pain and misery it caused.
- The incident she caused on Isla Nublar caused Masrani Global and InGen to close Jurassic World and abandon the island, allowing the geothermal plants to go off and slowly lead to Mount Sibo's eruption, leading to the events of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, with the dinosaurs of Nublar being auctioned off by Gunnar Eversol or either escaping Lockwood Manor at the end of the film, leading to Jurassic World: Dominion. This also makes her indirectly responsible for the death of the Brachiosaurus that Alan Grant saw, along with any dinosaur who didn't escape the island.
- Yazmina traveled to a Dinosaur-Free Island due to her PTSD from dinosaurs coming to the mainland, with the Indominus being one of the main causes of that PTSD.
- In Camp Cretaceous Season 4, Yasmina has a nightmare of several dinosaurs attacking her, including the Indominus, proving how much the dinosaur traumatized her.
What Prevents Her from Being Pure Evil?[]
- She has moral agency issues, as in her core, she is literally a hybrid animal engineered by the scientists beyond her control to be hyper-aggressive, meaning her actions may not have been fully under her control. While she can show forms of pragmatic kindness towards the Velociraptors (and presumably, an attachment to her crane), manipulating the former, and genetically being able to remember her abusers, her moral agency is still ultimately impaired to a very minor extent.
- While she was engineered to be aggressive from the start, it’s established that being neglected by her handlers and raised in isolation for years had a disastrous effect on her development and drove her insane, with Owen showing some sympathy for her because of this and arguing that she may not even know what she is. This makes her slightly tragic.
- Also, it's implied she has some connection to the crane that gives her food during her time in isolation. As when Owen hid under it, the Indominus didn't knock it over to eat him. However, this may be not the case given Owen did cover his scent.
Trivia[]
- She is the 50th Near Pure Evil to be headlined.
- The Indominus rex is the only dinosaur from Jurassic Park to be Near Pure Evil, as other antagonist dinosaurs (with a few other exceptations) can't really classify even as villains.
