| ~ Owen once again about the Indominus rex. |
The Indominus rex is the main antagonist of the 2015 sci-fi action film Jurassic World, the overarching antagonist of its 2018 sequel Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and its 2022 threequel, Jurassic World: Dominion, and the secondary antagonist in Season 1 of the DreamWorks and Netflix TV spin-off series, Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous.
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 would collect a rib as a sample to create the Indoraptor.
Her Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Her Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
Background[]
- At some unknown point after being born, she cannibalized her own sibling.
Jurassic World & Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous Season 1[]
- She made a plan so she can escape, which involved faking escape by scaling the wall.
- After revealing herself to the workers inside her enclosure, she eats two workers.
- She enjoys killing humans just as much as other dinosaurs, proving her true cruelty.
- She even has no qualms murdering children as she frequently tries to eat Zach, Gray and the six campers multiple times, all of whom are teens and children.
- She brutally kills 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 while also being responsible for most of the events in the first season.
- She attempted to kill Owen and Claire in the most savage fashion of her mind.
- When encountering Toro, a Carnotaurus, she breaks the fence of his paddock and sets him free after a brief confrontation. 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 kill 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 attempted many times to kill Zach and Gray Mitchell, who are children.
- During her fight with an Ankylosaurus, she scratches its leg before flipping it over onto its back and violently breaking its neck.
- 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.
- It is implied that she killed another worker offscreen, as Zach and Gray find a bloody helmet on the ground.
- She kills and eats Eddie, even if he deserved it for abandoning the campers, before trying to kill the kids again, as well as Bumpy.
- She releases a flock of Pteranodons and Dimorphodons, which killed Masrani (and the two helicopter men with him) before attacking visitors on the Main Street, killing several innocent people, including Zara Young.
- She 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.
- Due to having Velociraptor DNA, she manipulates Blue, Charlie, Echo, and Delta into attacking and killing 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.
- After the remaining raptors redeem themselves, she kills Echo and Delta for deserting her and tries to kill Blue out of pure spite for refusing to harm Owen, their adoptive father.
- During her fight with Rexy when Claire released her from her enclosure to fight the Indominus, she overpowered and wounded the Tyrannosaurus before attempting to kill her which would have succeeded if not for Blue's interference.
- 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 really is.
Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous Seasons 2-5, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and Jurassic World Dominion[]
- 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.
- In addition, the Indoraptor was created by Dr. Henry Wu and Eli Mills partly from her from their 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.
- 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 an hybrid animal engineered by the scientists beyond her control to be hyper-aggressive, and has Velociraptor and Cuttlefish DNA in her, which are two very bloodthirsty species who are natural hunters, meaning her actions may not have been fully under her control. It’s also implied that she ate her sibling soon after birth, so she may not have meant it or known what she was doing.
- 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.
Trivia[]
- The Indominus Rex, alongside the Computer Interface, are so far the only Jurassic Park Near Pure Evil villains not to be a human being, as the former is a hybrid dinosaur, while the latter is an AI.
- She is also the only NPE villain of the franchise to appear in the films.
