[[caption-width-right:350:''"The key to a happy life is to accept you are never actually in control."'']]
->'''Played By:''' Creator/IrrfanKhan

->''"Jurassic World exists to remind us how very small we are. How new. You can't put a price on that."''

The head of Masrani Global Corporation and the son of one of John Hammond's close friends. Following Hammond's death in 1997, Masrani decided to buy [=InGen=] and work to bring the original dream of Jurassic Park to fruition. As a result, Jurassic World was opened on Isla Nublar in 2005 and has been a secure success since then.
----
* AdmiringTheAbomination: He's both terrified and captivated by dinosaurs, especially the genetic hybrid ''Indominus rex''.
-->'''Claire:''' Think it'll scare the kids?\\
'''Masrani:''' The kids? This'll give the parents nightmares.
-->'''Claire:''' Is that ... good?
-->'''Masrani:''' It's ''fantastic.''
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: [[spoiler:Pilots a helicopter to stop the ''I. rex'', but goes down in the attempt.]]
* BadassInANiceSuit: He's dressed in a flashy business attire, [[spoiler:and pilots a chopper to assist in personally stopping the ''I. rex.'']]
* BenevolentBoss: To the point that he tells Claire that he thinks she focuses ''too much'' on her work and needs to relax a little. Even irritable cynic Owen seems to like him, understanding his motivation better than Hoskins.
* BigGood: Acts as this of the fourth film.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Despite being dressed in flashy suits and being an {{Expy}} of John Hammond as an eccentric and benevolent HonestCorporateExecutive, he is also a ReasonableAuthorityFigure and a helicopter pilot, who himself attempts to stop the ''I. rex'' from causing bloodshed and dies for it.
* TheCoatsAreOff: Removes his grey coat when he decides to pilot the helicopter to kill the ''Indominus rex''.
* DecompositeCharacter: The second half of a decomposite of John Hammond. Masrani is the benevolent businessman who owns the island and the "Jurassic X" franchise. He is also a major fan of the very idea of an island full of dinosaurs who nerds out over his new exhibits, just like Hammond.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Dr. Wu quickly points out to Masrani that he signed off on the creation of a badass new carnivore with a variety of intimidating features but never stopped to properly consider what kind of predator such attributes would create. Despite the later reveal [[spoiler:of Wu's ulterior motives]], he's still [[JerkassHasAPoint got a point]].
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Not with cars -- with helicopters. His piloting is bumpy enough that his poor instructor is seen being physically sick in the bushes after a particularly bad landing. [[spoiler:Amazingly, while he ''does'' die in a helicopter crash, it wasn't because of his piloting skill (or lack thereof).]]
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: arrives via helicopter. Unfortunately, he was the one flying it and is still training, so when he takes Claire to the new ''Indominus rex'' paddock, its movements are a little jerky. While impeccably dressed and clearly ''filthy''-rich, he's genuinely polite and friendly to everyone. He also references John Hammond, not worrying too much about the rising costs of the park so much as making sure the guests are entertained. He even mentions how Hammond "entrusted me with his legacy," and obviously wants to honor Hammond's original dream.
* ForHappiness: Like Hammond before him, Masrani wants to use Jurassic World to fascinate and delight people, and is more concerned with whether or not his guests are enjoying themselves and having fun than he is with profits. He also makes sure to ask if the animals are happy, too.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Seems to see himself as one, seeing as he wants to know if the animals are happy as well as the park's guests, and claims that he can tell they're happy just by looking into their eyes. [[spoiler:Sadly, this doesn't save him when the ''I. rex'' sics a bunch of very ''un''happy ''Pteranodons'' on him]].
* FrontlineGeneral: Considers himself this, and points it out to the security team when, as the only (semi) trained pilot available, he personally pilots the attack helicopter that goes after the ''I. rex''.
* GenreBlind: He thinks that the ''I. rex's'' situation should be kept a secret so that she won't cause a panic in a highly populated park, and asserts that the ACU's track record hasn't failed them before. Clearly, he should have prepared for the worst.
* HonestCorporateExecutive: Much like Hammond before him, Masrani sincerely wants to delight people who come to his dinosaur theme park, with profit being a peripheral motive. When he asks Claire how the park is doing, she starts to responds with profit margins, but he restates that he actually wants to know if the visitors and animals are happy. While his company certainly is involved in some amoral endeavors, the sheer magnitude of his wealth and size of his MegaCorp mean that he can’t possibly be aware of everything that goes on under his banner, a fact that Hoskins acknowledges ("He's so diversified, he probably doesn’t even know ''half'' of the crap he owns!"). Later, when the ''I. rex'' is revealed to be far deadlier than necessary for a family park, he refuses to turn a blind eye to Wu's research and calls for an investigation. ''Then'' he goes in the helicopter with the machine gunner and the co-pilot to [[spoiler: stop the ''I. rex'']]. It doesn't exactly work too well, but he gives it a good try.
* {{Hypocrite}}: He dismisses Claire's requests to make some budget cuts to Jurassic World quoting that John Hammond said "Spare no expenses". However, he refuses to let the ''Indominus rex'' when she breaks free get hunted with lethal weapons claiming that they have $28 million invested in her.
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Realizes ''much'' faster than anyone else that the ''I. rex'' simply cannot be allowed to escape. He does not hesitate to order that the main door to its enclosure be shut, even though there are people inside that the ''I. rex'' will kill if they can't get out. The hesitation by the people ordered to close the door bears this out; their concern for the people inside meant the door had not fully closed by the time the ''I. rex'' reached it, and that small gap was all the creature needed to force its way out.
* NiceGuy: Quite possibly the nicest character in the franchise. He promised Hammond on his deathbed that he'd make his dream a reality, is friendly to his staff, makes it his top priority to make sure they're all safe and the first thing he asks Claire when they meet at the beginning of the film is whether or not the guests ''and [[FriendToAllLivingThings animals]]'' [[ForHappiness are happy]]. The only time he gets angry is towards Vic Hoskins and later [[spoiler:Henry Wu]] for their involvement in the ''I. rex's'' rampage.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler: While piloting the helicopter to hunt down the ''I. rex'', he accidentally chases the ''I. rex'' towards the Aviary, causing the ''I. rex'' to break in and scare all the pterosaurs out of their enclosure. The ''Pteranodons'' and ''Dimorphodons'' subsequently killed Masrani and his crew, and then proceed to swarm upon the tourists gathered around the main plaza.]]
* NonIdleRich: He's super rich (InUniverse, [[FictionFiveHundred the eighth richest man in the world]]), and yet still manages the time to visit the park while earning his wings.
* ThePromise: He mentions at one point that he promised Hammond on his deathbed that he would run the park right. Ten years of the park running without incident (and [[BorrowedCatchPhrase sparing no expense]]) show that he did a good job fulfilling it until the events of the film.
* ProperlyParanoid:
** Unlike Claire, he ''immediately'' picks up that things with the ''I. rex'' are not right: her paddock's walls had to be extended, she has to be fed with a crane since she almost ate her human feeders (and they threatened to quit), she ate her sibling, and she tried to break the glass of the viewing wall, which is why he asks that Owen be brought in for a second opinion about her security.
** When Wu becomes all defensive and unrepentant about the ''I. rex'', Masrani gets suspicious and tells him that he's ordering all work at Hammond Labs to be suspended pending an investigation.
* RealMenWearPink: Spends the whole film in a pink dress shirt.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He's very reasonable in judgment and is willing to listen to his employees even if there are problems.
* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:He goes down in his helicopter]] trying to stop the ''I. rex'' from causing havoc.
* StunnedSilence: Masrani is already getting cold feet on the ''I. rex'' when he sees the construction workers building higher walls, a cracked window in the viewing pen, and the ''Indominus rex'' itself. It's when Clarie tells him that the ''I. rex'' ate her sibling that he becomes stunned, and the expression on his face shows a justified worry of their new attraction and the enclosure containing it.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: He fills almost exactly the same role as Hammond did, albeit Simon is younger and more successful in realizing the fruition of Hammond's dream.

!!Vic Hoskins
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/acbe0314e86be047486350a919e002c4.jpg]][[caption-width-right:350:''"War is part of nature."'']]
->'''Played By:''' Creator/VincentDOnofrio

->''"Every living thing in this jungle ... is trying to murder the other. Mother Nature's way of testing her creations. Refining the pecking order. War is a struggle. Struggle breeds greatness. Without that ... we end up with places like this, charge seven bucks a soda."''

The head of security operations for [=InGen=]. He has prior experience dealing with dinosaurs, [[http://www.masraniglobal.com/about/divisions/ingen/security/index.html having overseen the "cleanup" operation]] of [[Film/JurassicParkIII Pteranodon flying over Canada in 2001.]] On top of making sure the tourists are safe on Isla Nublar, his subordinates are also tasked with keeping poachers off of Isla Sorna.
----
* AdmiringTheAbomination: Although he sees the raptors as tools more than anything else, he seems rather awe-inspired by them all the same. He tentatively asks Barry if he can touch a restrained Delta, which he does with all the jittery excitement of a little boy. One could even say he uses the raptors like [[CallBack a kid that's found]] [[Film/JurassicPark his dad's gun.]]
* AffablyEvil: He is always polite and and treats everyone like an old friend even when explaining his plans. When talking to Owen despite clearly having bad intentions he manages to keep a smile and humor on. When [[spoiler: Masrani dies he at least seems sorrowful and calls it a tragedy. He also does not punch Owen back after Owen hits him. He clearly was not about to attack or harm Owen, Claire and the boys before Delta came.]]
* AnimalsHateHim: The raptors, in this case. Blue and Delta start snarling and shaking their cages whenever Hoskins shows up, despite being calm and docile when Owen, Barry, or even the other staff are with them. Delta especially seems to dislike Hoskins, and she later [[spoiler: pursues and disembowels him in the Creation Lab]]. Oddly enough, averted in his backstory. He mentions at one point having rescued a wolf puppy and raised it, even allowing it to sleep on his bed ... [[BreadEggsMilkSquick and said wolf ripping off his wife's arm]] [[NoodleIncident when she tried to attack him with a knife for an unmentioned reason]]. He adds that he ''did not'' put the wolf down after it did that.
* AssholeVictim: Downpalyed. While he may not have done anything truly evil, it's hard to feel sorry for him after his foolish and nefarious schemes [[spoiler:to engineer weaponized dinosaurs fails, and he gets torn apart by the raptor Delta after spending the whole film planning to exploit her and all her sisters for unethical profit]].
* BeardOfEvil: Not exactly evil but as the most prominent human villain, he sports a nice example of the stereotypical "villainous goatee", just in case it wasn't already obvious enough that [[HateSink we're not supposed to like him]].
* BigBadEnsemble: With the ''I. rex''. He's trying to exploit the dinosaurs for profit as biological weapons of war. [[spoiler: He ends up killed by a raptor she's manipulated to go crazy and she ends up taking up the role as the BigBad in the climax.]]
* BloodKnight: He considers war to be the natural state of the world.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler: His arm is chomped on by a Raptor and possibly torn off, before he's ripped apart and devoured by the animal. As greedy as he was, let's face it, he really didn't deserve such a horrific end.]]
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Hoskins starts talking about how war is the natural state of the world and that Velociraptors could be the perfect field weapon in modern warfare, in contrast to Owen and Barry, who both genuinely care for the raptors' well-being and think attempting to control wild animals is insane. Hoskins, on the other hand, comes across as uncaring and obsessed with the animals' applications, not the animals themselves.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He's clearly upset when Masrani [[spoiler: dies.]] While it's partially horror with how bad his plans have failed he's also horrified watching his men get torn apart.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: If his backstory is anything he rescued a wolf pup and truly did care for it even going as far as to not put it down after it mauled his wife to protect him.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Hoskins is pretty sure that Masrani has skeletons in his closet, while Owen (who's just as cynical but much more moral) understands that Masrani just wants to teach people some humility. Hoskins can't conceive of Masrani being an HonestCorporateExecutive; Masrani has some shady people working for him (Hoskins himself is a perfect example) but that can be attributed to naivete more than anything.
* ExitPursuedByABear: More like "Exit, Pursued by a [[spoiler:''Velociraptor'']]."
* {{Expy}}: Of Dennis Nedry from the first film and Peter Ludlow from ''The Lost World''. All three are greedy [=InGen=] employees who see dinosaurs as nothing more than their property. [[spoiler: Both Ludlow and Hoskins lead a mercenary force onto a dinosaur-infested island to further their goals, and all three meet their ends at the claws and teeth of the very animals they want to exploit.]]
* FailedASpotCheck: [[spoiler:He failed to notice a raptor breach in the lab until it was too late.]]
* FatalFlaw: His manipulative nature and exploiting the ''Velociraptors'' for his evil deeds [[spoiler:causes him to be eaten by one]].
* FatBastard: Given he's a slimy character played by the chubby Vincent D'Onofrio, a natural.
* {{Foil}}: To Owen. While Owen respects the ''Velociraptors'', Hoskins treats them like tools, viewing them as foot soldiers he could sell for cash.
* GenreBlindness: He wholly believes that genetically-recreated dinosaurs are little more than business assets and property to be exploited for all they're worth. There are no fewer than [[Film/JurassicPark 3]] [[Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark prior]] [[Film/JurassicParkIII movies]] that clearly outline why this is a horrible mindset to possess.
* {{Greed}}: Hoskins has dollar signs in his eyes when he sees Owen's work with the raptors. He believes they have highly promising military applications, while Owen knows that taming a dinosaur isn't as simple as Hoskins thinks it is. [[spoiler: Unsurprisingly, the ''Velociraptors'' choose to eat him, not Owen.]]
* HateSink: He's a despicable human being who exists to give the audience a human character to root against, because the deadly dinosaurs can only be terrifying as a natural threat.
* JerkassHasAPoint:
** While Hoskins' approach is utterly contemptible, the raptors are, indeed, quite capable predators. They would absolutely be ideal for several military applications, and could likely save (and take) lots of lives if they could be properly trained. His problem is he thinks that the raptors take orders from anyone, when in reality Barry and Owen had to train and raise them from birth, and while the raptors respect Owen and Barry they do not hesitate to kill other humans should the opportunity arise. He also has a point that using raptors to fight the enemies instead of humans would reduce deaths.
** Also, when Hoskins takes control of the situation by sending in what amounts to a [=PMC=] after the dinosaurs, Hoskins notes to Owen that innocent people are going to die if nothing else is done, since rescue won't be coming for several more hours. Not only that, but the operation is going to happen with or without Owen. This actually convinces Owen to work with Hoskins to defeat the ''I. rex''.
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:Hoskins is ripped apart by one of the animals he sought to exploit.]]
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: [[spoiler:He indirectly admits that making the ''Indominus'' a super predator the size of a large theropod was a bad idea as he notes that the next hybrid will be a fraction of the size.]]
* LargeAndInCharge: He has a very high rank within [=InGen=] as head of security operations, which is not an inconsiderable leadership position given the sheer size of the company. As for being large, he's played by the 6 ft. 3.5 in. Vincent D'Onofrio.
* ManipulativeBastard: His plan is based entirely on his manipulations of others; he pushes Dr. Wu to create a hybrid so intelligent and vicious that she will [[spoiler:inevitably escape, thus giving him two opportunities: field test the raptors to publicize them to the world as the next step in warfare, or use the ''I. rex'' for the same purpose.]] It didn't matter which won, either way Hoskins would have succeeded. His overconfidence means he falls just short of being a magnificent-type villain, meaning he winds up as a high-functioning SmugSnake.
* NoodleIncident: His wife came at him with a steak knife once, but he only alludes to it in a vague way to prove a separate point. It's unclear why she did so.
* NotSoDifferentRemark: He tries to push this with former Navy man Owen, saying they're both "dogs of war," but it's a shallow manipulation like everything else.
* PassThePopcorn: Swipes a sip of Lowery's drink when the Raptor Squad searches for the ''I. rex''.
* PetTheDog: Despite his villainy, multiple Pet the Dog moments are seen. After [[spoiler: Masrani dies]], he has the decency to look sorrowful, though it doesn't stop him from exploiting the situation. Later, despite getting punched by Owen, he doesn't retaliate, or sic his men on him. In addition, after [[spoiler: the raptors chose ''I. rex'' as their alpha]], when Hoskins realizes they have turned their sight on Owen (after being told by Barry "they look at what they want to eat"), he immediately calls his men to open fire on the dinosaurs. [[spoiler: And while [[OhCrap his reaction]] is undoubtedly partly due to realizing that his plan has gone south, he's clearly horrified as he watches the raptors tear his men apart.]] His backstory has a more literal PetTheDog moment with a wolf cub he raised.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: There's a subtle but very telling moment where he calls one of the raptors a "he" before Barry corrects him. It hints at the hypermasculine tendencies that complements his aggressive, war-loving attitude.
* PsychoticSmirk: Has one on his face when the ''Pteranodons'' are wreaking havoc on the park's visitors.
* TheRival: To Owen, at least in his own mind. Hoskins wants to weaponize Owen's raptors; Owen doesn't want Hoskins anywhere near his raptors. It ultimately leads to Hoskins using every under-handed trick he can to undermine Owen's authority and force the raptors [[spoiler: into field combat against the rampaging ''I. rex''.]]
* SmugSnake: He's not quite [[TheChessmaster the brilliant chessmaster he thinks he is]]. He does have some good manipulative skills, but his arrogance blinds him to the flaws in his plan. Like many ''Jurassic Park'' characters before him, he fails to understand that it isn't possible to exert complete control over nature. [[spoiler:It's this arrogance that ultimately dooms him.]]
* SmugSmiler: More often than not, he's wearing a big false grin.
* TheSocialDarwinist: Hoskins tells Owen early on that nature is filled with war for survival, and he laments that human society has often been free of it, speaking contemptuously of the tourists (clearly implying they wouldn't survive in the wild). After the pterosaurs attack them, Hoskins grins in delight. He shows open admiration of the ''Indominous rex'' and ''velociraptors'' as efficient killing machines, calling them "nature's gifts" (just before [[{{Irony}} he gets killed by a raptor]]).
* TooDumbToLive: As a result of his arrogance in "FatalFlaw" above. Seriously, what kind of idiot thinks he can control a large, extremely dangerous predator just because he ''watched someone do it once''?
* TyrantTakesTheHelm: [[spoiler:After Masrani's death]], he places himself in control and immediately replaces everyone with his own trigger-happy team.
* VillainyFreeVillain: Yeah he wants to use the dinosaurs for military purposes and is rather giddy watching the chaos unfold but despite being in a high position of power, Hoskins never does anything villainous or illegal and shows a surprising amount of restraint even after being punched by Owen. When he finally gets the raptors he tries to use them to kill the ''I. rex''.
* VillainsWantMercy: [[spoiler:Complete with attempting to persuade the raptor, "I'm on your side!"]]
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Based on the way ViralMarketing for the film depicted him as the protector of Jurassic World. He caught Masrani's eye through his and his team's "cleanup" operation of ''Pteranodon'' flying over Canada in 2001, earning him a promotion to head of security.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Hoskins wants to use the raptors to hunt the ''I. rex'', but the ''I. rex'' is a very legitimate concern and his priority seems to be preventing further deaths. He also believes that using Raptors for war instead of humans would save many lives. [[spoiler: Of course, it becomes a lot more debatable when you find out he wanted the ''I. rex'' to escape.]]
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: He sees the dinosaurs less as living things and more as profit makers. [[spoiler:That same attitude leads to massive overconfidence in the ability of him or his staff to control them, hence why he thought creating the ''I. rex'' was at all a good plan.]]
* WrongGenreSavvy: He thinks of raptors as genetically perfect killing machines, but while the genes of dinosaurs are being engineered to fit some purpose they are still animals that can't be tamed and can't be used like an attack dog.

->''"Every time we unveiled a new attraction, attendance has spiked. Corporate felt genetic modification would up the wow factor."''

A park operations manager at Jurassic World, and the aunt of Zach and Gray.
----
* ActionDressRip: Perfoms one mid-way through the film.
* ActionGirl: Subverted in a fairly awesome way; Claire actually gets fairly little action in ''Jurassic World'', except when she saves Owen from a rogue ''Dimorphodon'', but the film emphasizes her intelligence over her physical strength, meaning that if she gets a moment of awesome, it's usually because she uses her ''brain'' as opposed to strength. [[spoiler:Releasing the ''T. rex'', for example]].
** Played a bit more straight in ''Fallen Kingdom'', as she's a bit more experienced this time around.
* ActionSurvivor: She manages to survive the whole ordeal despite not being trained for it.
* AdultFear: Her nephews, whom she was supposed to care for, are missing on the island when a sociopathic predator she helped to create is on the loose.
* AdrenalineMakeover: She goes from sharply dressed to a disheveled mess due to the traumatic events she goes through.
* BelligerentSexualTension: With Owen with her obvious attraction to him. [[spoiler: They start dating again eventually.]]
* BigDamnHeroes: When Owen's ''Velociraptors'' are clearly losing against the ''I. rex'', Claire has [[spoiler:Rexy unleashed and lures her]] to fight ''I. rex'' in an epic showdown.
** Happens in the climax of ''Fallen Kingdom'' when Owen and Maisie are hanging on the ledge on the roof and cornered by the ''Indoraptor''. Claire distracts it enough so that Owen can pull him and Maisie up.
* BreakTheHaughty: Leaving her clean and controlled "behind-the-scenes" management area for the wild and savage parts of the island fails to have this effect on her, as she steps up to the challenge instead.
* CharacterDevelopment: During the ''I. rex'' fiasco, Claire comes to see that dinosaurs aren't just "numbers on a clipboard" or "assets", but living creatures with feelings. [[spoiler:Over the course of the film, she also grows from distant towards her nephews (but still intent on spending time with them at some point, her schedule and her strict adherence to it was in the way) to prioritising them above all else, growing to appreciate the family she has, regardless of whether or not she has kids of her own.]] In between the first ''Jurassic World'' and ''Fallen Kingdom'' she founds and heads an animal rights group advocating for the dinosaurs on Isla Nublar to be treated as an endangered species and relocated to escape the soon-to-erupt volcano.
* ClothingDamage: She suffers quite a bit in ''Jurassic World'', as her business dress and skirt get torn and filthy during the movie.
* CombatStilettos: Despite Owen complaining about her "stupid shoes", she never drops the high heels. [[http://entertainthis.usatoday.com/2015/06/10/bryce-howard-jurassic-heels/ It wasn't easy]] [[DyeingForYourArt on the actress' ankles.]] But it's all worth it when she ''outruns the ''T. rex'' in them.''
** Averted in ''Fallen Kingdom'', as this time she had time to dress herself appropriately and equipped a nice pair of leather boots before venturing again on Isla Nublar.
* CompositeCharacter: Of John Hammond and Alan Grant. Hammond for his business acumen and enthusiasm about Jurassic Park/World. Doctor Grant in terms of Grant's CharacterDevelopment being mirrored by her struggle to find her nephews.
* ControlFreak:
** Resents any suggestion that runs counter to her decisions or any questioning of her ability to handle the crisis with the ''Indominus''.
** She also apparently turned up to the [[NoodleIncident disastrous date]] with Owen with an ''itinerary''. Yes, really.
* CoolAunt: DoubleSubverted as becoming one is the main point of her CharacterDevelopment. She's so {{Workaholic}} that she barely spends time with her nephews. But when they both disappeared around the time the ''I. rex'' went loose, she personally goes along with Owen when he is searching for them and is clearly heartbroken when she thought they're both dead.
* CreateYourOwnVillain: She contributed to the creation of the ''I. rex''.
* DeadpanSnarker: She throws a few witty jabs at Owen.
* DecompositeCharacter: One half of John Hammond. Specifically, trying to get expert opinions about the park and its exhibits, to please the investors. Also she appears completely dressed in white and is the adult relative of two child characters visiting the park that happen to find themselves in danger from the dinosaurs' wrath while the adult relative is too far away to protect them. John was the grandfather of Lex and Tim Murphy, while Claire is the aunt of Zach and Gray.
* DefrostingIceQueen: She wears all-white outfits, has icy-blue eyes and has a somewhat aloof demeanor. She's not TheStoic since she displays frustration and nerves even before the circumstances of the film bring out her inner MamaBear.
* FeetFirstIntroduction: Claire is introduced like this in an elevator talking to herself. She's memorizing the names of people she's going to be meeting.
-->'''Claire:''' Hal Osterly, vice-president... Jim Drucker, bad hair... Erica Brand, deserves better... Hal, Jim, Erica. Hal, Jim, Erica. And I am Claire.\\
''Looks at her wristwatch, and the elevator dings''
-->'''Claire:''' Three minutes late.
* FieryRedhead: When she argues with Owen about their unsuccessful first date, and more so when she actively defends Owen and her nephews from attacking dinosaurs.
* TheFinickyOne: She printed out a full itinerary for her unsuccessful date with Owen.
* {{Foil}}: To John Hammond. Claire is an [[TheStoic emotionally distant]] thirty-something {{workaholic}} who meticulously obsesses over the park's profits; Hammond was an eccentric elderly showman who started the park [[DoingItForTheArt to realize a personal dream]]. Hammond was a doting grandfather, with time to spare for his grandchildren's visit. Claire is an overworked aunt, pushed into taking care of her nephews despite having no time to spare even to greet them in person. Notably, Claire shares Hammond's all-white wardrobe, and she's also asked to watch two children while their parents are going through a divorce. Lampshaded by Simon Masrani, Hammond's more idealogically similar replacement as the owner of the park, when he gets sick of Claire spewing financial figures at him.
-->'''Masrani:''' When John Hammond entrusted his park to me, never once did he talk of profit. [[CatchPhrase "Spared no expense!"]], [[CallBack he always said]].
* GettingHotInHere: Gets [[HotterAndSexier less clothing and more sweaty]] the more running around in jungles she does.
* TheGhost: In ''WesternAnimation/JurassicWorldCampCretaceous'', she is frequently mentioned by the counselors (one of whom has a phone conversation with her, where she apparently attempts to dump Zach and Gray at the camp) but never appears onscreen.
* GodzillaThreshold: During the climax, when the ''I. rex'' kills Owen's raptor pack, Claire decides to release the ''T. rex'' and bait it into fighting the ''I. rex''.
* IcyBlueEyes: Just look at the photo, trying to pierce Owen.
* IdiotBall: Despite all the warning signs that the ''I. rex'' is very dangerous: has to be fed with a crane, ate her sibling, etc., she doesn't bother to tell her superiors at [=InGen=] until the attraction's public debut is only weeks away.
* KickingAssInAllHerFinery: Spends the whole ordeal in business clothes (at most she drops the jacket after it's [[ClothingDamage damaged]] enough, but not before [[ActionDressRip rolling back the sleeves and tying the front to make it less cumbersome]]) ''and'' high heels, for ''the entire movie.''
* MamaBear: Double subverted. She's evidently too much of a {{Workaholic}} to look after her own nephews when they visit her at her job, but when things go awry, [[http://41.media.tumblr.com/43e4e7fbf1137130815f4d883732f38f/tumblr_nndhasZG9a1r5cyr0o1_1280.jpg she ends up protecting them from the monster she played a part in creating]].
* MarriedToTheJob: Her dedication to work is such that she has very little time for family and other relations outside of work. She gets called out on it by Owen when he finds out that she doesn't know how old her nephews are, and by her sister when she learns that Claire has fobbed the boys off on her assistant Zara, instead of spending the day with them.
* MsFanservice: Claire effectively disrobing to more "practical" attire for the island jungle. Owen's briefly at a loss for words at this. She then discards her business outfit for an very appealing tank top around the end of the movie. In the sequel, for a good portion of the movie, she wears a pair of rather tight, figure-hugging khaki pants that show off her voluptuous rear end.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When the hybrid dinosaur she helped to create has gone berserk. She returns to the control room, guilt creeping over her expression.
* NerdsAreSexy: As played by Bryce Dallas Howard, who is extremely beautiful. Claire is seen in a very appealing tank top as well. Owen certainly thinks so, at least. (Especially during the ActionDressRip, where he just... stares.)
%%* ReasonableAuthorityFigure
* RuleOfSymbolism: At the beginning of the film, Claire is conservatively dressed and shows that she is driven by planning and an attention to detail. Throughout the film, however, she loses more and more of her composure, freaking out when her nephews go missing and performing an ActionDressRip to help Owen track them down. By the finale, she's tied her coat around her waist, is scuffed up and sweating, and [[spoiler:outruns Rexy in high-heels after deciding to perform an impromptu plan during the fight between ''I. rex'' and the raptors]].
* SciFiBobHaircut: She's present with a very nice looking bob cut early on, but it gets gradually dirtier and messier as she goes through the adventure.
* ShesGotLegs: After an ActionDressRip.
* SleevesAreForWimps: Downplayed when Owen tells her to change her outfit before they search for her nephews. She performs an ActionDressRip and rolls up the sleeves of her coat to her elbows.
* TankTopTomboy: While she's not tomboyish, she does start to wear a tank top after she TookALevelInBadass.
* TookALevelInBadass: Claire goes from the mostly office-bound manager to [[spoiler:rescuing the group on several occasions, such as tranquilizing the ''Dimorphodon'' attacking Owen and luring Rexy to fight the ''I. rex''.]]
* UnkemptBeauty: She winds up injured, sweating, and exhausted, with her hair a ragged mess by the end of it. ... Still gorgeous.
* UptightLovesWild: Averted at first, since she didn't enjoy her first date with Owen, but later on comes to feel this way, after his "wild" nature helped her save her nephews.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Owen and Masrani call her out for her tendency to treat the dinosaurs less as animals and more as "assets."
* WhatTheHellHero: Claire delivers one to Owen in ''Fallen Kingdom'' when he turns his back on an opportunity to rescue the endangered dinosaurs. Claire specifically brings up [[MoralityPet Blue]] to try and change his mind.
* {{Workaholic}}: One of her defining character traits in ''Jurassic World''. In the video game, there's even a point wherein she tells Zara that she's too busy to look at a picture of a dinosaur Gray drew for her.

[[caption-width-right:350:''"[[Film/JurassicPark This place was real.]] It didn't need genetic hybrids. [[EverythingIsBetterWithDinosaurs They just needed dinosaurs.]]"'']]
->'''Played By:''' Jake Johnson

A tech-savvy control room operator at Jurassic World.
----
* AudienceSurrogate: As the quote says, he doesn't like the idea of a hybrid dinosaur to attract an audience and prefers true dinosaurs. This echoes many of the knee-jerk complaints from fans about a 'hybrid dinosaur'. His snark over brand name endorsements on things in the park echoes general audience complaints about ham-fisted ProductPlacement in any movie.
* ButtMonkey: Lowery gets put down by almost every character (except [[NiceGirl Vivian]], but ''especially'' by Claire) for really no reason, to his own dismay.
* CompositeCharacter: He possesses a blend of Ian Malcolm's prescience, Ray Arnold's [[DeadpanSnarker snark]], and Dennis Nedry's [[TechnoWizard computer skills]]. He's even wearing glasses remarkably similar to Nedry's.
* DeadpanSnarker:
** After hearing the new sponsorship, "[[TropeCoTropeOfTheWeek Verizon Wireless Presents the Indominus rex]]", from Claire, Lowery snarks they should just let the corporations name these hybrids outright to promote their products. He then mutters alternative names for the ''I. rex'' such as Pepsisaurus and Tostitodon.
** When Masrani declares that the park's success depends on the ACU's handing on the ''Indominus rex'' breakout, stating that situation like this is an eventuality, Lowery cynically replies that they should put that statement in the brochure, along with the eventuality that a dinosaur would be eating the tourists.
* EveryoneHasStandards: When Claire is informed that a ''Pachycephalosaurus'' broke through an enclosure, damaging its RFID chip, and the containment unit shot it full of tranquilizer darts and is loading it up for recovery (as she sees in a live video feed), she only reacts with frustration. Lowery openly tells her to have some sympathy, as the frightened dinosaur just got shot full of such heavy drugs that he is stoned and on the edge of consciousness. He then says to her (his boss) in as many words that while the park's dinosaurs may have been genetically reconstituted in a lab, now they are ''live animals'' and thus experience pain and fear. He considers even non-violently tranquilizing a dinosaur to be verging on animal cruelty.
* {{Fanboy}}: Of the original Film/JurassicPark to the point he has an old Jurassic Park shirt and some dinosaur toys in his monitor desk.
* GoodCounterpart: He's Nedry, but more loyal and morally upright.
* {{Irony}}: See the quote under his picture and then remember Wu pointing out that the dinosaurs of Jurassic Park have ''alway''s been genetic hybrids due to scientists using DNA from contemporary animals to fill the gene sequence gaps and make the dinosaurs fit an idealized, "cooler" vision of them rather than one dedicated to accuracy.
* NerdGlasses: He has a pretty thick pair of glasses.
* NiceGuy: Is loyal to the park, Claire and Masrani despite his better judgement and annoyance at the more questionable decisions the companies make, makes sure everyone gets out safely while choosing to stay behind himself to help Claire out and [[spoiler:respects Vivian's rejection, even though he's evidently [[LoveHurts not happy about it]]]].
* PermaStubble: Lowery sports some bristly stubble, accompanied by a mustache.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To Dennis Nedry. Both are slovenly computer geeks with authority problems, but while Dennis betrays his superiors for personal profit and ultimately [[spoiler: dies trying to escape the park]], Lowery stays loyal to his boss and ultimately [[spoiler: risks his life to stay behind and [[BigDamnHeroes save Owen and Claire]]]]. Notably, Claire chews him out for having a cluttered workspace, just like Ray Arnold did to Dennis in the original.
* UndyingLoyalty: To both the park and Claire. When everyone else is evacuated from the control room, Lowery volunteers to stay behind and make sure everything is still running as smoothly as possible, knowing full well that dangerous dinosaurs are loose all over the park. And it's a good thing he did stay behind, because Claire would've never been able to get [[spoiler: Rexy from her paddock]] without Lowery to open the door remotely.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jwowen.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"Charlie! Hey! Don't give me that shit!"'']]
->'''Played By:''' Creator/ChrisPratt
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/JurassicWorld'' | ''Film/JurassicWorldFallenKingdom''

->''"Just relax. It's just like taking a stroll through the woods. 65 million years ago."''

A Jurassic World employee who specializes in researching the behavioral patterns of ''Velociraptors'', which has led to him having a friendly relationship with the animals.
----
* TheAce: That guy has trained ''Velociraptors'' to not only refrain from eating him, but also to respect and obey him. There's nothing he's bad at ([[SociallyAwkwardHero except flirting]]), and what sells it is when asked "Who's the alpha?" of the ''Velociraptor'' pack, he simply says, "You're looking at him."
* AllThereInTheManual: The canonical backstory for Owen is that he was a dolphin trainer in the Navy, making him the ideal candidate to train highly-intelligent animals that people make the mistake of assuming are fully tamed.
* AmazonChaser: Does not hesitate to kiss Claire after she opens fire on a rogue ''Dimorphodon'' to save him.
* BadassBiker: Owen rides a motorcycle alongside ''Velociraptors'' while hunting the ''I. rex''.
* BadassCrew: With his ''Velociraptors''.
* BadassInCharge: Owen is the ''alpha'' of the ''Velociraptors''.
* BelligerentSexualTension: With Claire, owing to the fact that they went on a date in the past, but found each other too uptight and oafish respectively. Despite that, he still has an obvious attraction to her. [[spoiler: And halfway through the movie, they do hook up. The first trailer for ''Fallen Kingdom'' implies it didn't last and he's kinda bitter over it.]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Owen is a very nice and personable guy who gets along well with his staff and most others in the film, but put people in harm's way or mistreat his raptors and he'll suddenly become a ''very'' pissed off PapaWolf. He punches Hoskins in the face for doing both of those in the same day.
* {{BFG}}: It's a customized Marlin 1895 chambered for .45-70.
* CasanovaWannabe: Barry implies him to be this in the video game. His interactions with Claire only confirm this.
-->'''Owen:''' ''[to Claire]'' You want a consult here or ''[{{beat}}]'' in my bungalow?
* CompositeCharacter: Owen seems to share the best traits of Dr. Alan Grant and Dr. Ian Malcolm.
* ControlFreak: Shown in ''Fallen Kingdom'' when he and Claire are discussing why she left him (again). He says it’s because she didn’t want to live in a truck. She says that he wouldn’t even let her ''drive'' the truck.
* CoolGun: He carries [[CoolGuns/{{Rifles}} a scoped lever-action rifle]] with [[BlingBlingBang a very nice stainless finish]], when things get serious. Also a bit of ShownTheirWork, as Owen, being a former Navy Man, would recognize the benefit of having a stainless weapon in such a hot, humid environment, as well as the rifle's .45-70 chambering working as an excellent choice for bringing down large, dangerous animals. (Granted, it didn't really help much against the ''I. rex'', but there are very few rifles on Earth that could even scratch it.)
* DeadpanSnarker: He has a rather sardonic sense of humor.
* DeathGlare: Owen has one permanently fixed on Hoskins, who wants to use his imprinted raptors as weapons of war.
* DecoyProtagonist: While Owen Grady gets top billing and appears in several promotional material, Creator/ColinTrevorrow stated that Claire is the main protagonist of the film, as it revolves around her CharacterDevelopment.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: While his contribution to the plot ''does'' stand on equal footing, Claire receives the actual brunt of CharacterDevelopment.
* DistractedByTheSexy: When Claire rips up her suit, he stares distractedly for several seconds. She gives a DeathGlare in response at his reaction.
* FluffyTamer: Trains ''Velociraptors'' for a living with the hope that the less violent beasts can eventually be introduced to the park safely.
* {{Foil}}:
** To Robert Muldoon. Owen is a cheerful, idealistic FluffyTamer, where Muldoon was a grim, cynical GreatWhiteHunter. Notably, both of them have special relationships with the ''Velociraptors'', but where Owen tries to train them [[FriendToAllLivingThings by forming bonds based on mutual respect]], Muldoon merely saw them as [[WorthyOpponent worthy adversaries]] and wanted to see them all exterminated.
** To Vic Hoskins. Unlike Hoskins, Owen does not see the ''Velociraptors'' as tools, instead respecting them. In addition, he does not wish to use them as foot soldiers. [[spoiler: This is what allows Owen to take control of the ''Velociraptors'' instead of Hoskins.]]
* FriendToAllChildren: He hits it off with Claire's nephews pretty quickly.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Shows genuine care for every dinosaur he encounters and has somehow managed to train four of the most dangerous animals on Earth, but when it comes to the ''Indominus rex'', even Owen doesn't want anything to do with it. He does call Claire and [=InGen=] out for isolating and mistreating it, though. Beyond his general suspicion of a novel hybrid, his disgusted dialogue with Claire amounts to "Thanks to you guys, it's too late for anything to make friends with this one."
* GoodParents: To the raptors, in stark contrast to [[spoiler:Henry Wu]]'s [[AbusiveParents treatment]] of the ''I. rex''.
* HeroesWantRedheads: Owen is attracted to the redheaded Claire Dearing. [[spoiler: They do make out halfway through the movie, during the attack on Main Street of all places, right in front of her confused nephews.]]
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Appears to be this with Barry. They are both protective, fatherly figures towards the ''Velociraptors'' and both actively dislike Hoskins.
* HyperAwareness: Owen quickly notices things about the animals' behaviors that other people overlook. Justified, since he has to be on his guard around the raptors at all times and has extensive experience with [[AllThereInTheManual training other highly-intelligent species.]]
* IgnoredExpert: Yet another victim of [=InGen's=] long history of not listening to people they explicitly pay to tell them stuff they need to know. Averted with, ironically enough, Masrani, the park owner himself. He's the one who employed him in the first place to look after and train the raptors and later asked him for advice on how to manage the ''I. rex'' paddock. When things finally got out of hand, Masrani is the first person to follow his instructions by meeting up with Wu for info on the ''I. rex'' and finally switching the tactic from capturing it alive to killing it outright.
* ImADoctorNotAPlaceholder: When Claire asks him if he can track Zack and Gray by their scent or footprints, he says, "I was with the Navy, not the Navajo!"
* KnifeNut: Averted. He carries a knife scout style [[note]]horizontally at the small of his back[[/note]] all the time, but never uses it as a weapon. He uses it once to cut the fuel line of the vehicle he's hiding under to disguise his scent and once more to pull an ''I. rex'' tooth out of the gyrosphere's wreckage.
* MoralityChain: ''He'' is the only person the raptor pack won't attack.
* NatureHero: Complete with living off the grid, despite being well-paid at a luxury park, and a big dose of NotGoodWithPeople. His dilapidated trailer/shack implies that he spends far more time at the raptor paddock than at home.
* NervesOfSteel: He manages to keep his cool despite being stuck in a paddock with four ''Velociraptors'' that have slipped into hunting mode. And he works with these animals on a daily basis, too.
* NiceGuy: Owen is brave, protective, and cares for his ''Velociraptors''. He also has a friendly relationship with Claire's nephews who, in turn, think he's really cool.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Downplayed. Though in fleeing from the ''I. rex'' he led it to the exit of the enclosure, it is justified in that he had ''no'' alternative, as the ''I. rex'' was blocking the only other exit, and his initial plan was to try and get ''around'' the ''I. rex'' to the exit it was too big to use. The actual blame should be put on Nick for opening the main gate in the first place.
* NotGoodWithPeople: He may have spent too much time convincing the raptors he's an acceptable raptor father-figure.
* NoYou: To Claire at one point.
-->'''Owen:''' ''[after hearing the ''I. rex's'' name, and barely being able to contain his laughter]'' The ''Indominus rex?''\\
'''Claire:''' We needed something that was both scary and easy to pronounce. You should hear a four year old try to say "''Archaeornithomimus''".\\
'''Owen:''' ... You should hear ''you'' try to say it.
* OnlySaneMan: He seems very uncertain about the whole "create a hybrid dinosaur" idea, and when she gets loose he's the only one to insist they put her down instead of trying to recapture her, because of the danger she poses to the park. He's also the only staff member so far who acknowledges the fact that the animals are, well, ''animals'' and need to be treated as such.
** The ''Velocicoaster'' theme park attraction's main preshow mostly consists of Owen explaining to Claire how absurd, irresponsible and dangerous the entire premise of building a rollercoaster through the middle of the Velociraptor paddock is.
* PapaWolf: At several points in the film, Owen tries to protect Zach and Gray from the ''I. rex'' and other dinosaurs and in his second film he goes out of his way trying to keep Maisie safe. Most of his antagonism with Hoskins stems from his need to protect and ensure his raptors' safety. Even during the firefight, Owen never shoots directly at them, instead attempting to distract and lure them away from nearby humans. This ensures that he doesn't lose their hard-earned trust, either.
-->'''Owen:''' Gentlemen, you have one big target. Do ''not'' shoot my raptors ... please.
* ParentalSubstitute: To the raptors. It's mentioned by Malcolm in ''Literature/{{The Lost World|1995}}'' that the main reason why Jurassic Park's dinosaurs are so violent and sociopathic is because they had no parents to model their behavior off of, which led to them acting purely on instinct. Owen solves this issue (to an extent) by raising the raptors himself and providing them with a framework for healthy, effective pack behaviors. He's both their alpha ''and'' their father-figure, in a sense.
** By the end of ''Fallen Kingdom'', he seemingly has become Maisie's adoptive father having bonded with her throughout the night trying to keep her safe from Mills and the ''Indoraptor''.
* RatedMForManly: Owen is a retired U.S. Navy dolphin trainer, works with ''Velociraptors'' for a living, and prefers a more rugged lifestyle than most of his coworkers. However, unlike Hoskins and his mercs, Owen isn't as extreme about it, considering [[FriendToAllLivingThings his genuine concern for the park's animals]] and their various needs. This especially applies to his four raptors, who he treats with great care and devotion.
* RescueRomance: [[spoiler:Gives Claire a BigDamnKiss after she rescues him from a ''Dimorphodon''.]]
* ShutUpHannibal: He punches Hoskins for misusing his raptors and tells him to stay away from them from now on.
* StaticCharacter: Owen's story is tied to his thoughts and duties as a park staff (particularly his relationship with his ''Velociraptors''). He himself doesn't undergo much "change" over the course of the film when compared to Claire.
* TeamDad: Also to the raptors. He's the only person they listen to and won't attack on sight, which Owen attributes to maintaining a mutually respectful relationship with them. It also helps that Owen raised them since birth and all four of the raptors (who were given bird DNA instead of frog) have imprinted on him.
* ThousandYardStare: Owen's expression is a mix of shock and horror when [[spoiler: Charlie's blown to pieces]] right in front of him. He just sits there for several moments with glazed eyes, unmoving despite the firefight around him.
* TheWormGuy: Much like Dr. Grant and Dr. Sattler before him, Owen's specialty at the park is narrow and focuses almost solely on his imprinted raptors, so he's quite puzzled when Claire requests that he evaluate the ''I. rex'' and her paddock. [[spoiler: Turns out that this was at least somewhat relevant after all; the ''I. rex'' has raptor DNA in her.]]
* WhatTheHellHero: He chews out Claire and [=InGen=] for not only creating the ''I. rex'', but mistreating it and letting it grow up in isolation.

* BilingualBonus:
** Barry can sometimes be heard speaking to the raptors in French, which appears to calm them down ''and'' annoy Hoskins, who is standing nearby and pretending to understand him.
** Also what he says to Owen after the incident in the Raptors' pen. And it's not clear by his tone if he's joking.
---> '''Barry:''' You should have let them eat him.
* TheBusCameBack: Omar Sy is credited in ''Jurassic World: Dominion'', meaning his character is returning.
* DeadpanSnarker: Much like Owen, he has a dry wit.
* FluffyTamer: He's the only person besides Owen that can get anywhere near the raptors without losing life or limb, and assists him in the daily upkeep of their enclosures and overall health. Blue even recognizes Barry's voice and [[spoiler: stops attacking]] during the firefight when she realizes exactly who is stuck in the log. This gives Owen the opportunity to draw her off and save his life.
* GratuitousFrench: He frequently speaks and swears in French, with "Merde!" being a favorite of his.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Appears to be this with Owen. They are both protective, fatherly figures towards the ''Velociraptors'' and both actively dislike Hoskins.
* TheLancer: He is Owen's second-in-command, but is somewhat calmer and more mature.
* NiceGuy: He genuinely cares for the ''Velociraptors'' and is disgusted by Hoskins only thinking of them as tools.
* NumberTwo: After Owen, Barry is the only one the ''Velociraptors'' won't attack.
* OnlySaneMan: While not as prominent as Owen, Barry thinks that Hoskins is absolutely insane for wanting to weaponize the raptors and shows nothing but disgust for how some of the animals are treated.
-->'''Barry:''' Code 19! Asset out of containment. These people never learn.
* PapaWolf: Much like Owen, Barry doesn't want Hoskins anywhere near the raptors and becomes openly hostile when he suggests using them as weapons of war. He even starts tracking Hoskins and his men to see what their ulterior motives may be towards the pack.
* RealMenWearPink: He wears a pink shirt, though not as fancy as Masrani's.

[[caption-width-right:350:''"Can he slow down?"'']]
->'''Played By:''' Creator/KatieMcGrath

The personal assistant of Claire Dearing.
----
* AdaptationalHeroism: She has a much larger and more heroic role in the ''[[VideoGame/LEGOAdaptationGame LEGO Jurassic World]]'' game. [[spoiler: That is enough to almost spare her.]]
* AllThereInTheManual: Her last name Shealy is given in the ''Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Survival Guide'' where she's listed [[spoiler:among those [[TheDeadHaveNames killed]] in previous films]].
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: She always appears very distant and [[TheDragAlong dragged]].
* {{Bridezilla}}: Definitely seems to be one of these. She remarks to her friend on the phone that "it's my wedding" and says that her fiance can't have a bachelor party because all his friends are idiots. Or ''animals'' as she so tactfully puts it.
* ButtMonkey: Zara doesn't have the best day of her life when Zach and Gray are placed under her supervision. She spends most of her time struggling to watch over them while they frequently run from her. [[spoiler:She ultimately meets a grisly fate in the jaws of the ''Mosasaurus'', though not before getting repeatedly savaged by a ''Pteranodon''.]]
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler: She's flailed around by multiple ''Pteranadons'' and SwallowedWhole by the ''Mosasaurus''.]]
* DeathByGenreSavviness: She knows just standing there in the open during a pterosaur attack is a bad idea [[spoiler:and she's carried off to her doom as soon as she points this out.]]
* EatenAlive: She was still alive when the [[spoiler:''Pteranodon'' tried to lift her out of the water, and can be seen pinned beneath it inside the ''Mosasaurus''[='=] mouth before she closes her jaws]].
* FailedASpotCheck: [[spoiler:During the pterosaur attack, Zach notices a ''Pteranodon'' barreling towards them and pulls Gray out of the way before it can grab any of them. Zara, on the other hand, wasn't so lucky]]...
* ForgottenFallenFriend: [[spoiler:Nobody says a single word about her after her death, not even Zach and Gray, who are the only two people that witnessed her demise. Though given the looks on their faces when they witnessed it, it seems unlikely that they'd ''want'' to talk about it. Played straight and justified with Claire who would logically be closest to her, with Zara being her PA, albeit by this point, Claire is probably more preoccupied with ensuring her nephews' safety than with giving last rites to a fallen friend.]]
* GenderFlip: She could be considered a female personification of the original ''Literature/JurassicPark'' novel's Ed Regis. Though her depiction is somewhat [[AdaptationalHeroism in contrast]] to Regis, who was a BitchInSheepsClothing DirtyCoward and abandoned the kids left to his care at the first sign of trouble, while the harried Zara is ''visibly'' annoyed at babysitting but ultimately seems much more concerned about Zach and Gray's safety. [[spoiler: Sadly, she meets an even worse fate than Regis.]]
** It's worth noting that [[spoiler: her demise]] bears some similarity to Henry Wu's in ''Literature/JurassicPark'' due to her [[spoiler: suddenly being attacked just as she tells someone else to get to safety]].
* KillTheCutie: She's quite good-looking, due to being played by Creator/KatieMcGrath. [[spoiler: She gets rather spectacularly killed off]].
* MauveShirt: She gets a name and some semblance of a personality (not a lot though) before [[spoiler:getting an insanely overblown death]].
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: She had ''one'' job: Watching over Claire's nephews. But she's so neglectful to them that she never even tries to be friendly to them or at least act like a tour guide for them. It doesn't help that the boys are there to get distracted from their parents' divorce yet they're being neglected by ''two'' adult figures, who are supposed to accompany them, in one day, their own aunt and Zara herself. It's a little wonder that the boys just decide to ignore and leave her after they decide the adults around them are [[AdultsAreUseless useless]]... which in turn cause them to go to dangerous side of the park, forcing Claire and Owen to search for them.
* NotTheFallThatKillsYou: She survives an at least 100 foot fall into a body of water that would seriously injure, if not kill, most people on impact and actually manages to swim away from that. The ''Pteranodons'' and the ''Mosasaurus'' quickly put moot to that accomplishment, however.
* NumberTwo: She's Claire's personal assistant.
* RavenHairIvorySkin: This ''is'' Creator/KatieMcGrath we're talking about.
* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:She is killed just to show how formidable the ''Pteranodons'' are, and to remind us that Jurassic World has a ''Mosasaurus'']].
* SatelliteCharacter: Much of her character revolves around being Claire's assistant and the boys' babysitter.
* SwallowedWhole: [[spoiler:How she and her captor meet their end, at the jaws of the ''Mosasaurus''.]]
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: [[spoiler:She goes through '''''hell''''' on her way to the afterlife. She's yanked high into the air, thrown around and fought over by a pair of ''Pteranodons'', dropped from a tremendous height into a ''Mosasaurus'' exhibit, attacked and dunked repeatedly by a ''Pteranodon'' only for the ''Mosasaurus'' to snap them both up.]] What makes it worse? [[spoiler:She's probably not dead right away either, so would have to linger in the mouth of the ''Mosasaur'' until she suffocated. Also, the ''Mosasaurus'' has another row of very sharp teeth ''inside its jaw'' that would rip her to shreds on the way down, even if she ''did'' manage to avoid suffocating. And, if she ''did'' manage to remain in the mouth without being swallowed, then the ''I. rex'' or all the water the ''Mosasaurus'' gulps in would shove her down and kill her, anyways.]]
** Even Sam Neill felt [[http://uproxx.com/movies/sam-neill-jurassic-world-hunt-for-the-wilderpeople/3/ sorry for her!]]
-->'''Sam Neill''': Boy, [[DisproportionateRetribution what did the English girl do wrong]]? [[spoiler: She got eaten by like three dinosaurs at once.]] Was she on the phone too much? She did something really wrong.
* WhiteShirtOfDeath: She is wearing a white shirt throughout her entire appearance [[spoiler: and suffers possibly the most prolonged death scene in the entire series.]]

[[caption-width-right:350:''"That wall's forty feet high. You really think she could've climbed out?"'']]

A worker supervising the ''Indominus rex'' paddock.
----
* AllThereInTheManual: His full name, barely legible on his ID badge in the film, is more easily seen in some behind the scenes footage and an unreleased "in-character" interview. He's listed in the film credits as simply "Paddock Supervisor."
* AdaptationalHeroism: Like Zara, he has a much larger and more active role in ''[[VideoGame/LEGOAdaptationGame LEGO Jurassic World]]''. [[spoiler:He even [[SparedByTheAdaptation manages to survive]]!]]
* BigEater: Downplayed. He's seen eating a sandwich and munching Oreos while on duty in the ''Indominus rex'' control room, but, despite being overweight, the film doesn't draw much attention to his eating habits.
* ConcealmentEqualsCover: Parodied to some extent with him hiding (poorly) in front of a pickup. Let's just say that despite their ad campaign claiming they're "like a rock," Chevrolet trucks are no match for dinosaurs.
* CurseCutShort: [[spoiler:Right before he's snatched up, he starts to mouth "Oh, fu--!"]]
* DeathByGenreSavvy: A great big fat guy who can barely move faster than a light jog, he seems well aware of just how screwed he is if he tries running, so he tries to be clever and open up an alternate escape route. [[spoiler:Sadly, it just causes the disaster and gets him killed.]]
* DeathByPragmatism: He notices that ''Indominus rex'' is blocking the front gate of the paddock before Owen does, and so while Owen and another worker are running (unknowingly) towards danger, Nick smartly heads for the rear gate to input his security code to escape that way. Unfortunately, in saving himself, he opens up an avenue of escape for ''Indominus rex'', who chases Owen out the open gate. [[spoiler:Nick becomes her first post-escape victim.]]
* HopeSpot: He manages to get the door open and get out of the paddock to presumed safety and hide. [[spoiler:He still gets killed.]]
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler:Because he opens the door to get out, it's partially his fault that ''I. rex'' escapes]].
* OhCrap: [[spoiler:When his pitiful hiding spot is uncovered and he realizes he's about to be eaten.]]
* OneSteveLimit: Averted. The other worker in the scene is named Nick Kilgore.
* RedShirt: When the ''Indominus rex'' escapes, [[spoiler:she almost immediately finds Nick and eats him like a [[BloodyHilarious Gushers fruit snack]]]]
* SmallRoleBigImpact: [[spoiler:Nick's role in the film is fairly minor and is only seen for a few minutes. In the duration of his screen time he opens the gate to the paddock allowing ''Indominus rex'' to escape.]]
* SurveillanceStationSlacker: He's surprisingly inattentive despite managing arguably the most dangerous dinosaur in all of Jurassic World. In fact, he's the ''only one'' on duty in the control room both times Claire brings someone to the paddock, and the second time he isn't even monitoring the computer screens. [[spoiler:It takes Owen asking why he doesn't see ''Indominus rex'' for him to finally start paying attention.]]
* TearsOfFear: As he hides in front of the truck, he sobs, hoping ''I. rex'' won't find him... or knowing that he’s already dead.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:Had he not opened the paddock gate, the ''I. rex'' wouldn’t have escaped.]]

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/d684a05edc7d16877b77ccee3b24d6bd.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"I can't wait to tell Mom about this!"'']]
->'''Played By:''' Creator/NickRobinson & Ty Simpkins

->''"They're going to shave our heads and we'll have to make root beer in the toilet!"''

Claire's two nephews who go to visit their aunt and enjoy a vacation at Jurassic World at a rather unfortunate time.
----

!!Both of them

* ActionSurvivor: The siblings were never equipped to handle dangerous dinosaurs, but they manage to survive through teamwork and their own skills.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther:
** Their relationship with each other certainly qualifies. Zach can be aloof and a bit of a bully, but he's always there for Gray and makes sure he's safe.
** A more minor case, but while Zach seems very disinterested by his girlfriend's little "farewell" before the trip and he spends the trip ogling other women, he still takes the time to look at her little "miss you" message during the ''Mosasaurus'' feeding.
* BadassAdorable: Both of them are wide-eyed, cute kids. Zach manages to zap a rogue ''Velociraptor'' and Gray manages to outwit Delta using just his quick wits and an Innovation Center hologram.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Zach and Gray, respectively. When the visitors are told to return from their ride, Gray wants to obey the instructions, but Zach opts to continue venturing, despite not knowing what kind of problem the Park is having.
* ForWantOfANail: ''Camp Cretaceous'' reveals that Claire wanted them to join the rest of the campers so that they could be with people thier own ages. [[spoiler:Ironically, not going to the camp actually turned out for the best, as the kids aren't able to make it to the docks before the last ferry leaves]].
* HarmfulToMinors: Service for children and teens continues as normal in the grand tradition of ''Jurassic Park'' and it's sequels as Zach and Gray endure a seriously traumatic series of events. They're attacked several times, their loved ones are placed in danger and people die horribly right in front of them with some regularity.
* KidAppealCharacter: By virtue of being the only kids among the human characters.
* {{Nephewism}}: Claire's close familial connection to Zach and Gray is required to justify her [[TookALevelInBadass taking a considerable level in badass]]. Only something as personal as the endangerment of her young nephews could spur her character into going all out MamaBear on marauding dinosaurs.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Shown perfectly when they think their parent are getting a divorce -- Gray is openly crying and not ashamed, Zach is telling him to stop and toughen up, explaining that "life isn't fair."
* ShipperOnDeck: They both, especially Zach, think Owen is a great boyfriend for Claire.
* SiblingTeam: They work together to survive in Jurassic World when the ''I. rex'' gets loose.
* SiblingYinYang: Zach is a cynical JerkWithAHeartOfGold and is very low-energy, and he is initially unimpressed by Jurassic World, thinking it is for little kids; Gray is an optimistic NiceGuy with a abundant amount of energy, and his {{establishing character moment}} is fanboying about visiting Jurassic World.
* SnarkToSnarkCombat: Occasionally between the two of them, such as when Gray catches Zach staring at some pretty girls.
-->'''Gray:''' ''[loudly]'' What exactly do you expect to achieve by just staring at them?
-->'''Zach:''' ...thanks.
-->'''Gray:''' You're welcome.

!!Zach

* BewareTheNiceOnes: If you mess with Gray, Zach will thwart you. [[spoiler: Right, electroshocked raptor and hungry ''I. rex''?]]
* BigBrotherBully: Zach is a mild case for Gray, which is one of the reasons their mother is upset with Claire for foisting them off on Zara, but he stops once the real danger begins. Karen exaggerating it a bit seems to be a sign that she's often been a [[ParentalNeglect neglectful parent]] and similar to Claire in regards that she's not very attentive to her family and probably only assume Zach is BigBrotherBully on superficial level. That's also probably why Zach doesn't seem to think much of her, either, given that his father at one point semi-sternly told him to listen to her when she's talking to him and Gray.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Zach always makes sure Gray is safe when the ''I. rex'' or other dinosaurs start to attack. [[spoiler:He manages to save Gray's life when the ''I. rex'' grasps Gray's belt and tries to pull him out. Using ''one hand'' (as the other is holding Gray back), he manages to unclip the belt and save his little brother.]]
* CanNotSpitItOut: Zach as regards saying "I love you" to his girlfriend.
* ChickMagnet: He doesn't cheat on his girlfriend but it's clear he's able to attract a lot of the girls he interacts with in Jurassic World.
* ChivalrousPervert: Zach is visibly ogling every girl in the park despite having a girlfriend back at home.
* CruelToBeKind: While telling his younger brother to stop crying over their parent's divorce is kind of a mean move, Zach does have a point that there is nothing Gray can do about it and he will need to deal with it. He does try to cheer him up afterward so it's more him just not being the sentimental type than being a Jerkass to his brother.
* DeadpanSnarker: Zach seems to have "deadpan bemusement" as his default facial expression, whether he's talking to his brother, his girlfriend or his aunt.
-->'''Claire:''' The last time I saw you must have been, what, three, four ye--
-->'''Zach:''' ''[bluntly]'' Seven. But, you know, close.
* HiddenDepths:
** Zach is revealed as a talented mechanic, able to repair an original Jurassic Park Jeep left to rot in the jungle for 20 years. He is also a lot more active than his bored teenage look lets on when dinosaurs start attacking.
** He's also remarkably level-headed and logical during ''Indominus's'' attack on the gyrosphere and the immediate aftermath. While Gray understandably loses his head and is screaming and crying, Zach does his very best to try to calm him down and get them out of danger while they're still in the gyrosphere (though it's spoiled by their being hit by the clubbed tail of an ankylosaur) and he also figures out exactly when to unlatch both himself and Gray as ''Indominus'' destroys the gyrosphere, ''and'' to not immediately try running as soon as they hit the ground lest they be sliced to ribbons by the broken glass. To top it all off, when they jump into water to finally escape from Indominus, he holds Gray back underwater and gestures that the dinosaur is probably still up above them, saving both of their lives by tricking Indominus into thinking they weren't coming back out of the water.
* InformedFlaw: According to Karen, Zach "can be so mean" to Gray. While Zach is usually pretty aloof towards Gray and isn't especially nice, he's not actively malicious either and shows a powerful BigBrotherInstinct towards Gray when they're both in danger.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Even his mother describes him as "mean." When it comes down to it, however, he proves himself to be a loyal and protective brother.
* KickTheDog: When Gray is clearly upset by his parents' apparent decision to get a divorce, Zach's response is to tell his crying, distressed younger brother that he has toughen up and that it's not his choice what happens to their parents. [[JerkassHasAPoint He's right]], but it's still pretty damn harsh.
* NervesOfSteel: He is rather good at staying calm and rational in a crisis.
* PetTheDog: When Gray grows increasingly distraught about their parents' upcoming divorce, Zach decides to take their Gyroscope off-road in order to distract his little brother.
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: He seems to have this dynamic with his girlfriend as while she is shown to be bubbly, Zach is shown to be somewhat lethargic.

!!Gray

* AmbiguousDisorder: Gray is highly intelligent, very quiet, and obsessed with numbers and facts (able to spout out the exact make, model, and ''paint identity'' of a Jeep on sight). According to his actor, [[http://www.slashfilm.com/ty-simpkins-jurassic-world-interview/ Gray was originally written as autistic.]] Although the mention in the final film was dropped, his portrayal doesn't seem to divert much from it.
* AudienceSurrogate: Gray's unstoppable excitement to get into the park as the iconic John Williams theme blares reflects the attitude of many a fan happy about the franchise's return, and represents the view of any dinosaur fan who would finally get to see non-bird dinosaurs in real life.
-->'''Gray:''' I don't wanna wait anymore!!!
* {{Fanboy}}: Gray is a ''huge'' expert on dinosaurs.
* TheGlomp: Gray glomps his aunt Claire at one point. Her reaction is priceless. Probably because his head is ''exactly'' the right height to fit ''right'' in her breasts.
* JawDrop: PlayedForDrama. Gray's expression when [[spoiler:Zara]] dies mirrors how the viewer would react if they witnessed [[CruelAndUnusualDeath something like that]] in person.
* {{Keet}}: Gray has a tendency to get really excited when it comes to dinosaurs. Indeed, take a look at [[http://jurassicparkfilms.tumblr.com/post/117791826598/new-footage-of-jurassic-worlds-innovation-center this adorableness.]]
* MotorMouth: Gray can't seem to stop talking whenever dinosaurs are involved.
* NiceGuy: Gray is sensitive, polite, and energetic.
* ThousandYardStare: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. The look on Gray's face when he sees [[spoiler:Zara]] die certainly looks like this, but Zach snaps him out of it immediately.
* {{Troll}}: Gray is a lot smarter than he looks. One could wonder if he spoke out to the girls about Zach staring at them just to be a troll.

->''"A promise tomorrow is worth a lot less than trying today."''
-->-- '''Karen''', to Claire

Zach and Gray's parents. Karen is Claire's sister. They send the boys to Jurassic World alone, hoping Karen's sister will look after them.
----
* AdultFear: When they learn that their sons are stuck on an island with a rampaging monster.
* BabiesMakeEverythingBetter: Karen believes taking care of her nephews will help Claire get some training in for when she has children, and insists "Not if, ''when!"'' when Claire points out she doesn't want kids.
* DeadpanSnarker: Karen teasingly tells her sons to "run" if anything chases them. Scott also jokes to Zach that he's "not leaving for war" when his girlfriend gives him a prolonged farewell. Both comments become HarsherInHindsight in-universe, seeing as both Zach and Gray not only get chased but are almost killed several times in the film.
* ParentsAsPeople: A Spielberg trademark, coupled with ParentalNeglect. They send their sons on a vacation ''alone'', and, for some reason, expect Karen's {{Workaholic}} sister to look after them? Many people would consider it perfectly acceptable to send two children (one of whom is in his teens) on a trip to spend with their aunt, although it's a bit much to expect said aunt to ''immediately'' drop everything and spend time with them, with very little notice. [[spoiler:Possibly justified in that they have been hiding the fact that they are getting divorced from their children and may need some time to arrange things such as custody. They probably also want their children to enjoy themselves and don't want to come with them in case they have a fight or reveal the divorce.]]
* SatelliteCharacter: They don't really get much characterization aside from the fact that they're divorcing soon and say some obviously {{Foreshadowing}} words. Karen even breaks down crying when talking with Claire on the phone while telling her to be a better aunt to the kids today rather than tomorrow, suggesting that she has a bad feeling that something is going to happen to her kids. And not just because of their impeding divorce.

* SatelliteLoveInterest: Not much is known about her aside from being Zach's girlfriend.
* SickeninglySweethearts: Almost seems to be trying to invoke this trope with Zach. As the boys leave for the park, she snuggles Zach and tells him to "take plenty of pictures so [she] remembers what he looks like" and sends him an email that consists of a picture of her holding a sign that says "miss you". Ultimately subverted, though, since Zach doesn't seem nearly as interested as she is, and spends the early part of the movie openly ogling other girls.

->'''Aggression Index:''' Very High
->'''Park Attraction:''' Coming Soon
->'''Diet:''' Carnivore

->'''Owen Grady:''' ''"You made a [[FrankensteinsMonster genetic hybrid]], [[GoMadFromTheIsolation raised it in captivity]]. She is seeing all of this for the first time. She does not even know what she is. [[AxCrazy She will kill everything that moves.]]"''

->'''Owen Grady:''' ''"She is learning where she fits in the food chain … and I'm not sure you want her to figure that out."''

The hybrid dinosaur that was created to be the new mascot of the park. [[GoneHorriblyWrong Naturally]], everything that could go wrong does go wrong and she becomes the main antagonist that terrorizes the park.
----
* AbsurdlySharpClaws: She has a set of massive ''Therizinosaurus''-derived claws on her hands that can gouge cement and pierce bullet-proof glass.
* AxCrazy: All other dinosaurs kill for food and self-defense, this one is a depraved {{Sadist}} that kills ForTheEvulz.
* BigBadEnsemble:
** Acts as the main dinosaur antagonist in ''World''. What sets her apart from the previous dinosaur villains is a mix of her intelligence and depravity; not only does she kill for pleasure and sport, but she's smart enough to ''cause the breakdown of Jurassic World''.
** Forms this with Toro the ''Carnotaurus'' in the first season of ''[[WesternAnimation/JurassicWorldCampCretaceous Camp Cretaceous]]''; she directly threatens the main group of kids several times in the early stages of its rampage, but disappears after becoming occupied with the events of the film, after which Toro takes over as the main threat.
* BrokenAce: One of the greatest and most fearsome predators in Jurassic World… and also an unstable sociopath.
* CainAndAbel: She had a sibling, whom she killed and ate.
* ChameleonCamouflage: Her cuttlefish DNA grants her this ability, similar to the ''Carnotaurus'' in the novels, which she also has a bit of DNA from. However, she does not use this ability very much and due to her neglectful upbringing, [[AchievementsInIgnorance may not know she has it or that she's using it.]]
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: She's the first dinosaur bred specifically for increased aggression, both for increased thrill factor and, more surreptitiously, as a prototype bioweapon. Plus she's raised in complete isolation with no positive associations other than the crate that brings her food. Naturally, when she finally breaks out, she attacks just about everything in sight. Also, she's actively the main cause and central focus of the film's major crisis, whereas previous dinosaur main antagonists like the original raptors, the ''T. rexes'', and the ''Spinosaurus'' were simply the most dangerous hazard that happened to be present during a crisis.
* CreateYourOwnVillain: About as literal an example as you could find. The scientists at Jurassic World created her, and the frankly appalling conditions she was in certainly shaped her into the monster she is. Granted, a genetically engineered dinosaur is a bad idea right of the gate, but intentionally ''designing'' her to be aggressive, smart, and scary, and making her completely isolated from other living things? If they had gone for a nice herbivore, or even found a way for her to be able to be around other dinosaurs or a trainer, she probably wouldn't have been ''as'' bad.
* DarkActionGirl: She is a fierce and cruel dinosaur, and was bred to be female like most of the other animals in the park.
%%* DeconstructiveParody: Serves as one for the Spinosaurus hybrid from [[Film/JurassicParkIII previous film]]. Her intense fight against Rexy and Blue shows just what would happen to the ''Spinosaurus'' if it was a real-life scenario. [[spoiler: Interestingly, ''I. rex's'' far more realistic injuries and difficulties makes her more powerful than the ''Spinosaurus''. ''Not the other way around''.]]
* DinosaursAreDragons: She certainly looks dragon-like, although Colin Trevorrow stated they were trying to ''not'' make her look like a dragon, something that was very difficult. This may have been invoked for [[RuleOfCool obvious reasons]].
* DiscOneFinalBoss: For ''WesternAnimation/JurassicWorldCampCretaceous''. She seems to be the BigBad of Season 1, but she gets tangled up in the events of ''Jurassic World'', leaving Toro to be the season's BigBad. By the time of Season 2, [[spoiler:she's already dead, with Brooklynn and Darius seeing her corpse (although it never being shown on-screen)]].
* TheDreaded: She was specifically created to be this to boost ticket sales for Jurassic World. It worked. ''Way'' too well. To the point that even the ''other animals in the Park'' are terrified of her. She manages to scare the highly territorial ''Pteranodons'' out of the Aviary and invokes an "OhCrap" face in an ''Ankylosaurus''.
* EnfantTerrible: The film opens with her and her sibling hatching. Sometime after that, she ate her sister.
* EvilIsBigger: In a spectacularly dubious piece of InventionalWisdom, she was actually built to invoke this, as the largest and most knowingly malicious theropod in history.
* FeatheredFiend: If we're to assume that the quills on her head and arms are meant to be feathers. [[spoiler:It may come from the fact that she's part raptor]].
* ForTheEvulz: The ''I. rex'' kills simply for sport [[note]]though, in the control room, Owen ''does'' state to Masrani that the ''I. rex'' is figuring out her place in the food chain, so there could be an additional/alternate reason for her wreaking havoc[[/note]].
* FrankensteinsMonster: The dinosaur equivalent.
* FreudianExcuse: It's repeatedly mentioned that the various circumstances since her creation (confinement in a much too small paddock, no one to imprint to upon birth, lack of interaction with anything but the crane that brings her food) have led her into becoming an unstable, ultra-violent sociopath.
* GeniusBruiser: She's big, and she's ''smart.''
* GiantEqualsInvincible: An absolute juggernaut that is completely unaffected by machine-gun fire, rockets, rifle bullets, tranqs, and shotguns throughout the movie. Even multiple fights with other huge dinosaurs and getting rebar speared into her barely even slow her down, so it would be fitting that [[spoiler: she would ultimately be taken down by the one predator on the island [[AlwaysABiggerFish bigger than her]]]].
* GoMadFromTheIsolation:
** Her lonely upbringing likely contributed to her psychosis. [[spoiler: She is shown to be capable of communication with the ''Velociraptors'', implying that she perhaps ''needed'' to communicate, but as Owen notes, the only positive relationship she has at all is with the crane that delivers her food.]]
** This is also a bit of a MythologyGag toward ''Literature/{{The Lost World|1995}}'' book: the raptors on Isla Sorna grew up without any parental figures to raise and teach them properly and thus turned into vicious, feral predators that attack their own kin and murder for sport. They thus act exactly like ''I. rex'' does.
* GoneHorriblyRight: Claire and Dr. Wu wanted a dinosaur that was bigger, badder, and more intelligent than the ''T. rex'' or the raptors. Well, they got her… [[spoiler:Hoskins wanted a deadly LivingWeapon. He got that, too…]]
* HairTriggerTemper: Her Aggression Index is "Very High."
* HorrifyingTheHorror: Even the highly aggressive ''Pteranodons'' are scared of her.
* ImmuneToBullets: During her attack against the [=ACU=] team, one trooper shoots her multiple times with a shotgun to no effect. Later, during the nighttime ambush, she takes several full mags of combined assault rifle fire and seems completely unphased (in fact the sparks flying off her and lack of blood seem to suggest the bullets are at least partially deflecting off her osteoderms). It takes Owen's big game brush rifle to visibly punch holes in her, and she doesn't seem hindered in any way by the shots.
* InnateNightVision: Has infrared vision, courtesy of snake genes in her genome. Coupled with her camouflage and ability to change her body temperature, this means she is completely undetectable to humans in environments like the Jurassic World jungle, yet she can easily track her prey.
* ItCanThink:
** The most dangerous feature of the ''I. rex'' isn't any of her mix and match body parts, but that they intentionally made her hyper-intelligent, even more than the raptors are naturally. The raptors have problem-solving intelligence -- the ''I. rex'' seems to be outright capable of deductive reasoning, observing that 1) the humans inserted something under her flesh (an RFID chip), 2) the humans seem to be able to track her even when they can't see her, and therefore ''rationally concluding'' that 3) the thing they inserted must be how they're tracking her, so she claws out the chip.
** She ''orchestrates'' her own escape; using ''decoy'' tactics and the understanding that monitoring devices in her enclosure can be fooled by shifting her thermal profile.
*** Her problem-solving ability is no slouch, either -- when dealing with an ''Ankylosaurus'', she first attempts to bite it in half and she widens her jaw around it, which fails, but she immediately flips it over once she realizes it has a soft underside after getting some purchase with her claws.
* JustDesserts: [[spoiler:The mosasaur drags her to a watery grave in the film's climax.]]
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:Seeks to be the strongest predator on the island, only for an even ''stronger'' predator to drag her, thrashing and wailing, to her end]].
* KnightOfCerebus:
** In comparison to previous dinosaur antagonists, this one is the most threatening, homicidal, intelligent, depraved, and frightening. [[spoiler:She also manages to kill the Hammond {{expy}} Simon Masrani, who only wants to delight the visitors, much like Hammond, and dies trying to stop this dino from going on a rampage, which shows how much a dangerous threat she is: not even the park owner can stop her.]]
** In ''Camp Cretaceous'', her appearance marks the point where the show transitions from a "kids at camp" story to a lost-on-the-island survival thriller, and is the only dinosaur that kills any humans onscreen during the first season (including one [[EstablishingCharacterMoment just seconds after she enters the story]]).
* LargeAndInCharge: She effectively becomes this when she [[spoiler:communicates with and takes over the ''Velociraptor'' pack]].
* LeanAndMean: She's huge but lanky, with long limbs (by theropod standards) and a curiously sunken, skeletal face.
* {{Leitmotif}}: The ''Indominus'' is the first dinosaur in the franchise to have a theme only for her, a series of foreboding notes. It gets a notable reprise in ''Fallen Kingdom'' when the sub finds her skeleton at the bottom of the ''Mosasaurus'' lagoon.
* LightningBruiser: She is the largest theropod dinosaur, but it does nothing to hinder her speed.
* LightIsNotGood: Her natural color is white when not activating her camouflage.
* LivingWeapon: [[spoiler:Hoskins had her made to be this and then fight the raptors to give him a good opportunity to sell one of the two for military use.]]
* {{Mascot}}: This creature was made for the express purpose of usurping this role from ''Tyrannosaurus'' to stave off waning public interest in the park. On a meta level, the ''I. rex's'' physical profile and almost skeletal, ghastly appearance is almost a one-to-one for the famed ''T. rex'' skeleton in the series' logo.
* MadeOfIron: She shrugs off tranq darts, nets, cattle prods, and automatic weapons-fire like they're nothing. She charges and kills an ACU guard emptying a combat shotgun into her without even breaking her stride. Shooting her just makes her angrier. Only ANTI-TANK weapons can even ''stun'' her: minigun bullets force her to retreat into an enclosure, and a ''rocket launcher'' only succeeds in knocking her down and frightening her off. She even takes a direct hit to the face from an ''Ankylosaurus'' tail (hypothesized by paleontologists to be capable of breaking a ''T. rex'''s leg) without any noticeable damage. [[spoiler: It takes the combined might of the ''T. rex'', the last ''Velociraptor'' Blue, and the ''Mosasaurus'' to finally bring her down.]]
* MeaningfulName: "Indominus" means "fierce" or "untamable". The former because she was designed to be the ultimate dinosaur, the latter because she can't be controlled.
* MightyRoar: [[http://www.jurassicworld.com/dinosaurs/indominus-rex/ Her official page states]] that the ''I. rex'' has a roar of 140 to 160 decibels.
* MixAndMatchCritters: She has attributes and abilities from nearly every creature in her genetic composition. The "base genetic template" was a ''T. rex'', but then they tweaked and spliced in elements from many different species:
** The ''T. rex'' template provides her overall body plan and an extremely strong bite force, although her own overall skull shape isn't quite as robust as a ''Tyrannosaurus''[='s=].
** Horns across her head and body are from ''Carnotaurus'', ''Majungasaurus'', ''Rugops'', and ''Giganotosaurus'' DNA. This gives her an almost demonic appearance and a very tough hide, ignoring wounds from other dinosaurs and ''shrugging off'' multiple shotgun blasts. This theropod blend also gives her a set of teeth that regrow quickly.
** Camouflage from cuttlefish DNA -- the DNA was intended to speed up growth, meaning she's also much larger than a ''T. rex'' would be at her age. Her standard color is albino-white, but when in the forest it can shift to a very convincing brown-spackled-with-green pattern.
** Wide-opening jaws, swallowing ability, and infrared vision are apparently from snake DNA.
** Huge, somewhat conical teeth from ''Deinosuchus''.
** The ability to shift her body temperature, from tropical frog DNA. This was meant to allow her to survive without a hitch in Isla Nubla's tropical climate, but it resulted in ''Indominus'' having the ability to hide from infrared sensors. The end result is that in a dark forest at night, you can't see the ''I. rex'' due to its camouflage and your heat sensors are useless -- but she ''can'' see you with her own heat vision.
** Long clawed arms, quills, and a slimmer head profile from ''Velociraptor'' DNA. Also a source of her heightened intelligence over a ''T. rex''. [[spoiler:Being part-raptor means the raptor pack pauses instead of immediately attacking her, starts communicating with her (giving friendly raptor-like chirps), and accepts the huge ''I. rex'' as their new Alpha.]]
** The main source of her large arms with huge claws is actually stated to be ''[[http://www.wired.com/2015/06/jack-horner-making-indominus-rex/ Therizinosaurus]]''.
** Opposable thumbs from an unknown source.
* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: The ''I. rex'' has lots and lots of sharp, irregular teeth, similar to the trio of ''Vastatosaurus rex'' from ''Film/KingKong2005''. Just take a [[https://pm1.narvii.com/6501/baa4bf378f15fedabc885402fc8dfcd00799a39f_hq.jpg look at this]].
* NoSell: Minigun rounds? No big deal. An Ankylosaurus' tail club? 'Tis but a scratch! ''Velociraptor'' attacks? Like the bite of a flea! The ''Indominus'' only really has a hard time when she comes face-to-face with the veteran ''Tyrannosaurus'', Roberta/Rexy.
* NonMaliciousMonster: One of the only dinosaurs (along with her successor, the ''Indoraptor'') in which this is deliberately averted. It's made explicitly clear she doesn't kill for food or some other natural reason, only for [[ForTheEvulz the enjoyment of it]] [[note]]However, given how she was raised in isolation for most of her life, there's a possibility she's merely trying to discern where she 'fits' on Isla Nublar[[/note]] and being created to be hyper aggressive.
* OhCrap: She tends to inspire this reaction from anyone who crosses her path, but she herself gets one [[spoiler:when the ''Mosasaurus'' is about to drag her into the lagoon; she gets a look of utter ''terror'' on her face]].
* PlotTailoredToTheParty:
** Almost the entire movie consists of various attempts to neutralize her, and being countered by a revealed ability perfect for the situation. [[spoiler:Justified as she was intentionally given a high intellect and several camouflage abilities as part of Hoskins' and Wu's scheme to create the perfect living weapon.]]
** Season 1 of ''Camp Cretaceous'' is structured around the timeline of the ''Indominus'''s rampage in the film, with the creature appearing or disappearing from the show depending on whether the film accounts for her whereabouts at any given point (with the only overlap between the two being the film's aviary scene, which the campers witness from a different angle).
* PrehistoricMonster: A genetically-engineered hybrid dinosaur made from various DNA of prehistoric and modern-day animals, deliberately designed to be bigger and meaner than ''T. rex'' with exaggerated predatory features, and spent most of its life in an isolated, small enclosure. The result? A vicious, unstoppable monster bent on slaughtering the entire population of dinosaurs and humans on the island for sport.
* PsychoPrototype: [[spoiler:It turns out Hoskins knew perfectly well what he was doing when he ordered that the ''I. rex'' be made an aggressive predator with high intelligence (apart from the sheer hubris of believing he could control her); he wanted to sell her genetic template as a terror weapon, or possibly the ''Velociraptors'' if ''they'' brought her down.]]
* RapidAging: Dr. Wu's stated reason for giving her cuttlefish DNA.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: She has red irises.
* RuleOfCool: Deconstructed. She was designed to be the biggest, baddest, coolest dinosaur of all time. This led to her becoming a violent, uncontrollable, sadistic monster.
* {{Sadist}}: She doesn't strictly ''kill'' for pleasure, she ''hunts'' for it. [[spoiler: This is most chillingly brought to light upon discovering she left one of her suffering victims ''still alive'' to expire in an excruciating slowness.]]
* SeldomSeenSpecies: Downplayed, among her genetic makeup are several of these; ''Therizinosaurus'', ''Majungasaurus'', ''Rugops'', and cuttlefish are not animals you typically see in the media. However, none of these dinosaurs are ever mentioned in the movie, [[AllThereInTheManual only on the website]].
* SheIsTheKing: ''Indominus rex'' translates to "Untamable King" or "Unbeatable King", but this "king" is female.
* SkullForAHead: Given her skin is [[spoiler:typically]] white and her skull has recesses in the exact locations that the cavities on a ''Tyrannosaurus'' skull are located, it gives this impression.
* SlasherSmile: There are several instances where the ''I. rex'' seems to be sadistically smiling at all of the death and chaos she's caused on the island, mainly because she has no lips and so her teeth are constantly exposed.
* SpikesOfVillainy: Her neck and back are armored by pointy osteoderms inherited from her abelisaur genetic contributors -- namely ''Carnotaurus'', ''Majungasaurus'', and ''Rugops'' -- that emphasize her menacing appearance and nature.
* StealthyCephalopod: The ''Indominus rex'' is able to camouflage itself against the jungle backdrop, with Dr. Wu later saying that this is a direct result of the cuttlefish DNA used to create it.
* StealthyColossus: Thanks to her ability to camouflage herself and hide her heat signature, when she doesn't want to be found she is virtually undetectable.
* SuperIntelligence: Her intelligence isn't even human-like, it's above-average human intelligence. Not only it can figure it is being tracked by [=RFID=] despite knowing nothing about the technology or the human's tracking ability, but it can set a trap with it, seemingly figures out how ''Pteranodons'' will react to their aviary being broken into and communicate with another species because it shares a part of her DNA.
* SuperToughness: She is extremely durable. Getting hit in the '''head''' by an ''Ankylosaurus'' just annoys her, rather than breaking her skull. [[spoiler:In the fight with Rexy, she survives getting bitten on the neck and keeps fighting. Nothing short of getting dragged into the water by the one predator bigger than she is stops her.]]
* SuperPrototype: The ''Indominus'' is the first fully developed true dinosaurian hybrid and is far stronger than her successor the ''Indoraptor'', being largely unharmed by even heavy ordanance and capable of overpowering Rexy, whereas the ''Indoraptor'' was hurled out of a window by Blue.
* TragicMonster: [[spoiler: Given that she was deliberately engineered to be as aggressive and vicious as possible, and raised in total isolation. Owen theorizes that her actions are driven by the fact that she has no idea how to interact with her environment; therefore, she sees any living creature as a threat.]]
* TRexpy: One of the creatures making up her genetic material is ''Tyrannosaurus rex'', which shows in her physical appearance. She's a gigantic predator, even larger than ''T. rex'', with a similar bulky build and large head. However, her arms are much longer than ''T. rex'''s, she's able to grasp with them, and her body is covered in SpikesOfVillainy. Additionally, she has odd features like extendable jaws similar to a snake, and camouflage abilities similar to a cuttlefish.
* TropeCoTropeOfTheWeek: Claire gets investors to back the ''I. rex'' reveal, leading to "Verizon Wireless Presents the ''Indominus rex''". Lowery is not amused.
* UnskilledButStrong: An engineered apex predator who has brawn and brain, but little in the way of experience. Played straight with the encounter with the ''T. rex.'' While the ''I. rex'' is tough and formidable, the ''T. rex'' is plainly battle-scarred and has fighting experience. The encounter with the ''T. rex'' is the first time the ''I. rex'' has encountered an opponent who isn't afraid, knows how to fight ''and fights back,'' and is approximately the same size as she is. The ''T. rex'' also has the advantage of not going up against the ''I. rex'' alone.
* VillainousBreakdown: When the raptors return to Owen's side, ''Indominus'' reacts quite violently. It only gets worse as she fights them while being shot at by Owen, [[spoiler: faces off against Rexy, and is distracted and attacked by Blue]]. That last one causes ''Indominus'' to give a body-shaking bellow of pure rage and madness just before [[spoiler: she gets manhandled, or rather, dino-handled, by Rexy and Blue and then dragged underwater by ''Mosasaurus'']].
* VillainousLegacy: Her [[LateArrivalSpoiler death at the jaws of the ''Mosasaurus'']] is confirmed in ''Film/JurassicWorldFallenKingdom'', where her skeleton is discovered at the bottom of the ''Mosasaurus'' enclosure by a submersible. The bioweapon program that created her, however, deemed her enough of a success to move on to the next stage: the ''Indoraptor''.
* VolumetricMouth: Played for horror. She can open her mouth extremely wide, possibly as a result of her snake DNA. [[https://breakinggeek.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/jurassic-world-tv-spot-indominus-rex-huge-jaws.png Check THIS out!]].
* WhatDidYouExpectWhenYouNamedIt: Par for the course -- naming it after a word meaning "untamable" means all attempts at controlling it ''will'' backfire. Owen is close to rolling his eyes when Claire reveals the name.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Being raised in isolation with no other creatures to bond with causes her to see the world outside her paddock as one big hunting ground. [[spoiler:The exceptions are the raptors and ultimately, even they aren't safe from her wrath.]]

Officially '''''the''''' bigger fish to ''everything'' on the island.[[note]]She's ''also'' '''''the''''' bigger fish to ''nearly everything in the world's oceans'' after her escape.[[/note]]
----
* AccidentalHero: When you get right down to it, [[spoiler:she doesn't know the ''I. rex'' is the villain, she was just hungry after not being fed since lunchtime]].
* AccidentalMurder: "Murder" might be too strong a word (she is an animal without a concept of good or evil, after all) but [[spoiler:her devouring Zara could be seen as this, as she was clearly aiming for the ''Pteranodon'']].
* AllPowerfulBystander: Is the biggest and strongest creature in the park, even more so than the ''Indominus''. However, given her CripplingOverspecialization and NonMaliciousMonster statuses (see below), she mostly just keeps to herself [[spoiler:until the ''Indominus'' eventually gets too close to her lagoon during the FinalBattle]].
* AlwaysABiggerFish: As part of the feeding show: In an aquatic exhibit surrounding a lagoon, a deceased Great White Shark hangs from a revolving rail towards the lagoon. She's an impressive size, which all but extenuates the enormity of the ''Mosasaurus'', whom promptly lunges out of the water and eats the whole shark in two bites (whatever was left fell from the rail into the water). Later becomes this to a ''Pteranodon''. [[spoiler: Then she receives one ''very'' large midnight snack when the ''I. rex'', who is pushed close to the lagoon's edge by Blue and the ''T. rex'' during the climactic battle, comes within munching reach.]]
* AnimalJingoism: Surprise surprise, she likes the taste of pterosaur meat.
* AnimalsNotToScale: Mixed with YourSizeMayVary as the ''Mosasaurus'' seemed to change size from scene to scene.
** Subverted in the first ''Jurassic World''. It was initially feared by viewers that the ''Mosasaurus'' in the film would be oversized based on her appearance in the trailer (estimated, based on the relative size of everything around her, to have been blue whale-sized or even more), but it turns out this was actually due to forced perspective. The ''Mosasaurus''' true size is the more reasonable estimate of sixty feet (only about a foot longer than the estimated length of the real animal).
** Played straight at the beginning of the sequel, where she seems to have ballooned up to around eight times her original size. For reference, a roughly 40 to 60-foot-long helicopter is the same size as her head, meaning her whole body must be ''over 120 to 200 feet long!'' Then she seemingly shrinks to her original size in the end [[note]]This is based on how big the great white she was fed is. It looked like a female, and the average size of a great white female is 15 to 21 feet.[[/note]]
** [[WesternAnimation/JurassicWorldCampCretaceous Camp Cretaceous]], though, shows the scene in a different perspective, with the helicopter appearing to be around Rexy's size and the ''Mosasaurus'' appearing much smaller, so it's possible that forced perspective was at play in the sequel.
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:Lands the finishing blow on the ''Indominus rex'' at the end of the final battle]].
* TheCameo: During the end credits for ''Film/JurassicWorldBattleAtBigRock'', she's seen snatching a breaching great white shark out of the air, presumably off of the coast of South Africa.
* CanonImmigrant: ''Mosasaurus'' has been featured in numerous video games based on the franchise. Though [[VideoGame/JurassicParkTheGame the last time]] Isla Nublar had a mosasaur it was a ''Tylosaurus''.
* ChekhovsGunman: She ends up delivering the fatal blow to [[spoiler:the ''I. rex'']].
* CripplingOverspecialization: She's a powerful creature, the largest carnivore in the park, but she's also confined to her lagoon, [[spoiler:and as far as she can jump out of the water]].
* TheDreaded: It goes with being the apex predator of the ocean.
* DynamicEntry: The only kind of entry she can make.
* HairTriggerTemper: Has a high Aggression Index. Unlike the other animals with such indexes, however, [[InformedAttribute the film does little to demonstrate this]].
* {{Kaiju}}: Had a growth spurt between ''World'' and ''Fallen Kingdom'', placing her squarely in this category.
* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: She even has teeth on her palate!
* NeverSmileAtACrocodile: Although a giant sea lizard, she has crocodile-like jaws and several rows of spines on her back that her real life equivalent [[ArtisticLicensePaleontology probably didn't have]].
* NonMaliciousMonster: She more or less acted the way any large aquatic predator in a tank would if something foreign fell in or was hanging over said tank. Though her aggression is labelled as being "high", she is not considered to be a threat to the tourists. That being said in the sequel she is actively eating surfers instead of hunting ocean animals possibly subverting this.
* RealityIsUnrealistic: Real mosasaurs are believed to probably have had forked tongues (by comparison with its closest living relatives, snakes, monitor lizards, and gila monsters, and examining the structure of the jaws), but here is given a unforked one because, in the words of one of the effects supervisors, it made her "more believable".[[note]]Kinda ironic when you consider the franchise's ''Velociraptor'' were originally going to have forked tongues, but were removed for being "inaccurate".[[/note]]
* SeaMonster:
** She's a 60-foot-long monster that eats great white sharks for lunch. Subverted, though, as she seems relatively tame (or at least enough to be trusted with ''a stadium full of people'') and her handler is perfectly capable of standing on a platform above her tank without worrying about being eaten. [[spoiler:Indeed, she only causes one known human casualty, and only by accident.]] As well as this, [[spoiler:it is shown that she ''can'' reach the humans on the bank, as she does it for the ''I. rex''. It seems that, as long as she's regularly fed, she has no interest in munching the humans, who are ''much'' smaller than a shark and probably wouldn't fill her up.]]
** Played straight in [[spoiler:''[[Film/JurassicWorldFallenKingdom Fallen Kingdom]]'', with the now escaped ''Mosasaurus'' actively hunting surfers off the coastline]].
* ShownTheirWork: She has the beginnings of a fluke on her tail and an extra set of teeth on her palate.
* StealthyColossus: In the opening scene of ''Fallen Kingdom'', she manages to creep up on the small submarine and close her jaws on it without the men inside noticing her.
* StockDinosaurs: Though not a true dinosaur, ''Mosasaurus'' is a fairly well-known animal. The thing is, they're rarely depicted in non-documentary material, so this film might change that...
* StockSoundEffect: Her vocalizations have noticeable whale songs in them, to emphasize the fact that she's a marine animal and thus distinguish her from the land-dwelling animals.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Great white sharks seem to be her favorite snack.
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: ''Camp Cretaceous'' reveals that the ''Indominus rex'' carcass is ''in pieces'', while ''Fallen Kingdom'' reveals that the ''Indominus rex's'' rib-cage is upside down, but the head is not (which it would be if it fell while attached to the body). Presumably, this means that the ''Mosasaurus'' ''tore off the head by snapping the Indominus's neck'' while drowning it.
* YourSizeMayVary: While slightly over-sized in ''Jurassic World'', in ''Fallen Kingdom'' she's suddenly gargantuan for no discernible reason.

->'''Aggression Index:''' Low
->'''Park Attraction:''' Gyrosphere
->'''Diet:''' Herbivore

->''"''Apatosaurus'' can't chew. It has to swallow all of its plant food whole."''
-->-- '''Jurassic World website'''

One of Jurassic World's attractions, visible via the Gyrosphere Safari and the Cretaceous River Cruise. It is a long necked herbivorous dinosaur.
----
* AdaptationalWimp: Big time. In reality ''Apatosaurus'' was a very robust, muscular animal that was well equipped to defend itself against predators with sheer size, large thumb claws, thick neck, and a tail that could shatter bones. Here it's a SacrificialLamb that get slaughtered in mass by the ''Indominus'' offscreen. To add insult to injury, it's scrawnier than the real animal.
* ArtisticLicensePaleontology:
** Despite the website stating ''Apatosaurus'' cannot chew, it is seen doing so in the movie like the ''Brachiosaurus'' from the previous films. Also, its skin is leathery and wrinkled like an elephant's as opposed to covered in pebbly scales, and the thinner neck is more akin to ''Diplodocus''. And while this is still debatable, it seems that sauropod mouths would have had a beak-like keratinous sheath rather than fleshy, pliable lips like in the film, based on more well-preserved skulls of ''Camarasaurus'' and the recently-discovered ''Lavocatisaurus''.
* CanonImmigrant: Crossing over somewhat with MythologyGag; the films have never previously featured an ''Apatosaurus''. [[Literature/JurassicPark The original book]], however, does.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: The ''I. rex'' horribly mauls a herd of them, then leaves them to die slowly. [[ForTheEvulz For fun]].
* GentleGiant: Hence why theirs is an enclosure in which humans can interact somewhat with them.
* HerbivoresAreFriendly: Their Aggression Index is listed as "Low". This makes the ''I. rex's'' brutal attack on them all the more heartbreaking.
* LongNeck: As a sauropod, this is to be expected.
* RedShirt: Owen and Claire find ''a field'' littered with ''Apatosaurus'' corpses after the ''I. rex'' makes its way to Gallimimus Valley.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: The baby ones. A kid actually hugs one of them!
* ShownTheirWork: A rare fictional sauropod with correctly designed forefeet (single claw, no/fused visible digits).
* StockDinosaurs: A fairly iconic species.

->''"''Pteranodon'' have three clawed fingers on each hand, and four clawed toes on each foot."''
-->-- '''Jurassic World website'''

A famous pterosaur (flying reptile, but not a dinosaur) housed in an enormous aviary in Jurassic World, at the end of the Cretaceous River Cruise.
----
* AnimalGenderBender: An aversion; it has been confirmed Jurassic World's ''Pteranodon'' are all female, and they do have the short crests that only the females possess. They are still too big for female ''Pteranodon'' though (they are as big as the males, when they should be smaller).
* AnimalJingoism: One of them carries on the grand tradition of pterosaurs being eaten by giant sea reptiles.
* AnimalsNotToScale: It's the right size for a ''Pteranodon''... if they were ''males''. In reality, female ''Pteranodon'' were only about half the size of the males.
* DeathFromAbove: Attack people on the ground.
* FragileSpeedster: Despite their large size, a single tranquilizer dart can knock them out of the sky. The reason they're difficult to take out is partly because they're capable of flight and thus very mobile and maneuverable, and partly because they attack in massive numbers.
* GlassCannon: They're powerful flyers and strong enough to hoist a human into the air, but they can be taken down by a single tranquilizer dart.
* HairTriggerTemper: Stated to have a high Aggression Index. The ''I. rex'' uses this to her advantage by scaring them into a frenzy and more or less ''sending them to attack Masrani's helicopter''. Once they arrive at the park centre, they start indiscriminately divebombing the crowds unprovoked.
* HistoricalBadassUpgrade: Just like the previous movie, they're stronger and scarier than real ''Pteranodons''.
* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: While real life ''Pteranodons'' were pelican-like fish eaters, these are eagle-like predators.
* IAmNotLeftHanded: A sort of meta case. The film seems to take a brief [[HopeSpot sigh of relief]] after [[spoiler:Zara]] escapes one of the ''Pteranodons'' in the lagoon. Then she learns that they can swim...
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Their modus operandi, as two unfortunate ACU troopers learn the hard way. Throughout their attack on Main Street, they can be seen pinning hapless people down and pecking at them with their long, spear-like beaks.
* KidnappingBirdOfPrey: One almost grants [[spoiler:Zara]] the dubious honor of being the first human female to die in a ''Franchise/JurassicPark'' film, only to have its thunder stolen by the ''Mosasaurus''. Another one tries to do this to a baby ''Triceratops'' and [[WouldHurtAChild presumably some of the kids in the petting zoo]].
* MassOhCrap: The flock flees from the Aviary after the ''I. rex'' shows up. Given ''what'' the ''I. rex'' actually ''is'', can you really blame them?
* MonsterMunch: The one that was [[spoiler:killing Zara]] becomes this for the ''Mosasaurus''.
* NonMaliciousMonster: Though they collectively kill more people than any other creature in the film, they only act out of maddened instinct after the ''I. rex'' frightens them out of the Aviary.
* PteroSoarer: For once in the series, this trope is actually kind of subverted. On the one wing, they're naked, have grasping talons, launch by jumping instead of vaulting with their wings and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking are ugly]]. On the other wing, they're toothless, quadrupedal and are probably the only movie ''Pteranodons'' shown to [[ShownTheirWork dive into the water for food]] (something even documentary media is known to forget). Additionally, the website states that they're fish-eaters. Or at least, ''primarily'' fish-eaters. This combination makes them likely the ''most'' accurate ''Pteranodons'' in the whole franchise.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: They have a red, grey and tan color scheme and act as minor antagonists.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When they see the ''[[TheDreaded Indominus rex]]'' crashing into their Aviary, their first response is to get out of there as fast as they can.
* StockDinosaurs: Like the ''Mosasaurus'', they're not true dinosaurs. However, ''Pteranodon'' is the most iconic pterosaur in the public imagination.
* SwallowedWhole: [[spoiler:The one that was eaten by the ''Mosasaurus'' can be seen feebly trying to flap its wings afterward, implying that it was still alive after being chomped]].
* ToothyBird: Averted this time, as they're correctly portrayed without any teeth[[note]]although upon closer inspection they seem to possess small teeth-like bumps lining their bill (reminiscent of certain diving birds and waterfowl)[[/note]]. Oddly enough, the toys play this straight.
* WouldHurtAChild: A swarm of them attacks the Gentle Giants Petting Zoo and one attempts to carry off a baby ''Triceratops''. Fortunately for the little dino, it proves to be too heavy for the ''Pteranodon'' to carry.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: For the third time in the on-screen franchise, they are given a drastic redesign. Justified in that these ''Pteranodons'' are most likely a new batch of clones.
* ZergRush: After the ''I. rex'' scares them and their ''Dimorphodon'' neighbors out of the Aviary, they vent their frustrations out on terrified tourists in Main Street en masse. Somewhat TruthInTelevision, as there is good evidence to suggest that ''Pteranodons'' were fairly gregarious creatures (though they'd probably not attack people in such large numbers).

-->-- '''Jurassic World website'''

A type of pterosaur that lives in the Aviary alongside the larger ''Pteranodon''.
----
* AlasPoorVillain: "Villain" is probably [[CarnivoreConfusion too strong a word]], but it's hard not to feel sorry for one of them when it's [[KickTheDog callously shot out of the air]] by one of Hoskins' mercenaries.
* AnimalsNotToScale: Downplayed; their wingspans are twice as big as the real animal, according to supplementary material[[note]]the ones in the film have an eight foot wingspan, the real deal only had a four foot wingspan[[/note]].
* CanonImmigrant: Made its first appearance in the ''Lost World'' video game.
* DeathFromAbove: In [[DeathWorld a place like Jurassic World]], would you expect them to be anything else?
* {{Expy}}: Their role seems to amount to being flying versions of the ''Compsognathus'' from the second movie.
* FlyingFlightlessBird: Downplayed, as real life ''Dimorphodons'' still ''could'' fly, but they were likely not very good at it, due to their short wings and heavy bodies, and thus they probably couldn't cover as much ground as the ''Dimorphodons'' in the film do.
* FragileSpeedster: Like their compatriots, the ''Dimorphodons'' are built for flying and quite agile, but they lack proper defenses beyond that, making it easy to simply tranq them out of the sky.
* GlassCannon: They can attack in superior numbers and are stronger than they look, but their only real defenses are flying and biting.
* HistoricalBadassUpgrade: The real life ''Dimorphodon'' was a poor flyer that spent much of its time on the ground and only took to the air in emergencies. Here, they are DeathFromAbove.
* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: The real life ''Dimorphodon'' was also a harmless creature that was content to grub around in the dirt for bugs or hunt small animals in the trees or on the ground. Here, it's depicted as a tiny little flying demon.
* KillerRabbit: Smaller than ''Pteranodon'', but still deadly.
* MamaBear: If you walk into their nesting ground, the '' entire flock'' will come straight for you.
* MassOhCrap: The flock flees from the Aviary after the ''I. rex'' shows up.
* NonMaliciousMonster: Along with the ''Pteranodon'', they descend upon Main Street after being frightened from the Aviary.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: One of them can briefly be seen lifting a grown man off the ground (though it drops him shortly afterward) and another manages to knock Owen down with surprising ease.
* PteroSoarer: As usual. Doubly so in that not only is it ever an ugly dragon-like monstrosity (as opposed to the more elegant real pterosaurs), but also in that the real animal was a poor flyer. It's like trying to depict a ''chicken'' as a winged menace.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When they see the ''[[TheDreaded Indominus rex]]'' crashing into their Aviary, their first response is to get out of there as fast as they can.
* SeldomSeenSpecies: In educational material, ''Dimorphodon'' is a borderline [[StockDinosaurs Stock Pterosaur]], but in film media it's pretty rare.
* ShownTheirWork: In contrast to ''Pteranodon'', they are correctly portrayed with pycnofibres.
* TheSwarm: They descend on terrified tourists in one of these.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Inexplicably missing in the sequel.
* ZergRush: After the ''I. rex'' scares them and their ''Pteranodon'' neighbors out of the Aviary, they vent their frustrations out on terrified tourists in Main Street en masse. Unlike the ''Pteranodons'', there isn't real life evidence to suggest that ''Dimorphodons'' hunted in groups.

A famous dinosaur with three horns on its face. Baby ones are present in the "Gentle Giants Petting Zoo", while the adults reside in "Triceratops Valley" and the Gyrosphere Safari.
----
* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: Besides having elephant-like feet, it should have scutes on the back and belly scales like a crocodile. Plus the keratin sheath should form a mask covering the upper part of the head rather than covering just the horns.

A famous dinosaur recognized by the back plates and spiked tail. Resides in "Cretaceous Cruise", but can also be viewed in the Gyrosphere Safari and Gentle Giants Petting Zoo.
----
* AnimalsNotToScale: Averted, as they are accurately sized this time.
* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: The real ''Stegosaurus'' had a longer neck with gular armor. It also kept the tail elevated at all times, contrary to the movie, which is jarring given the stegosaurs in previous movies were portrayed with more accurate tail-raised postures[[note]]or at least the CGI versions; the ''Stego'' animatronic in ''TLW'' had a low-hanging tail if you look closely[[/note]]. Although this could be justified in that it's a result of living in captivity, seeing as how the tail-raised stegosaurs previously seen were all wild. And then in ''Fallen Kingdom'' they seems to have ditched their ornithischian beak (or made it subtle, like with the ''Gallimimus'').
* BewareMyStingerTail: The spiked tail, famously known as a [[ComicStrip/TheFarSide thagomizer]].
* BewareTheNiceOnes: While listed with low aggression, they can defend themselves very well.
* HerbivoresAreFriendly: Has a low aggression level, even though the wild ones seen in ''Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark'' were fairly aggressive and the real ''Stegosaurus'' may well have been among the most dangerous dinosaurs of its time. Possibly justified, as they were raised in captivity and may have also been genetically-altered to be docile towards humans.

A hadrosaur or duck-billed dinosaur known for having a tubelike crest on the back of the head. They can be found in Gallimimus Valley, the Gentle Giants Petting Zoo, and the Gyrosphere Safari.
----
* AnimalGenderBender: Female ''Parasaurolophus'' had rather short crests, but the ones in the film all have long crests. However, some studies suggest the short-crested specimens are actually a separate species (''Parasaurolophus cyrtocristatus'') from the long-crested ones (''Parasaurolophus walkeri'').
* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: Adult ''Parasaurolophus'' walked on all fours, but the ones in the film are [[FourLegsGoodTwoLegsBetter mainly bipedal]] (they do get quadrupedal for a brief moment in the FunnyBackgroundEvent mentioned below). It doesn't help they have shorter forelimbs than in reality.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Two of them can be seen fighting while Zach and Gray go gyrosphering offroad.
* HerbivoresAreFriendly: On par for the usual harmless depiction of hadrosaurs. Although in RealLife, hadrosaurs may have been much more dangerous, having muscular frames and whip-like tails capable of knocking down large predators.
* NoisyNature: The crest is used for communication.
* SeldomSeenSpecies: Played with. While the genus itself is perhaps the most famous hadrosaur, the ''Para'' seen on the viral website and which inhabits ''Gallimimus'' Valley is ''Parasaurolophus tubicen'', while the ones seen on the movie proper are the more well-known ''Parasaurolophus walkeri''.
* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: Unlike the other dinosaurs featured and despite being one of the commonly seen herbivores in the film, ''Parasaurolophus'' does not appear in the trailers nor has a promotional render, but it does eventually appear in the TV spots nearing the film's premiere. They have an even worse time in ''Fallen Kingdom'', where once again the species doesn't gain a promotional render and never shows up at all in the clips which led to viewers thinking it's not featured in the film.
* StockDinosaurs: ''Parasaurolophus'' is probably one of the most well-known duck-billed dinosaurs out there, if not THE most well-known duck-billed dinosaur.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The ''Para'' are seemingly missing in ''Fallen Kingdom''. [[spoiler:Subverted when they finally appear amongst the dinosaurs released from Lockwood Manor.]]

-----
* AdaptationalDyeJob: Loses the black, red, and tan colouration it had in ''Jurassic Park III'' in favour of a uniform brownish grey.
* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: ''Ankylosaurus'' had more smoothed armor and none of those large spikes along the sides. Its beak was also much broader and didn't have such a pointed tip in the real animal.
* AscendedExtra: A minor example. ''Ankylosaurus'' made a few brief cameos in ''Film/JurassicParkIII'', but here they get their own scene interacting with the kids and ''Indominus rex'', and one of them even fights the hybrid theropod briefly.
* AttackItsWeakPoint: Its underside and its head are vulnerable. Unfortunately for the one that fights the ''Indominus'', the predator figures this out.
* BewareMyStingerTail: The thick club on their tail. Zach and Gray get to see it in action when the ''Ankylosaurus'' nearly smashes their Gyrosphere. The ''Indominus'', however, shrugs off a blow to the head.
* FlippingHelpless: How the ''Indominus'' manages to finish one off.
* HerbivoresAreFriendly: Averted. Their Aggression Index is "medium". Actually, they will only attack if you come close enough that they feel threatened, though when the ''I. rex'' attacks they go into a blind panic and start lashing out at everything in sight.
* NoSell: The ''Indominus'' trying to bite one doesn't work at first because even her jaws can't get through its armor. [[AttackItsWeakPoint Its unprotected underside is a different story]].
* OffWithHisHead: The one that fights ''Indominus'' gets decapitated by her.
* MassOhCrap: The quartet of them all panic when they are confronted by the ''I. rex''.
* StockDinosaurs: Granted, they are not depicted accurately in terms of physical appearance.
* TheWorfEffect: Such a resilient creature's defeat at the claws of ''I. rex'' is the first clear look at the latter's threat level.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: The Ankylos seen in the two ''Jurassic World'' films bear some notable differences when compared with the [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/jurassicpark/images/b/b3/Anky.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20111219053457&path-prefix=es original ones]] seen in ''Film/JurassicParkIII'', which had slightly shorter spikes, a darker armor color, a lighter colored body and a red stripe across their face.

An ornithomimid or ostrich-like dinosaur. Babies can be found in the Gentle Giants Petting Zoo, while the adults reside in ''Gallimimus'' Valley.
----
* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: The lack of feathers in the film version notwithstanding, the Toy/{{LEGO}} version is just a generic theropod that looks nothing like a ''Gallimimus''. Especially jarring considering ''[[VideoGame/LegoAdaptationGame LEGO Jurassic World]]'''s version properly looks more like a ''Gallimimus''.
* ContinuityNod: The scene their cameo takes place in was filmed in the same area as the ''Gallimimus'' scene from the original film.
* FragileSpeedster: One of the fastest dinosaurs in the park, but beyond that have no real defenses against predators. As the first film shows, any predator that can go after them is usually capable of easily killing them.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: During the stampede from the eruption, one of them doesn't look where it's going and bumps into an ''Allosaurus'', much to the predator's irritance. However, this only occurs in the trailers.
* HerbivoresAreFriendly: Inverted. They are omnivorous, but their aggression level is listed as low. Their main tour location is a safari wherein people can ride alongside flocks of them as they run, and children are allowed to hold and pet the baby ones in the petting zoo.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: The babies are tiny and adorable.
* StockDinosaurs: Like ''Velociraptors'', they became stock because of the ''Franchise/JurassicPark'' franchise.
* ToothyBird: A really weird and confusing example. The ones in the movie have small teeth if you look closely, and the official website shows a picture of a toothed ''Gallimimus''. And yet the website also claims that ''Gallimimus'' "doesn't have a single tooth in its mouth". So which is it?

----
* BeastlyBloodsports: Their purpose in the park is an arena where they fight each other. The VideoGame/LegoAdaptationGame suggests a subversion in that the ''Pachycephalosauruses'' simply test their skills on large stone pillars rather than each other.
* ButtMonkey: Between being the first dinosaur captured in ''Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark'' and having to be tranquilized after it gets loose in this film, the poor thing can't seem to catch a break. Lowery even asks for sympathy for it.
* TheCameo: One appears once for a brief moment on security camera footage on the monitor being sedated after having escaped.
* HardHead: Their best-known feature.
* HeadbuttingPachy: The species' ultimate trait.
* HerbivoresAreFriendly: Averted. Once angry, they will headbutt into things.
* RammingAlwaysWorks: The purpose of its thick skull is to [[UseYourHead use its head to smash stuff]]. And apparently, it's hard enough to break through security barriers, to the park staff's perpetual frustration.
* StockDinosaurs: One iconic dinosaur, though in this movie more discussed than seen, in contrast to their appearance in ''Film/{{The Lost World|JurassicPark}}''.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Is missing in the sequel, though fellow pachycephalosaurid ''Stygimoloch'' is featured prominently.
** Subverted, somewhat hilariously. ''Stygimoloch'' is now considered a junior synonym[[note]] If two initially seemingly distinct species are later found to be different forms of the same species, the younger or “junior” name falls into disuse in favor of the older name given to the species when it was first discovered.[[/note]] to ''Pachycephalosaurus''. Meaning that the ''Stygimoloch'' in ''Fallen Kingdom'', is actually just a juvenile ''Pachycephalosaurus''.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Hoskins starts talking about how war is the natural state of the world and that Velociraptors could be the perfect field weapon in modern warfare, in contrast to Owen and Barry who genuinely care for the raptors' wellbeing, who both genuinely care for the raptors' well-being and think attempting to control wild animals is insane. Hoskins, on the other hand, comes across as uncaring and obsessed with the animals' applications, not the animals themselves.

!!The ''Velociraptor'' Pack
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/843f77631e450f2da6931f8d0b30ce91.jpg]]

->'''Park Attraction:''' Restricted

->''"I don't 'control' the raptors, it's a relationship. It's based on mutual respect."''
-->--'''Owen Grady'''

The species of intelligent pack hunters which brought so much bloodshed upon people in years past. This time around, they've been cordoned off from the tourist-accessible park itself while Owen analyzes their behavior. Owen has given them names: '''Blue''', '''Charlie''', '''Delta''', and '''Echo'''. Blue is the pack leader and the oldest, Charlie is the youngest and most unpredictable, Delta has more avian DNA than the rest of her pack, and Echo has scars from challenging Blue for dominance when they were younger.

* ActionGirl: Confirmed in [[AllThereInTheManual the LEGO Jurassic World]] site, which indicates that there isn't amphibian DNA in the mix. Each raptor has DNA from different reptiles and birds, effectively removing any genes that allowed the [[Film/JurassicPark original pack]] to change their sexes in a single-sex environment.
* AerithAndBob: After a fashion. Charlie, Delta, and Echo are NATO alphabet codes, Blue isn't. Though Owen clarifies that she's the Beta.
* AlphabeticalThemeNaming: Their names' initials follow alphabetical order: '''B'''lue, '''C'''harlie, '''D'''elta, '''E'''cho. Where's '''A'''lpha, you ask? Owen IS the Alpha.
* AmazonBrigade: Given that they're a pack of female raptors, saying that they're capable of kicking ass is a bit of an understatement. They can and WILL engage any opponents, regardless of their weapons or size.
* BackToBackBadasses: [[spoiler: Delta and Echo battle the ''Indominus'' alongside Owen. When they're killed, Blue fights the hybrid alongside Rexy!]]
* BerserkButton: Hurting any of their pack members, raptor ''and'' human alike, will result in them trying to rip you apart. [[spoiler: Right, [=InGen=] mercs and ''Indominus''?]]
* ColorCodedCharacters: The individual raptors have different color patterns as a result of their hybridizations. Blue is [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin blue]] with patterns from an Black-throated African Monitor Lizard, Charlie is brown (like the raptors in the original movie) with striped patterns from an Iguana, Delta is green, and Echo is sandy yellow.
* DomesticatedDinosaurs: Downplayed. While they're still not exactly safe for the average untrained person to be around, Owen's work with them means that they no longer go into SuperPersistentPredator mode around all humans. Hoskins thinks this means they will obey orders and can be controlled. Owen desperately tries to stress to him that even he can't "control" the raptors and it took years ''raising them from birth'' just to be able to get them to pause and stand back instead of attacking him -- ''most'' of the time. Like an angry zoo lion, they still try to take swipes at him if they're frustrated. They "respect" him as their Alpha, but he continues to respect that they could easily rip out his throat if he's not careful around them; even actual Alphas in nature have to watch their backs lest some challenger for dominance gets the best of them. When Hoskins starts ranting about raptors being trained to replace targeted drone strikes, Owen shoots him a look as if he is insane. [[spoiler: Further played with halfway through the film when they start attacking Hoskins and his team, but Owen is nowhere in sight for much of this scene. And immediately afterwards, Delta and Echo attack the van containing Claire and her nephews. Blue also traps and attacks Barry, who is the only human besides Owen that she and the others halfway trust, and has to be distracted by Owen calling to her and revving his motorcycle. To her credit,though, she actually pauses her attack when Barry himself [[SayMyName calls her name]].]]
* TheDreaded: They are still feared enough to be left off the list of tourist attractions in Jurassic World. [[spoiler:In ''Fallen Kingdom'', Claire outright tells Lockwood that they'll never be able to capture Blue]].
** [[spoiler: Owen, however, seems to be the exception as they like him.]]
* EvilDetectingDog: None of them can stand Hoskins, especially Delta. Part of this could be due to Owen's obvious dislike of the man himself, but considering Hoskins' blatant disregard of their autonomy and well-being, it's likely that the sisters just plain despise him for his past and present behavior towards them.
* FluffyTheTerrible: Blue? Charlie? Such cute names... for creatures that can tear anybody in half.
* {{Foil}}: To both the ''Indominus rex'' and the original raptors. While the former dinosaurs are AxCrazy psychopaths who kill for sport and have no social skills, Blue and her sisters are [[SiblingTeam well socialized]], [[UndyingLoyalty incredibly loyal]], and don't appear to relish killing [[NonMaliciousMonster any more than would be expected]] of their particular species. They were also raised by Owen, who is caring and completely devoted to their well-being, while the ''Indominus'' and Jurassic Park raptors were raised in complete isolation and [[AbusiveParents poorly treated]] by their supposed caretakers.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: When introduced, they appear tamed, but Owen's hold on them is tenuous at best. [[spoiler:When the pack confronts the ''I. rex'' for the first time, they decide that she's a better alpha than Owen, making them go on a rampage against the personnel. Finally, when they corner Owen, Claire, and the kids, Owen manages to play on the bond he has formed with them, and the ''Velociraptors'' ultimately fight against the ''Indominus rex''.]]
* HairTriggerTemper: Their Aggression Index is "Very High". Multiple instances show Owen's the only thing they listen to, and without his input they will attack people at once.
* HasTwoMommies: The only person other than Owen (who is their Alpha) they are comfortable with is Barry, in a way, making him their second dad.
* {{Imprinting}}: Presumably the reason they trust Owen. He's the only person they won't attack or kill, and they even [[HeelFaceTurn turn against]] the ''I. rex'' to protect him.
* ItCanThink: Owen makes it abundantly clear that the sisters are hyper-intelligent and will find ways to manipulate a situation to their own advantage. They work incredibly well as a SiblingTeam, follow numerous commands when prompted, coordinate surprise attacks on their enemies, and appear to understand that Owen is a devoted caretaker and alpha who won't hurt them. All the while, Hoskins continues to believe that they're little more than dumb animals who can be trained by anyone, even though Owen is clearly the ''only'' person they give two craps about.
* RaptorAttack: [[TropeCodifier Accept no substitutes.]]
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler: After Owen manages to reestablish his bond with the raptors, Echo and Delta die while fighting ''Indominus rex'' and not much earlier, Charlie dies due to her hesitance to attack Owen.]]
* ReformedButNotTamed: Owen makes it clear that despite success in training them, they're still hostile, aggressive, and liable to turn on their handlers. This is shown early in the film, when Owen is able to distract them from attacking Leon, but they try circling around him and as soon as he turns his back to run for the gate they try to eat him. [[spoiler:Sure enough, this is exactly what happens, due to the ''I. rex'' being part-raptor, but Owen is able to bring the raptors back on to his side eventually]].
* SiblingTeam: It's noted in the earlier films that ''Velociraptors'' are pack animals, so Owen raises the four sisters together and trains them to healthily function as an effective and loyal pack. This is in stark contrast to the ''I. rex'', who was raised in complete isolation and ate her own sibling.
* SignatureRoar: Just like their earlier counterparts, the raptors still have their signature vocalizations of high-pitched shrieks and barking caws. And since they're far more expressive in this film, certain sounds can even be used to gauge the sisters' emotions, such as their extremely loud shrieks around Hoskins' team, Blue's and Charlie's quiet chitters to Owen when they [[spoiler: acknowledge him as their alpha, and the infuriated barks of Blue during her BigDamnHeroes charge against the ''I. rex''.]]
* SixthRanger: In the expanded material, there was a fifth member of the pack: [[https://jurassicpark.fandom.com/wiki/Subject_V-2 Subject V-2]], who was created from ''Park'''s original raptor genetic material while the other four were made with a new mix of genes. Physically and mentally she was basically a reincarnation of The Big One and was so vicious and unpredictable that she was euthanized.
* StockDinosaurs: ''Velociraptor'' became stock almost entirely because of the ''Franchise/JurassicPark'' franchise.
* ThemeNaming: The raptors have military-esque names (which makes sense considering Owen's military background), though "Blue" is the OddNameOut.
* UndyingLoyalty: Despite the ''I. rex'' standing right behind them, all it takes is some close contact with Owen for Delta, Echo, and Blue to [[spoiler:turn against the ''Indominus'' and fight to the death to protect him.]] Charlie also hesitates and appears to reconsider their [[spoiler: betrayal as soon as she sees Owen in the firefight. It gets her killed.]]

!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/JurassicWorld'' | ''Film/JurassicWorldFallenKingdom'' | ''WesternAnimation/JurassicWorldCampCretaceous''

The oldest of Owen's raptors and the pack beta. She is blue-grey in color and has a distinctive blue stripe running down her sides.

* AdvertisedExtra: Blue features in a lot of promotional material for ''Camp Cretaceous'' but she only appears in one significant scene in Season 1 with a cameo in the last episode, and two very brief appearances in Season 2. Season 3 gives her a more important role, though again its only for a couple of episodes.
* AllAnimalsAreDomesticated:
** Played with, particularly in ''Fallen Kingdom''. Blue is a ''trained'' animal that is still extremely dangerous, requiring caution when Owen interacts with her. However, she also demonstrates [[spoiler: the traits theorized to be vital to early [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestication_of_animals domestication]] of a species. Unlike the other Raptors, Blue demonstrated the ability to empathize with Owen and expressed curiosity towards humans as opposed to fear/hostility. As such, Wu believes she is necessary to begin teaching and breeding these characteristics into future animals]].
** In ''Camp Cretaceous'', she does attack the kids, but only after they had trespassed on her nest, and unlike pretty much every other predator on the island, Blue does not hunt the kids in any way, only chase them off, showing that at the very least Blue does not consider humans to be food.
** In general, Blue seems to show a lot of restraint for a member of her species, with her being able to recognize those who are threats to her and those who aren't. She recognizes Barry's voice when he shouts at her and stops attacking in ''Jurassic World'' and doesn't attack Zia and Franklin after recognizing them as the people who saved her and released her from her cell in ''Fallen Kingdom.'' And in ''Camp Cretaceous'', she hesitates from attacking the kids once they saved her from the ''Compsognathus'' pack and later assists them in [[spoiler:fighting the ''Scorpios rexes'' once Darius proves to her that he and his friends aren't a threat. Even after the battle where the kids are distracted and have their backs turned, Blue chose not to attack them and runs off into the jungle instead.]]
* AndroclesLion: After she becomes trapped underneath an overturned ACU truck, Darius, Yaz, and Kenji save her by driving off an encroaching pack of ''Compsagnathus'' that would have devoured her alive, and then lifted the truck just enough that she could crawl out. [[spoiler: She later returns the favor by attacking and distracting both of the ''Scorpios rexes'' when one of them corners the kids in the old Visitor Center, giving the campers ample time to knock the scaffolding down and causing the roof to collapse, killing both ''Scorpios'' in the process, and just managing to escape with the campers.]]
* AntiHero: Well, she ''is'' a ''Velociraptor''. However, unlike the psychotic ones from the first film, Blue's loyalty to Owen ultimately results in her and her sisters going up against the [[spoiler: ''I. rex'']] in what can only be considered a suicide charge. Blue easily could have sided with the much larger and deadlier alpha, but instead chose to fight for and protect her ParentalSubstitute and therefore, the rest of the island. [[spoiler: In ''Fallen Kingdom'', she's an unambiguous hero, generally only showing aggression towards active threats and at no point attempting to harm any of the main cast.]]
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Blue earned her position as beta by being the toughest and smartest of her sisters. When Echo challenged her for the title, Blue defeated the younger raptor in a physical fight and left a jagged scar across her snout.
* BackToBackBadasses: [[spoiler: With Rexy.]]
* BigDamnHeroes: Blue, when [[spoiler:Rexy nearly has her neck snapped by the ''I. rex'']].
** In ''Fallen Kingdom'', Blue [[spoiler: saves Zia and Franklin from Wu's bodyguards and protects Owen and Maisie when they are cornered by the ''Indoraptor''.]]
** She saves the campers from the ''[[spoiler: Scorpios rex]]'' in Season 3 of ''Camp Cretaceous''.
* BlueIsHeroic: Zig-zagged. Blue has a ''blue'' color scheme, but isn't exactly heroic. However, that's because of her and her sisters' natural predatory instincts, not out of pure evilness. [[spoiler:Blue and her sisters turn on the humans, but don't try to hurt Owen. And when confronted with the ''I. rex'', she and her sisters fight it off to protect Owen. Played pretty straight in ''Fallen Kingdom'', if only to contrast the [[DarkIsEvil dark-colored]] and very [[TheSociopath obviously]] villainous ''Indoraptor''.]]
* ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler: Blue at the end, sent off with little more than a nod from Owen.]]
* CombatAndSupport: In her team-up [[spoiler: with Rexy to bring down ''I. rex'', Blue acts as the Support by distracting ''I. rex'', allowing Rexy to avoid its attacks and land good hits on it.]]
* DavidVersusGoliath: She fought the larger ''I. rex'' and ''Indoraptor'' and [[spoiler:''two Scorpios rexes'']] and [[spoiler:survives all three battles]]. While she couldn't do much against the former other than distracting it, she is capable of overpowering the latter two.
* {{Determinator}}: You may be able to knock Blue down but if you're threatening her sisters or Owen, she will come back every time.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: When the ''I. rex'' directs her to attack Owen and the other humans, she turns and roars back at it in defiance. This gets her propelled into a wall in response, but at least we know whose [[UndyingLoyalty side]] she's on.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: She not only fights the ''Indoraptor'', which is 2-3 times her size, dino-a-dino, but she somehow manages to [[spoiler: send it flying through a window. Not much later, she delivers the final blow that sends the ''Indoraptor'' plunging to its [[DisneyVillainDeath death]].]]
* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:When she turns on the ''I. rex'', the monstrosity responds by clawing her and sending her flying into a concrete pillar. As she slumps to the floor, she isn't moving, leading a lot of audience to think she'd been killed. This is not the case, thankfully.]]
* EnemyMine: Blue teams up with [[spoiler: Rexy]] to stop the ''I. rex.''
* HollywoodHealing: In ''Fallen Kingdom'', Blue is shot and the wound is severe enough to almost cause her death by exsanguination. One blood transfusion and a few hours later and she is in perfect shape to [[spoiler: jump at mercenaries armed with stun prods, ''outrun an explosion'', fight a super hybrid evenly ''and'' throw said genetic abomination out of a window.]]
* LoyalAnimalCompanion: [[spoiler: Bar her lunging at him when he stops her and her sisters from attacking Leon and her little wobble with the ''Indominus'', Blue is very loyal to Owen. As a hatchling, she showed degrees of empathy beyond the rest of the Raptor Squad and as an adult she's more than willing to hurl herself face first into danger for him. Wu suggests that this was an unexpected result of her particular genetic make up and not something he can easily replicate. This explains Wu's desire to have her captured and act as a surrogate mother to the next phase of ''Indoraptor'' development whilst using her DNA to develop more amenable traits in the hybrids]].
* TheLeader: Her position as pack beta designates her as this whenever Owen isn't around. Blue fits all four flavors of the trope, being headstrong, level-headed, charismatic, and quite the mastermind.
* LastOfHerKind: By the time of ''Fallen Kingdom'', Blue is apparently the last living ''Velociraptor''.
* MadeOfIron: Knocking Blue down isn't too difficult. Getting her to stay down is the problem. In the span of an hour, Blue nearly gets run over by an SUV, violently thrown into a concrete wall, and then again into several storefronts during [[spoiler: the final showdown between the ''I. rex'' and Rexy. This does not stop her from charging right back into the fray and clawing at the ''I. rex's'' eyes, though. During her fight with the ''Indoraptor'', she is clawed, bitten, and repeatedly flung across Maisie's room by an animal three times her size. She not only comes back for more, she manages to throw it out a window!]]
* MeaningfulName: She has blue pattern on her skin, appropriately.
* OddNameOut: She's the only one not to be named from the NATO phonetic alphabet (her sisters are Charlie, Delta, and Echo). Instead she's named for the blue stripe down her body, but it still fits with the AlphabeticalThemeNaming. [[spoiler: ''Fallen Kingdom'' hints that this might be due to Owen forming a closer bond with her as a chick than the others]].
* PintsizedPowerhouse: Only in comparison to other dinosaurs, though. She is dwarfed by both Rexy and the ''Indominus'', yet plays a vital role assisting the former against the hybrid during the climax. Then, in the sequel, it turns out she has managed to survive in Isla Nublar for years despite losing her pack, and later on [[spoiler: goes toe to toe against a dinosaur twice her size and sends it out of a window!]]
* RevengeBeforeReason: Just like The Big One, Blue becomes enraged when [[spoiler: her pack members are harmed or killed.]] Whereas any thing with common sense, be it animal or human, would flee in terror from the ''I. rex'', [[spoiler: Blue instead charges straight at her.]] Unlike The Big One, this pays off pretty well for her.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: As a baby, Blue chirping and nuzzling Owen's hand while purring is adorable.
* SavedByCanon: In ''WesternAnimation/JurassicWorldCampCretaceous'', [[spoiler:Mitchell aims at Blue intending to kill her while she's drinking water, though considering she's alive and well by the time ''Film/JurassicWorldFallenKingdom'' takes place she survives thanks to Darius distracting Mitchell.]] Again in Season 3, where it's obvious that she's going to survive being trapped underneath an ACU truck and being chomped by a pack of ''Compsagnathus'' (though it takes the kids helping her out for it to happen) [[spoiler:and again when she fights with both ''Scorpios rexes'' in the old Visitor Center.]]
* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler:Of the Raptor Pack. Charlie dies to a security member and Delta and Echo are killed by the ''I. rex''.]]
* UsedToBeASweetKid: [[spoiler: Baby Blue was friendly, empathetic, and curious. As an adult, she's not only the largest but the most aggressive of the raptor squad, although still well socialized and responsive to Owen as well as very loyal to those who earn her trust]].

[[caption-width-right:338:''"Delta! I see you. Back up!"'']]

One of the middle raptors in Owen's pack. She is solid green in color and has small patches of blue around her eyes.
----
* AnimalNemesis: To Hoskins. He seems to have no clue how much Delta hates him and continually antagonizes her throughout the film.
* BackToBackBadasses: With Echo and Owen, who she fights alongside with in their battle against [[spoiler: the ''Indominus''.]]
* TheBrute: Delta is arguably the most "traditionally" ''Velociraptor''-like of the pack, being especially snarling around Hoskins and actually attacking her "father" when still quite young.
* EnfantTerrible: When Delta was a baby, she would respond to Owen's CrocodileTears by immediately attacking him. This in contrast with Blue, who attempted to comfort her adoptive father.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: When Owen and Hoskins are talking on the catwalks, Delta can be seen watching them with a disturbing level of attention from inside the enclosure. No one seems to notice her over-eager behavior, or they just don't care because of their mutual dislike for Hoskins. Either way, it's an early moment of {{Foreshadowing}} that also showcases Delta's hatred of her [[TheRival alpha's rival]].
* TheLancer: Maybe. She's the assumed second-in-command to Blue going off age and that Blue seems to interact with her most.
* ItsPersonal: Delta ''really'' has it in for Hoskins. She violently rattles her cage and snarls whenever he's nearby and then personally tracks down and [[spoiler:slaughters him in the Creation Lab]]. It makes one wonder if they had other unpleasant encounters in the past.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: After [[spoiler: Hoskins]] is revealed to have been behind the entire conflict and spent the entire film treating the raptors like expendable tools, Delta disemboweling him doesn't cost her or them much sympathy.
* KidsAreCruel: [[spoiler: In comparison to Blue at least. Where as her sister reacted to signs of weakness in Owen by making comforting gestures, Delta took it as an opportunity and attacked.]]
* KillItWithFire: [[spoiler:Delta gets flung into a gas grill by ''I. rex'' and is roasted alive.]]
* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:Delta is killed fighting the ''I. rex''. She has the misfortune of being thrown through a window and onto a gas grill, which combusts around her]].

One of the middle raptors in Owen's pack. She is sandy-yellow in color and has a jagged scar across her snout.

* BackToBackBadasses: [[spoiler: Delta and Echo fight the ''Indominus'' alongside Owen for a brief while before they're killed.]]
* InSeriesNickname: Due to Echo's permanent sneer from the scar on her snout, some of the handlers have nicknamed her "Elvis".
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:Echo dies fighting the ''I. rex'' alongside Delta, getting caught in its monstrous jaws.]]
* TheRival: She was this to Blue when they were younger and jostling for control of the beta position. It appears to have simmered down as they've aged and established a healthy, functional pack.
* ScarsAreForever: In her juvenile years, Echo fought with Blue for control of the pack and now has a prominent scar along her muzzle to show for it.

The youngest of Owen's raptors. She is dark green in color and has dark brown stripes running down her whole body.

* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Charlie is constantly whacking her sisters with her tail.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Her quirks (and Owen's first words to her) can downplay the fact that she's still a ''very'' deadly ''Velociraptor''.
* BigSisterWorship: The LEGO game reveals that Charlie, the youngest of the pack, will often follow whatever Blue does because she admires her eldest sister. Charlie even apparently offers up some of her meals to feed Blue. Awww.
* HeelFaceDoorslam: [[spoiler: Just when she looks like she's rejoining Owen, she gets blown up by a rocket launcher.]]
* LudicrousGibs: [[spoiler:Charlie has the misfortune of being '''blown''' up after seeing Owen and recognizing him. Poor girl doesn't even have a chance to get away from the rocket launcher that's directed at her.]]
* QuizzicalTilt: Upon seeing Owen after [[spoiler:the raptor pack pulls a FaceHeelTurn and she hesitates to attack him. Then she gets blown up.]]
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:Charlie encounters Owen during the slaughter of the [=InGen=] mercenaries and hesitates to attack him. Unfortunately, her hesitation allows someone off-screen to target her with a rocket and kill her]].
* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:Charlie is blown up by an [=InGen=] security member's rocket attack.]]
* TrailersAlwaysLie: There's some promotional material showing Charlie having avian eyes with rounded pupils, much like the raptors from ''Film/JurassicParkIII''. In the actual film, however, she has the conventional slit pupils.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/8idkyx0.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"It's killing for sport."'']]
->'''Aggression Index:''' Very High
->'''Park Attraction:''' Coming Soon

->'''Owen Grady:''' ''"You made a [[FrankensteinsMonster genetic hybrid]], [[GoMadFromTheIsolation raised it in captivity]]. She is seeing all of this for the first time. She does not even know what she is. [[AxCrazy She will kill everything that moves.]]"''
->'''Simon Masrani:''' ''"[[ItCanThink Do you think the animal is contemplating its own existence?]]"''
->'''Owen Grady:''' ''"She is learning where she fits in the food chain … and I'm not sure you want her to figure that out."''

The hybrid dinosaur that was created to be the new mascot of the park. [[GoneHorriblyWrong Naturally]], everything that could go wrong does go wrong and she becomes the main antagonist that terrorizes the park.

* AbsurdlySharpClaws: She has a set of massive ''Therizinosaurus''-derived claws on her hands that can gouge cement and pierce bullet-proof glass.
* AxCrazy: All other dinosaurs kill for food and self-defense, this one is a depraved {{Sadist}} that kills ForTheEvulz.
* BigBadEnsemble:
** Acts as the main dinosaur antagonist in ''World''. What sets her apart from the previous dinosaur villains is a mix of her intelligence and depravity; not only does she kill for pleasure and sport, but she's smart enough to ''cause the breakdown of Jurassic World''.
** Forms this with Toro the ''Carnotaurus'' in the first season of ''[[WesternAnimation/JurassicWorldCampCretaceous Camp Cretaceous]]''; she directly threatens the main group of kids several times in the early stages of its rampage, but disappears after becoming occupied with the events of the film, after which Toro takes over as the main threat.
* BrokenAce: One of the greatest and most fearsome predators in Jurassic World… and also an unstable sociopath.
* CainAndAbel: She had a sibling, whom she killed and ate.
* ChameleonCamouflage: Her cuttlefish DNA grants her this ability, similar to the ''Carnotaurus'' in the novels, which she also has a bit of DNA from. However, she does not use this ability very much and due to her neglectful upbringing, [[AchievementsInIgnorance may not know she has it or that she's using it.]]
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: She's the first dinosaur bred specifically for increased aggression, both for increased thrill factor and, more surreptitiously, as a prototype bioweapon. Plus she's raised in complete isolation with no positive associations other than the crate that brings her food. Naturally, when she finally breaks out, she attacks just about everything in sight. Also, she's actively the main cause and central focus of the film's major crisis, whereas previous dinosaur main antagonists like the original raptors, the ''T. rexes'', and the ''Spinosaurus'' were simply the most dangerous hazard that happened to be present during a crisis.
* CreateYourOwnVillain: About as literal an example as you could find. The scientists at Jurassic World created her, and the frankly appalling conditions she was in certainly shaped her into the monster she is. Granted, a genetically engineered dinosaur is a bad idea right of the gate, but intentionally ''designing'' her to be aggressive, smart, and scary, and making her completely isolated from other living things? If they had gone for a nice herbivore, or even found a way for her to be able to be around other dinosaurs or a trainer, she probably wouldn't have been ''as'' bad.
* DarkActionGirl: She is a fierce and cruel dinosaur, and was bred to be female like most of the other animals in the park.
%%* DeconstructiveParody: Serves as one for the Spinosaurus hybrid from [[Film/JurassicParkIII previous film]]. Her intense fight against Rexy and Blue shows just what would happen to the ''Spinosaurus'' if it was a real-life scenario. [[spoiler: Interestingly, ''I. rex's'' far more realistic injuries and difficulties makes her more powerful than the ''Spinosaurus''. ''Not the other way around''.]]
* DinosaursAreDragons: She certainly looks dragon-like, although Colin Trevorrow stated they were trying to ''not'' make her look like a dragon, something that was very difficult. This may have been invoked for [[RuleOfCool obvious reasons]].
* DiscOneFinalBoss: For ''WesternAnimation/JurassicWorldCampCretaceous''. She seems to be the BigBad of Season 1, but she gets tangled up in the events of ''Jurassic World'', leaving Toro to be the season's BigBad. By the time of Season 2, [[spoiler:she's already dead, with Brooklynn and Darius seeing her corpse (although it never being shown on-screen)]].
* TheDreaded: She was specifically created to be this to boost ticket sales for Jurassic World. It worked. ''Way'' too well. To the point that even the ''other animals in the Park'' are terrified of her. She manages to scare the highly territorial ''Pteranodons'' out of the Aviary and invokes an "OhCrap" face in an ''Ankylosaurus''.
* EnfantTerrible: The film opens with her and her sibling hatching. Sometime after that, she ate her sister.
* EvilIsBigger: In a spectacularly dubious piece of InventionalWisdom, she was actually built to invoke this, as the largest and most knowingly malicious theropod in history.
* FeatheredFiend: If we're to assume that the quills on her head and arms are meant to be feathers. [[spoiler:It may come from the fact that she's part raptor]].
* ForTheEvulz: The ''I. rex'' kills simply for sport [[note]]though, in the control room, Owen ''does'' state to Masrani that the ''I. rex'' is figuring out her place in the food chain, so there could be an additional/alternate reason for her wreaking havoc[[/note]].
* FrankensteinsMonster: The dinosaur equivalent.
* FreudianExcuse: It's repeatedly mentioned that the various circumstances since her creation (confinement in a much too small paddock, no one to imprint to upon birth, lack of interaction with anything but the crane that brings her food) have led her into becoming an unstable, ultra-violent sociopath.
* GeniusBruiser: She's big, and she's ''smart.''
* GiantEqualsInvincible: An absolute juggernaut that is completely unaffected by machine-gun fire, rockets, rifle bullets, tranqs, and shotguns throughout the movie. Even multiple fights with other huge dinosaurs and getting rebar speared into her barely even slow her down, so it would be fitting that [[spoiler: she would ultimately be taken down by the one predator on the island [[AlwaysABiggerFish bigger than her]]]].
* GoMadFromTheIsolation:
** Her lonely upbringing likely contributed to her psychosis. [[spoiler: She is shown to be capable of communication with the ''Velociraptors'', implying that she perhaps ''needed'' to communicate, but as Owen notes, the only positive relationship she has at all is with the crane that delivers her food.]]
** This is also a bit of a MythologyGag toward ''Literature/{{The Lost World|1995}}'' book: the raptors on Isla Sorna grew up without any parental figures to raise and teach them properly and thus turned into vicious, feral predators that attack their own kin and murder for sport. They thus act exactly like ''I. rex'' does.
* GoneHorriblyRight: Claire and Dr. Wu wanted a dinosaur that was bigger, badder, and more intelligent than the ''T. rex'' or the raptors. Well, they got her… [[spoiler:Hoskins wanted a deadly LivingWeapon. He got that, too…]]
* HairTriggerTemper: Her Aggression Index is "Very High."
* HorrifyingTheHorror: Even the highly aggressive ''Pteranodons'' are scared of her.
* ImmuneToBullets: During her attack against the [=ACU=] team, one trooper shoots her multiple times with a shotgun to no effect. Later, during the nighttime ambush, she takes several full mags of combined assault rifle fire and seems completely unphased (in fact the sparks flying off her and lack of blood seem to suggest the bullets are at least partially deflecting off her osteoderms). It takes Owen's big game brush rifle to visibly punch holes in her, and she doesn't seem hindered in any way by the shots.
* InnateNightVision: Has infrared vision, courtesy of snake genes in her genome. Coupled with her camouflage and ability to change her body temperature, this means she is completely undetectable to humans in environments like the Jurassic World jungle, yet she can easily track her prey.
* ItCanThink:
** The most dangerous feature of the ''I. rex'' isn't any of her mix and match body parts, but that they intentionally made her hyper-intelligent, even more than the raptors are naturally. The raptors have problem-solving intelligence -- the ''I. rex'' seems to be outright capable of deductive reasoning, observing that 1) the humans inserted something under her flesh (an RFID chip), 2) the humans seem to be able to track her even when they can't see her, and therefore ''rationally concluding'' that 3) the thing they inserted must be how they're tracking her, so she claws out the chip.
** She ''orchestrates'' her own escape; using ''decoy'' tactics and the understanding that monitoring devices in her enclosure can be fooled by shifting her thermal profile.
*** Her problem-solving ability is no slouch, either -- when dealing with an ''Ankylosaurus'', she first attempts to bite it in half and she widens her jaw around it, which fails, but she immediately flips it over once she realizes it has a soft underside after getting some purchase with her claws.
* JustDesserts: [[spoiler:The mosasaur drags her to a watery grave in the film's climax.]]
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:Seeks to be the strongest predator on the island, only for an even ''stronger'' predator to drag her, thrashing and wailing, to her end]].
* KnightOfCerebus:
** In comparison to previous dinosaur antagonists, this one is the most threatening, homicidal, intelligent, depraved, and frightening. [[spoiler:She also manages to kill the Hammond {{expy}} Simon Masrani, who only wants to delight the visitors, much like Hammond, and dies trying to stop this dino from going on a rampage, which shows how much a dangerous threat she is: not even the park owner can stop her.]]
** In ''Camp Cretaceous'', her appearance marks the point where the show transitions from a "kids at camp" story to a lost-on-the-island survival thriller, and is the only dinosaur that kills any humans onscreen during the first season (including one [[EstablishingCharacterMoment just seconds after she enters the story]]).
* LargeAndInCharge: She effectively becomes this when she [[spoiler:communicates with and takes over the ''Velociraptor'' pack]].
* LeanAndMean: She's huge but lanky, with long limbs (by theropod standards) and a curiously sunken, skeletal face.
* {{Leitmotif}}: The ''Indominus'' is the first dinosaur in the franchise to have a theme only for her, a series of foreboding notes. It gets a notable reprise in ''Fallen Kingdom'' when the sub finds her skeleton at the bottom of the ''Mosasaurus'' lagoon.
* LightningBruiser: She is the largest theropod dinosaur, but it does nothing to hinder her speed.
* LightIsNotGood: Her natural color is white when not activating her camouflage.
* LivingWeapon: [[spoiler:Hoskins had her made to be this and then fight the raptors to give him a good opportunity to sell one of the two for military use.]]
* {{Mascot}}: This creature was made for the express purpose of usurping this role from ''Tyrannosaurus'' to stave off waning public interest in the park. On a meta level, the ''I. rex's'' physical profile and almost skeletal, ghastly appearance is almost a one-to-one for the famed ''T. rex'' skeleton in the series' logo.
* MadeOfIron: She shrugs off tranq darts, nets, cattle prods, and automatic weapons-fire like they're nothing. She charges and kills an ACU guard emptying a combat shotgun into her without even breaking her stride. Shooting her just makes her angrier. Only ANTI-TANK weapons can even ''stun'' her: minigun bullets force her to retreat into an enclosure, and a ''rocket launcher'' only succeeds in knocking her down and frightening her off. She even takes a direct hit to the face from an ''Ankylosaurus'' tail (hypothesized by paleontologists to be capable of breaking a ''T. rex'''s leg) without any noticeable damage. [[spoiler: It takes the combined might of the ''T. rex'', the last ''Velociraptor'' Blue, and the ''Mosasaurus'' to finally bring her down.]]
* MeaningfulName: "Indominus" means "fierce" or "untamable". The former because she was designed to be the ultimate dinosaur, the latter because she can't be controlled.
* MightyRoar: [[http://www.jurassicworld.com/dinosaurs/indominus-rex/ Her official page states]] that the ''I. rex'' has a roar of 140 to 160 decibels.
* MixAndMatchCritters: She has attributes and abilities from nearly every creature in her genetic composition. The "base genetic template" was a ''T. rex'', but then they tweaked and spliced in elements from many different species:
** The ''T. rex'' template provides her overall body plan and an extremely strong bite force, although her own overall skull shape isn't quite as robust as a ''Tyrannosaurus''[='s=].
** Horns across her head and body are from ''Carnotaurus'', ''Majungasaurus'', ''Rugops'', and ''Giganotosaurus'' DNA. This gives her an almost demonic appearance and a very tough hide, ignoring wounds from other dinosaurs and ''shrugging off'' multiple shotgun blasts. This theropod blend also gives her a set of teeth that regrow quickly.
** Camouflage from cuttlefish DNA -- the DNA was intended to speed up growth, meaning she's also much larger than a ''T. rex'' would be at her age. Her standard color is albino-white, but when in the forest it can shift to a very convincing brown-spackled-with-green pattern.
** Wide-opening jaws, swallowing ability, and infrared vision are apparently from snake DNA.
** Huge, somewhat conical teeth from ''Deinosuchus''.
** The ability to shift her body temperature, from tropical frog DNA. This was meant to allow her to survive without a hitch in Isla Nubla's tropical climate, but it resulted in ''Indominus'' having the ability to hide from infrared sensors. The end result is that in a dark forest at night, you can't see the ''I. rex'' due to its camouflage and your heat sensors are useless -- but she ''can'' see you with her own heat vision.
** Long clawed arms, quills, and a slimmer head profile from ''Velociraptor'' DNA. Also a source of her heightened intelligence over a ''T. rex''. [[spoiler:Being part-raptor means the raptor pack pauses instead of immediately attacking her, starts communicating with her (giving friendly raptor-like chirps), and accepts the huge ''I. rex'' as their new Alpha.]]
** The main source of her large arms with huge claws is actually stated to be ''[[http://www.wired.com/2015/06/jack-horner-making-indominus-rex/ Therizinosaurus]]''.
** Opposable thumbs from an unknown source.
* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: The ''I. rex'' has lots and lots of sharp, irregular teeth, similar to the trio of ''Vastatosaurus rex'' from ''Film/KingKong2005''. Just take a [[https://pm1.narvii.com/6501/baa4bf378f15fedabc885402fc8dfcd00799a39f_hq.jpg look at this]].
* NoSell: Minigun rounds? No big deal. An Ankylosaurus' tail club? 'Tis but a scratch! ''Velociraptor'' attacks? Like the bite of a flea! The ''Indominus'' only really has a hard time when she comes face-to-face with the veteran ''Tyrannosaurus'', Roberta/Rexy.
* NonMaliciousMonster: One of the only dinosaurs (along with her successor, the ''Indoraptor'') in which this is deliberately averted. It's made explicitly clear she doesn't kill for food or some other natural reason, only for [[ForTheEvulz the enjoyment of it]] [[note]]However, given how she was raised in isolation for most of her life, there's a possibility she's merely trying to discern where she 'fits' on Isla Nublar[[/note]] and being created to be hyper aggressive.
* OhCrap: She tends to inspire this reaction from anyone who crosses her path, but she herself gets one [[spoiler:when the ''Mosasaurus'' is about to drag her into the lagoon; she gets a look of utter ''terror'' on her face]].
* PlotTailoredToTheParty:
** Almost the entire movie consists of various attempts to neutralize her, and being countered by a revealed ability perfect for the situation. [[spoiler:Justified as she was intentionally given a high intellect and several camouflage abilities as part of Hoskins' and Wu's scheme to create the perfect living weapon.]]
** Season 1 of ''Camp Cretaceous'' is structured around the timeline of the ''Indominus'''s rampage in the film, with the creature appearing or disappearing from the show depending on whether the film accounts for her whereabouts at any given point (with the only overlap between the two being the film's aviary scene, which the campers witness from a different angle).
* PrehistoricMonster: A genetically-engineered hybrid dinosaur made from various DNA of prehistoric and modern-day animals, deliberately designed to be bigger and meaner than ''T. rex'' with exaggerated predatory features, and spent most of its life in an isolated, small enclosure. The result? A vicious, unstoppable monster bent on slaughtering the entire population of dinosaurs and humans on the island for sport.
* PsychoPrototype: [[spoiler:It turns out Hoskins knew perfectly well what he was doing when he ordered that the ''I. rex'' be made an aggressive predator with high intelligence (apart from the sheer hubris of believing he could control her); he wanted to sell her genetic template as a terror weapon, or possibly the ''Velociraptors'' if ''they'' brought her down.]]
* RapidAging: Dr. Wu's stated reason for giving her cuttlefish DNA.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: She has red irises.
* RuleOfCool: Deconstructed. She was designed to be the biggest, baddest, coolest dinosaur of all time. This led to her becoming a violent, uncontrollable, sadistic monster.
* {{Sadist}}: She doesn't strictly ''kill'' for pleasure, she ''hunts'' for it. [[spoiler: This is most chillingly brought to light upon discovering she left one of her suffering victims ''still alive'' to expire in an excruciating slowness.]]
* SeldomSeenSpecies: Downplayed, among her genetic makeup are several of these; ''Therizinosaurus'', ''Majungasaurus'', ''Rugops'', and cuttlefish are not animals you typically see in the media. However, none of these dinosaurs are ever mentioned in the movie, [[AllThereInTheManual only on the website]].
* SheIsTheKing: ''Indominus rex'' translates to "Untamable King" or "Unbeatable King", but this "king" is female.
* SkullForAHead: Given her skin is [[spoiler:typically]] white and her skull has recesses in the exact locations that the cavities on a ''Tyrannosaurus'' skull are located, it gives this impression.
* SlasherSmile: There are several instances where the ''I. rex'' seems to be sadistically smiling at all of the death and chaos she's caused on the island, mainly because she has no lips and so her teeth are constantly exposed.
* SpikesOfVillainy: Her neck and back are armored by pointy osteoderms inherited from her abelisaur genetic contributors -- namely ''Carnotaurus'', ''Majungasaurus'', and ''Rugops'' -- that emphasize her menacing appearance and nature.
* StealthyCephalopod: The ''Indominus rex'' is able to camouflage itself against the jungle backdrop, with Dr. Wu later saying that this is a direct result of the cuttlefish DNA used to create it.
* StealthyColossus: Thanks to her ability to camouflage herself and hide her heat signature, when she doesn't want to be found she is virtually undetectable.
* SuperIntelligence: Her intelligence isn't even human-like, it's above-average human intelligence. Not only it can figure it is being tracked by [=RFID=] despite knowing nothing about the technology or the human's tracking ability, but it can set a trap with it, seemingly figures out how ''Pteranodons'' will react to their aviary being broken into and communicate with another species because it shares a part of her DNA.
* SuperToughness: She is extremely durable. Getting hit in the '''head''' by an ''Ankylosaurus'' just annoys her, rather than breaking her skull. [[spoiler:In the fight with Rexy, she survives getting bitten on the neck and keeps fighting. Nothing short of getting dragged into the water by the one predator bigger than she is stops her.]]
* SuperPrototype: The ''Indominus'' is the first fully developed true dinosaurian hybrid and is far stronger than her successor the ''Indoraptor'', being largely unharmed by even heavy ordanance and capable of overpowering Rexy, whereas the ''Indoraptor'' was hurled out of a window by Blue.
* TragicMonster: [[spoiler: Given that she was deliberately engineered to be as aggressive and vicious as possible, and raised in total isolation. Owen theorizes that her actions are driven by the fact that she has no idea how to interact with her environment; therefore, she sees any living creature as a threat.]]
* TRexpy: One of the creatures making up her genetic material is ''Tyrannosaurus rex'', which shows in her physical appearance. She's a gigantic predator, even larger than ''T. rex'', with a similar bulky build and large head. However, her arms are much longer than ''T. rex'''s, she's able to grasp with them, and her body is covered in SpikesOfVillainy. Additionally, she has odd features like extendable jaws similar to a snake, and camouflage abilities similar to a cuttlefish.
* TropeCoTropeOfTheWeek: Claire gets investors to back the ''I. rex'' reveal, leading to "Verizon Wireless Presents the ''Indominus rex''". Lowery is not amused.
* UnskilledButStrong: An engineered apex predator who has brawn and brain, but little in the way of experience. Played straight with the encounter with the ''T. rex.'' While the ''I. rex'' is tough and formidable, the ''T. rex'' is plainly battle-scarred and has fighting experience. The encounter with the ''T. rex'' is the first time the ''I. rex'' has encountered an opponent who isn't afraid, knows how to fight ''and fights back,'' and is approximately the same size as she is. The ''T. rex'' also has the advantage of not going up against the ''I. rex'' alone.
* VillainousBreakdown: When the raptors return to Owen's side, ''Indominus'' reacts quite violently. It only gets worse as she fights them while being shot at by Owen, [[spoiler: faces off against Rexy, and is distracted and attacked by Blue]]. That last one causes ''Indominus'' to give a body-shaking bellow of pure rage and madness just before [[spoiler: she gets manhandled, or rather, dino-handled, by Rexy and Blue and then dragged underwater by ''Mosasaurus'']].
* VillainousLegacy: Her [[LateArrivalSpoiler death at the jaws of the ''Mosasaurus'']] is confirmed in ''Film/JurassicWorldFallenKingdom'', where her skeleton is discovered at the bottom of the ''Mosasaurus'' enclosure by a submersible. The bioweapon program that created her, however, deemed her enough of a success to move on to the next stage: the ''Indoraptor''.
* VolumetricMouth: Played for horror. She can open her mouth extremely wide, possibly as a result of her snake DNA. [[https://breakinggeek.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/jurassic-world-tv-spot-indominus-rex-huge-jaws.png Check THIS out!]].
* WhatDidYouExpectWhenYouNamedIt: Par for the course -- naming it after a word meaning "untamable" means all attempts at controlling it ''will'' backfire. Owen is close to rolling his eyes when Claire reveals the name.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Being raised in isolation with no other creatures to bond with causes her to see the world outside her paddock as one big hunting ground. [[spoiler:The exceptions are the raptors and ultimately, even they aren't safe from her wrath.]]

A sea lizard (a true lizard since she's related to Komodo dragons, but she's '''not''' a dinosaur) in the lagoon that eats sharks. Officially '''''the''''' bigger fish to ''everything'' on the island.[[note]]She's ''also'' '''''the''''' bigger fish to ''nearly everything in the world's oceans'' after her escape.[[/note]]

* AccidentalHero: When you get right down to it, [[spoiler:she doesn't know the ''I. rex'' is the villain, she was just hungry after not being fed since lunchtime]].
* AccidentalMurder: "Murder" might be too strong a word (she is an animal without a concept of good or evil, after all) but [[spoiler:her devouring Zara could be seen as this, as she was clearly aiming for the ''Pteranodon'']].
* AllPowerfulBystander: Is the biggest and strongest creature in the park, even more so than the ''Indominus''. However, given her CripplingOverspecialization and NonMaliciousMonster statuses (see below), she mostly just keeps to herself [[spoiler:until the ''Indominus'' eventually gets too close to her lagoon during the FinalBattle]].
* AlwaysABiggerFish: As part of the feeding show: In an aquatic exhibit surrounding a lagoon, a deceased Great White Shark hangs from a revolving rail towards the lagoon. She's an impressive size, which all but extenuates the enormity of the ''Mosasaurus'', whom promptly lunges out of the water and eats the whole shark in two bites (whatever was left fell from the rail into the water). Later becomes this to a ''Pteranodon''. [[spoiler: Then she receives one ''very'' large midnight snack when the ''I. rex'', who is pushed close to the lagoon's edge by Blue and the ''T. rex'' during the climactic battle, comes within munching reach.]]
* AnimalJingoism: Surprise surprise, she likes the taste of pterosaur meat.
* AnimalsNotToScale: Mixed with YourSizeMayVary as the ''Mosasaurus'' seemed to change size from scene to scene.
** Subverted in the first ''Jurassic World''. It was initially feared by viewers that the ''Mosasaurus'' in the film would be oversized based on her appearance in the trailer (estimated, based on the relative size of everything around her, to have been blue whale-sized or even more), but it turns out this was actually due to forced perspective. The ''Mosasaurus''' true size is the more reasonable estimate of sixty feet (only about a foot longer than the estimated length of the real animal).
** Played straight at the beginning of the sequel, where she seems to have ballooned up to around eight times her original size. For reference, a roughly 40 to 60-foot-long helicopter is the same size as her head, meaning her whole body must be ''over 120 to 200 feet long!'' Then she seemingly shrinks to her original size in the end [[note]]This is based on how big the great white she was fed is. It looked like a female, and the average size of a great white female is 15 to 21 feet.[[/note]]
** [[WesternAnimation/JurassicWorldCampCretaceous Camp Cretaceous]], though, shows the scene in a different perspective, with the helicopter appearing to be around Rexy's size and the ''Mosasaurus'' appearing much smaller, so it's possible that forced perspective was at play in the sequel.
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:Lands the finishing blow on the ''Indominus rex'' at the end of the final battle]].
* TheCameo: During the end credits for ''Film/JurassicWorldBattleAtBigRock'', she's seen snatching a breaching great white shark out of the air, presumably off of the coast of South Africa.
* CanonImmigrant: ''Mosasaurus'' has been featured in numerous video games based on the franchise. Though [[VideoGame/JurassicParkTheGame the last time]] Isla Nublar had a mosasaur it was a ''Tylosaurus''.
* ChekhovsGunman: She ends up delivering the fatal blow to [[spoiler:the ''I. rex'']].
* CripplingOverspecialization: She's a powerful creature, the largest carnivore in the park, but she's also confined to her lagoon, [[spoiler:and as far as she can jump out of the water]].
* TheDreaded: It goes with being the apex predator of the ocean.
* DynamicEntry: The only kind of entry she can make.
* HairTriggerTemper: Has a high Aggression Index. Unlike the other animals with such indexes, however, [[InformedAttribute the film does little to demonstrate this]].
* {{Kaiju}}: Had a growth spurt between ''World'' and ''Fallen Kingdom'', placing her squarely in this category.
* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: She even has teeth on her palate!
* NeverSmileAtACrocodile: Although a giant sea lizard, she has crocodile-like jaws and several rows of spines on her back that her real life equivalent [[ArtisticLicensePaleontology probably didn't have]].
* NonMaliciousMonster: She more or less acted the way any large aquatic predator in a tank would if something foreign fell in or was hanging over said tank. Though her aggression is labelled as being "high", she is not considered to be a threat to the tourists. That being said in the sequel she is actively eating surfers instead of hunting ocean animals possibly subverting this.
* RealityIsUnrealistic: Real mosasaurs are believed to probably have had forked tongues (by comparison with its closest living relatives, snakes, monitor lizards, and gila monsters, and examining the structure of the jaws), but here is given a unforked one because, in the words of one of the effects supervisors, it made her "more believable".[[note]]Kinda ironic when you consider the franchise's ''Velociraptor'' were originally going to have forked tongues, but were removed for being "inaccurate".[[/note]]
* SeaMonster:
** She's a 60-foot-long monster that eats great white sharks for lunch. Subverted, though, as she seems relatively tame (or at least enough to be trusted with ''a stadium full of people'') and her handler is perfectly capable of standing on a platform above her tank without worrying about being eaten. [[spoiler:Indeed, she only causes one known human casualty, and only by accident.]] As well as this, [[spoiler:it is shown that she ''can'' reach the humans on the bank, as she does it for the ''I. rex''. It seems that, as long as she's regularly fed, she has no interest in munching the humans, who are ''much'' smaller than a shark and probably wouldn't fill her up.]]
** Played straight in [[spoiler:''[[Film/JurassicWorldFallenKingdom Fallen Kingdom]]'', with the now escaped ''Mosasaurus'' actively hunting surfers off the coastline]].
* ShownTheirWork: She has the beginnings of a fluke on her tail and an extra set of teeth on her palate.
* StealthyColossus: In the opening scene of ''Fallen Kingdom'', she manages to creep up on the small submarine and close her jaws on it without the men inside noticing her.
* StockDinosaurs: Though not a true dinosaur, ''Mosasaurus'' is a fairly well-known animal. The thing is, they're rarely depicted in non-documentary material, so this film might change that...
* StockSoundEffect: Her vocalizations have noticeable whale songs in them, to emphasize the fact that she's a marine animal and thus distinguish her from the land-dwelling animals.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Great white sharks seem to be her favorite snack.
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: ''Camp Cretaceous'' reveals that the ''Indominus rex'' carcass is ''in pieces'', while ''Fallen Kingdom'' reveals that the ''Indominus rex's'' rib-cage is upside down, but the head is not (which it would be if it fell while attached to the body). Presumably, this means that the ''Mosasaurus'' ''tore off the head by snapping the Indominus's neck'' while drowning it.
* YourSizeMayVary: While slightly over-sized in ''Jurassic World'', in ''Fallen Kingdom'' she's suddenly gargantuan for no discernible reason.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jurassic_world_fallen_kingdom_apatosaurus_by_sonichedgehog2_dc9e4bt_4.png]]

->'''Park Attraction:''' Gyrosphere

->''"''Apatosaurus'' can't chew. It has to swallow all of its plant food whole."''

One of Jurassic World's attractions, visible via the Gyrosphere Safari and the Cretaceous River Cruise. It is a long necked herbivorous dinosaur.

* AdaptationalWimp: Big time. In reality ''Apatosaurus'' was a very robust, muscular animal that was well equipped to defend itself against predators with sheer size, large thumb claws, thick neck, and a tail that could shatter bones. Here it's a SacrificialLamb that get slaughtered in mass by the ''Indominus'' offscreen. To add insult to injury, it's scrawnier than the real animal.
* ArtisticLicensePaleontology:
** Despite the website stating ''Apatosaurus'' cannot chew, it is seen doing so in the movie like the ''Brachiosaurus'' from the previous films. Also, its skin is leathery and wrinkled like an elephant's as opposed to covered in pebbly scales, and the thinner neck is more akin to ''Diplodocus''. And while this is still debatable, it seems that sauropod mouths would have had a beak-like keratinous sheath rather than fleshy, pliable lips like in the film, based on more well-preserved skulls of ''Camarasaurus'' and the recently-discovered ''Lavocatisaurus''.
* CanonImmigrant: Crossing over somewhat with MythologyGag; the films have never previously featured an ''Apatosaurus''. [[Literature/JurassicPark The original book]], however, does.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: The ''I. rex'' horribly mauls a herd of them, then leaves them to die slowly. [[ForTheEvulz For fun]].
* GentleGiant: Hence why theirs is an enclosure in which humans can interact somewhat with them.
* HerbivoresAreFriendly: Their Aggression Index is listed as "Low". This makes the ''I. rex's'' brutal attack on them all the more heartbreaking.
* LongNeck: As a sauropod, this is to be expected.
* RedShirt: Owen and Claire find ''a field'' littered with ''Apatosaurus'' corpses after the ''I. rex'' makes its way to Gallimimus Valley.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: The baby ones. A kid actually hugs one of them!
* ShownTheirWork: A rare fictional sauropod with correctly designed forefeet (single claw, no/fused visible digits).
* StockDinosaurs: A fairly iconic species.

->'''Aggression Index:''' High
->'''Park Attraction:''' Aviary
->'''Diet:''' Carnivore

->''"''Pteranodon'' have three clawed fingers on each hand, and four clawed toes on each foot."''

A famous pterosaur (flying reptile, but not a dinosaur) housed in an enormous aviary in Jurassic World, at the end of the Cretaceous River Cruise.

* AnimalGenderBender: An aversion; it has been confirmed Jurassic World's ''Pteranodon'' are all female, and they do have the short crests that only the females possess. They are still too big for female ''Pteranodon'' though (they are as big as the males, when they should be smaller).
* AnimalJingoism: One of them carries on the grand tradition of pterosaurs being eaten by giant sea reptiles.
* AnimalsNotToScale: It's the right size for a ''Pteranodon''... if they were ''males''. In reality, female ''Pteranodon'' were only about half the size of the males.
* DeathFromAbove: Attack people on the ground.
* FragileSpeedster: Despite their large size, a single tranquilizer dart can knock them out of the sky. The reason they're difficult to take out is partly because they're capable of flight and thus very mobile and maneuverable, and partly because they attack in massive numbers.
* GlassCannon: They're powerful flyers and strong enough to hoist a human into the air, but they can be taken down by a single tranquilizer dart.
* HairTriggerTemper: Stated to have a high Aggression Index. The ''I. rex'' uses this to her advantage by scaring them into a frenzy and more or less ''sending them to attack Masrani's helicopter''. Once they arrive at the park centre, they start indiscriminately divebombing the crowds unprovoked.
* HistoricalBadassUpgrade: Just like the previous movie, they're stronger and scarier than real ''Pteranodons''.
* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: While real life ''Pteranodons'' were pelican-like fish eaters, these are eagle-like predators.
* IAmNotLeftHanded: A sort of meta case. The film seems to take a brief [[HopeSpot sigh of relief]] after [[spoiler:Zara]] escapes one of the ''Pteranodons'' in the lagoon. Then she learns that they can swim...
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Their modus operandi, as two unfortunate ACU troopers learn the hard way. Throughout their attack on Main Street, they can be seen pinning hapless people down and pecking at them with their long, spear-like beaks.
* KidnappingBirdOfPrey: One almost grants [[spoiler:Zara]] the dubious honor of being the first human female to die in a ''Franchise/JurassicPark'' film, only to have its thunder stolen by the ''Mosasaurus''. Another one tries to do this to a baby ''Triceratops'' and [[WouldHurtAChild presumably some of the kids in the petting zoo]].
* MassOhCrap: The flock flees from the Aviary after the ''I. rex'' shows up. Given ''what'' the ''I. rex'' actually ''is'', can you really blame them?
* MonsterMunch: The one that was [[spoiler:killing Zara]] becomes this for the ''Mosasaurus''.
* NonMaliciousMonster: Though they collectively kill more people than any other creature in the film, they only act out of maddened instinct after the ''I. rex'' frightens them out of the Aviary.
* PteroSoarer: For once in the series, this trope is actually kind of subverted. On the one wing, they're naked, have grasping talons, launch by jumping instead of vaulting with their wings and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking are ugly]]. On the other wing, they're toothless, quadrupedal and are probably the only movie ''Pteranodons'' shown to [[ShownTheirWork dive into the water for food]] (something even documentary media is known to forget). Additionally, the website states that they're fish-eaters. Or at least, ''primarily'' fish-eaters. This combination makes them likely the ''most'' accurate ''Pteranodons'' in the whole franchise.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: They have a red, grey and tan color scheme and act as minor antagonists.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When they see the ''[[TheDreaded Indominus rex]]'' crashing into their Aviary, their first response is to get out of there as fast as they can.
* StockDinosaurs: Like the ''Mosasaurus'', they're not true dinosaurs. However, ''Pteranodon'' is the most iconic pterosaur in the public imagination.
* SwallowedWhole: [[spoiler:The one that was eaten by the ''Mosasaurus'' can be seen feebly trying to flap its wings afterward, implying that it was still alive after being chomped]].
* ToothyBird: Averted this time, as they're correctly portrayed without any teeth[[note]]although upon closer inspection they seem to possess small teeth-like bumps lining their bill (reminiscent of certain diving birds and waterfowl)[[/note]]. Oddly enough, the toys play this straight.
* WouldHurtAChild: A swarm of them attacks the Gentle Giants Petting Zoo and one attempts to carry off a baby ''Triceratops''. Fortunately for the little dino, it proves to be too heavy for the ''Pteranodon'' to carry.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: For the third time in the on-screen franchise, they are given a drastic redesign. Justified in that these ''Pteranodons'' are most likely a new batch of clones.
* ZergRush: After the ''I. rex'' scares them and their ''Dimorphodon'' neighbors out of the Aviary, they vent their frustrations out on terrified tourists in Main Street en masse. Somewhat TruthInTelevision, as there is good evidence to suggest that ''Pteranodons'' were fairly gregarious creatures (though they'd probably not attack people in such large numbers).

->''"The ''Dimorphodon'' is a snap-feeder, with quick jaws suited to snatching fish and insects."''

A type of pterosaur that lives in the Aviary alongside the larger ''Pteranodon''.

* AlasPoorVillain: "Villain" is probably [[CarnivoreConfusion too strong a word]], but it's hard not to feel sorry for one of them when it's [[KickTheDog callously shot out of the air]] by one of Hoskins' mercenaries.
* AnimalsNotToScale: Downplayed; their wingspans are twice as big as the real animal, according to supplementary material[[note]]the ones in the film have an eight foot wingspan, the real deal only had a four foot wingspan[[/note]].
* CanonImmigrant: Made its first appearance in the ''Lost World'' video game.
* DeathFromAbove: In [[DeathWorld a place like Jurassic World]], would you expect them to be anything else?
* {{Expy}}: Their role seems to amount to being flying versions of the ''Compsognathus'' from the second movie.
* FlyingFlightlessBird: Downplayed, as real life ''Dimorphodons'' still ''could'' fly, but they were likely not very good at it, due to their short wings and heavy bodies, and thus they probably couldn't cover as much ground as the ''Dimorphodons'' in the film do.
* FragileSpeedster: Like their compatriots, the ''Dimorphodons'' are built for flying and quite agile, but they lack proper defenses beyond that, making it easy to simply tranq them out of the sky.
* GlassCannon: They can attack in superior numbers and are stronger than they look, but their only real defenses are flying and biting.
* HistoricalBadassUpgrade: The real life ''Dimorphodon'' was a poor flyer that spent much of its time on the ground and only took to the air in emergencies. Here, they are DeathFromAbove.
* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: The real life ''Dimorphodon'' was also a harmless creature that was content to grub around in the dirt for bugs or hunt small animals in the trees or on the ground. Here, it's depicted as a tiny little flying demon.
* KillerRabbit: Smaller than ''Pteranodon'', but still deadly.
* MamaBear: If you walk into their nesting ground, the '' entire flock'' will come straight for you.
* MassOhCrap: The flock flees from the Aviary after the ''I. rex'' shows up.
* NonMaliciousMonster: Along with the ''Pteranodon'', they descend upon Main Street after being frightened from the Aviary.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: One of them can briefly be seen lifting a grown man off the ground (though it drops him shortly afterward) and another manages to knock Owen down with surprising ease.
* PteroSoarer: As usual. Doubly so in that not only is it ever an ugly dragon-like monstrosity (as opposed to the more elegant real pterosaurs), but also in that the real animal was a poor flyer. It's like trying to depict a ''chicken'' as a winged menace.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When they see the ''[[TheDreaded Indominus rex]]'' crashing into their Aviary, their first response is to get out of there as fast as they can.
* SeldomSeenSpecies: In educational material, ''Dimorphodon'' is a borderline [[StockDinosaurs Stock Pterosaur]], but in film media it's pretty rare.
* ShownTheirWork: In contrast to ''Pteranodon'', they are correctly portrayed with pycnofibres.
* TheSwarm: They descend on terrified tourists in one of these.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Inexplicably missing in the sequel.
* ZergRush: After the ''I. rex'' scares them and their ''Pteranodon'' neighbors out of the Aviary, they vent their frustrations out on terrified tourists in Main Street en masse. Unlike the ''Pteranodons'', there isn't real life evidence to suggest that ''Dimorphodons'' hunted in groups.

----
* AnimalsNotToScale: Averted, as they are accurately sized this time.
* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: The real ''Stegosaurus'' had a longer neck with gular armor. It also kept the tail elevated at all times, contrary to the movie, which is jarring given the stegosaurs in previous movies were portrayed with more accurate tail-raised postures[[note]]or at least the CGI versions; the ''Stego'' animatronic in ''TLW'' had a low-hanging tail if you look closely[[/note]]. Although this could be justified in that it's a result of living in captivity, seeing as how the tail-raised stegosaurs previously seen were all wild. And then in ''Fallen Kingdom'' they seems to have ditched their ornithischian beak (or made it subtle, like with the ''Gallimimus'').
* BewareMyStingerTail: The spiked tail, famously known as a [[ComicStrip/TheFarSide thagomizer]].
* BewareTheNiceOnes: While listed with low aggression, they can defend themselves very well.
* HerbivoresAreFriendly: Has a low aggression level, even though the wild ones seen in ''Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark'' were fairly aggressive and the real ''Stegosaurus'' may well have been among the most dangerous dinosaurs of its time. Possibly justified, as they were raised in captivity and may have also been genetically-altered to be docile towards humans.

----
* AnimalGenderBender: Female ''Parasaurolophus'' had rather short crests, but the ones in the film all have long crests. However, some studies suggest the short-crested specimens are actually a separate species (''Parasaurolophus cyrtocristatus'') from the long-crested ones (''Parasaurolophus walkeri'').
* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: Adult ''Parasaurolophus'' walked on all fours, but the ones in the film are [[FourLegsGoodTwoLegsBetter mainly bipedal]] (they do get quadrupedal for a brief moment in the FunnyBackgroundEvent mentioned below). It doesn't help they have shorter forelimbs than in reality.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Two of them can be seen fighting while Zach and Gray go gyrosphering offroad.
* HerbivoresAreFriendly: On par for the usual harmless depiction of hadrosaurs. Although in RealLife, hadrosaurs may have been much more dangerous, having muscular frames and whip-like tails capable of knocking down large predators.
* NoisyNature: The crest is used for communication.
* SeldomSeenSpecies: Played with. While the genus itself is perhaps the most famous hadrosaur, the ''Para'' seen on the viral website and which inhabits ''Gallimimus'' Valley is ''Parasaurolophus tubicen'', while the ones seen on the movie proper are the more well-known ''Parasaurolophus walkeri''.
* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: Unlike the other dinosaurs featured and despite being one of the commonly seen herbivores in the film, ''Parasaurolophus'' does not appear in the trailers nor has a promotional render, but it does eventually appear in the TV spots nearing the film's premiere. They have an even worse time in ''Fallen Kingdom'', where once again the species doesn't gain a promotional render and never shows up at all in the clips which led to viewers thinking it's not featured in the film.
* StockDinosaurs: ''Parasaurolophus'' is probably one of the most well-known duck-billed dinosaurs out there, if not THE most well-known duck-billed dinosaur.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The ''Para'' are seemingly missing in ''Fallen Kingdom''. [[spoiler:Subverted when they finally appear amongst the dinosaurs released from Lockwood Manor.]]

A large armored dinosaur with a clubbed tail.
-----
* AdaptationalDyeJob: Loses the black, red, and tan colouration it had in ''Jurassic Park III'' in favour of a uniform brownish grey.
* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: ''Ankylosaurus'' had more smoothed armor and none of those large spikes along the sides. Its beak was also much broader and didn't have such a pointed tip in the real animal.
* AscendedExtra: A minor example. ''Ankylosaurus'' made a few brief cameos in ''Film/JurassicParkIII'', but here they get their own scene interacting with the kids and ''Indominus rex'', and one of them even fights the hybrid theropod briefly.
* AttackItsWeakPoint: Its underside and its head are vulnerable. Unfortunately for the one that fights the ''Indominus'', the predator figures this out.
* BewareMyStingerTail: The thick club on their tail. Zach and Gray get to see it in action when the ''Ankylosaurus'' nearly smashes their Gyrosphere. The ''Indominus'', however, shrugs off a blow to the head.
* FlippingHelpless: How the ''Indominus'' manages to finish one off.
* HerbivoresAreFriendly: Averted. Their Aggression Index is "medium". Actually, they will only attack if you come close enough that they feel threatened, though when the ''I. rex'' attacks they go into a blind panic and start lashing out at everything in sight.
* NoSell: The ''Indominus'' trying to bite one doesn't work at first because even her jaws can't get through its armor. [[AttackItsWeakPoint Its unprotected underside is a different story]].
* OffWithHisHead: The one that fights ''Indominus'' gets decapitated by her.
* MassOhCrap: The quartet of them all panic when they are confronted by the ''I. rex''.
* StockDinosaurs: Granted, they are not depicted accurately in terms of physical appearance.
* TheWorfEffect: Such a resilient creature's defeat at the claws of ''I. rex'' is the first clear look at the latter's threat level.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: The Ankylos seen in the two ''Jurassic World'' films bear some notable differences when compared with the [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/jurassicpark/images/b/b3/Anky.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20111219053457&path-prefix=es original ones]] seen in ''Film/JurassicParkIII'', which had slightly shorter spikes, a darker armor color, a lighter colored body and a red stripe across their face. This can be easily explained by them being a different batch of clones.

->'''Aggression Index:''' Low
->'''Park Attraction:''' Gallimimus Valley
->'''Diet:''' Omnivore

->''"''Gallimimus'' doesn't have a single tooth in its entire mouth."''
-->-- '''Jurassic World website'''

An ornithomimid or ostrich-like dinosaur. Babies can be found in the Gentle Giants Petting Zoo, while the adults reside in ''Gallimimus'' Valley.
----
* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: The lack of feathers in the film version notwithstanding, the Toy/{{LEGO}} version is just a generic theropod that looks nothing like a ''Gallimimus''. Especially jarring considering ''[[VideoGame/LegoAdaptationGame LEGO Jurassic World]]'''s version properly looks more like a ''Gallimimus''.
* ContinuityNod: The scene their cameo takes place in was filmed in the same area as the ''Gallimimus'' scene from the original film.
* FragileSpeedster: One of the fastest dinosaurs in the park, but beyond that have no real defenses against predators. As the first film shows, any predator that can go after them is usually capable of easily killing them.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: During the stampede from the eruption, one of them doesn't look where it's going and bumps into an ''Allosaurus'', much to the predator's irritance. However, this only occurs in the trailers.
* HerbivoresAreFriendly: Inverted. They are omnivorous, but their aggression level is listed as low. Their main tour location is a safari wherein people can ride alongside flocks of them as they run, and children are allowed to hold and pet the baby ones in the petting zoo.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: The babies are tiny and adorable.
* StockDinosaurs: Like ''Velociraptors'', they became stock because of the ''Franchise/JurassicPark'' franchise.
* ToothyBird: A really weird and confusing example. The ones in the movie have small teeth if you look closely, and the official website shows a picture of a toothed ''Gallimimus''. And yet the website also claims that ''Gallimimus'' "doesn't have a single tooth in its mouth". So which is it?

A dinosaur with a thick skull roof, which it uses to hit adversaries.
----
* BeastlyBloodsports: Their purpose in the park is an arena where they fight each other. The VideoGame/LegoAdaptationGame suggests a subversion in that the ''Pachycephalosauruses'' simply test their skills on large stone pillars rather than each other.
* ButtMonkey: Between being the first dinosaur captured in ''Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark'' and having to be tranquilized after it gets loose in this film, the poor thing can't seem to catch a break. Lowery even asks for sympathy for it.
* TheCameo: One appears once for a brief moment on security camera footage on the monitor being sedated after having escaped.
* HardHead: Their best-known feature.
* HeadbuttingPachy: The species' ultimate trait.
* HerbivoresAreFriendly: Averted. Once angry, they will headbutt into things.
* RammingAlwaysWorks: The purpose of its thick skull is to [[UseYourHead use its head to smash stuff]]. And apparently, it's hard enough to break through security barriers, to the park staff's perpetual frustration.
* StockDinosaurs: One iconic dinosaur, though in this movie more discussed than seen, in contrast to their appearance in ''Film/{{The Lost World|JurassicPark}}''.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Is missing in the sequel, though fellow pachycephalosaurid ''Stygimoloch'' is featured prominently.
** Subverted, somewhat hilariously. ''Stygimoloch'' is now considered a junior synonym[[note]] If two initially seemingly distinct species are later found to be different forms of the same species, the younger or “junior” name falls into disuse in favor of the older name given to the species when it was first discovered.[[/note]] to ''Pachycephalosaurus''. Meaning that the ''Stygimoloch'' in ''Fallen Kingdom'', is actually just a juvenile ''Pachycephalosaurus''.
[[/folder]]

** In ''Fallen Kingdom'' they're shown practically galloping at high speeds among the stampede of dinosaurs fleeing from the volcanic eruption. In reality, it's unlikely giant sauropods were capable of top speeds much faster than human walking speed because of how massive they were.

** In general, Blue seems to show a lot of restraint for a member of her species, with her being able to recognize those who are threats to her and those who aren't. She recognizes Barry's voice when he shouts at her and stops attacking in ''Jurassic World'' and doesn't attack Zia and Franklin after recognizing them as the people who saved her and released her from her cell in ''Fallen Kingdom.'' And in ''Camp Cretaceous'', she hesitates from attacking the kids once they saved her from the ''Compsognathus'' pack and later assists them in [[spoiler:fighting the ''Scorpius rexes'' once Darius proves to her that he and his friends aren't a threat. Even after the battle where the kids are distracted and have their backs turned, Blue chose not to attack them and runs off into the jungle instead.]]

* DavidVersusGoliath: She fought the larger ''I. rex'' and ''Indoraptor'' and [[spoiler:''two Scorpius rexes'']] and [[spoiler:survives all three battles]]. While she couldn't do much against the former other than distracting it, she is capable of overpowering the latter two.

* LastOfHisKind: By the time of ''Fallen Kingdom'', Blue is apparently the last living ''Velociraptor''.

* SavedByCanon: In ''WesternAnimation/JurassicWorldCampCretaceous'', [[spoiler:Mitchell aims at Blue intending to kill her while she's drinking water, though considering she's alive and well by the time ''Film/JurassicWorldFallenKingdom'' takes place she survives thanks to Darius distracting Mitchell.]] Again in Season 3, where it's obvious that she's going to survive being trapped underneath an ACU truck and being chomped by a pack of ''Compsagnathus'' (though it takes the kids helping her out for it to happen) [[spoiler:and again when she fights with both ''Scorpius rexes'' in the old Visitor Center.]]

->'''Owen Grady:''' ''"She is learning where she fits in the food chain ... and I'm not sure you want her to figure that out."''

* BrokenAce: One of the greatest and most fearsome predators in Jurassic World... and also an unstable sociopath.

* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: She's the first dinosaur bred specifically for increased aggression, both for increased thrill factor and, more surreptitiously, as a prototype bioweapon. Plus she's raised in complete isolation with no positive associations other than the crate that brings her her food. Naturally, when she finally breaks out, she attacks just about everything in sight. Also, she's actively the main cause and central focus of the film's major crisis, whereas previous dinosaur main antagonists like the original raptors, the ''T. rexes'', and the ''Spinosaurus'' were simply the most dangerous hazard that happened to be present during a crisis.
* CreateYourOwnVillain: About as literal an example as you could find. The scientists at Jurassic World created her, and the frankly appalling conditions she was in certainly shaped her into the monster she is. Granted, a genetically engineered dinosaur is a bad idea right of the gate, but intentionally ''designing'' her to be aggressive, smart, and scary, and making her completely isolated from other living things? If they had gone for a nice herbivore, or even found a way for her to be able to be around other dinosaurs or a trainer, it probably wouldn't have been ''as'' bad.

* EnfantTerrible: The film opens with her and her sibling hatching. Some time after that, she ate her sister.

* GiantEqualsInvincible: An absolute juggernaut that is completely unaffected by machine gun fire, rockets, rifle bullets, tranqs, and shotguns throughout the movie. Even multiple fights with other huge dinosaurs and getting rebar speared into her barely even slow her down, so it would be fitting that [[spoiler: she would ultimately be taken down by the one predator on the island [[AlwaysABiggerFish bigger than her]]]].

** This is also a bit of a MythologyGag toward ''Literature/{{The Lost World|1995}}'' book: the raptors on Isla Sorna grew up without any parental figures to raise and teach them properly, and thus turned into vicious, feral predators that attack their own kin and murder for sport. They thus act exactly like ''I. rex'' does.
* GoneHorriblyRight: Claire and Dr. Wu wanted a dinosaur that was bigger, badder, and more intelligent than the ''T. rex'' or the raptors. Well, they got her... [[spoiler:Hoskins wanted a deadly LivingWeapon. He got that, too...]]

* ImmuneToBullets: During her attack against the [=ACU=] team, one trooper shoots her multiple times with a shotgun to no effect. Later, during the night-time ambush, she takes several full mags of combined assault rifle fire and seems completely unphased (in fact the sparks flying off her and lack of blood seem to suggest the bullets are at least partially deflecting off her osteoderms). It takes Owen's big game brush rifle to visibly punch holes in her, and she doesn't seem hindered in any way by the shots.

* {{Leitmotif}}: Indominus is the first dinosaur in the franchise to have a theme only for her, a series of foreboding notes. It gets a notable reprise in ''Fallen Kingdom'' when the sub finds her skeleton at the bottom of the Mosasaurus lagoon.

* SuperIntelligence: Her intelligence isn't even human-like, it's above average human intelligence. Not only it can figure it is being tracked by [=RFID=] despite knowing nothing about the technology or the human's tracking ability, but it can set a trap with it, seemingly figures out how ''Pteranodons'' will react to their aviary being broken into and communicate with another species because it shares a part of her DNA.
* SuperToughness: She is extremly durable. Getting hit in the '''head''' by an ''Ankylosaurus'' just annoys her, rather than breaking her skull. [[spoiler:In the fight with Rexy, she survives getting bitten on the neck and keeps fighting. Nothing short of getting dragged into the water by the one predator bigger than she is stops her.]]

* UnskilledButStrong: An engineered apex predator who has brawn and brain, but little in the way of experience. Played straight with the encounter with the ''T. rex.'' While the ''I. rex'' is tough and formidable, the ''T. rex'' is plainly battle scarred and has fighting experience. The encounter with the ''T. rex'' is the first time the ''I. rex'' has encountered an opponent who isn't afraid, knows how to fight ''and fights back,'' and is approximately the same size as she is. The ''T. rex'' also has the advantage of not going up against the ''I. rex'' alone.

* {{Hypocrite}}: He dismisses Claire's requests to make some budget cuts to Jurassic World quoting that John Hammond said "Spare no expenses". However, he refuses to let the Indominus Rex when she breaks free get hunted with lethal weapons claiming that they have $28 million invested in her.

* VillainyFreeVillain: Yeah he wants to use the dinosaurs for military purposes and is rather giddy watching the chaos unfold but despite being in a high position of power, Hoskins never does anything villainous or illegal and shows a surprising amount of restraint even after being punched by Owen. When he finally gets the raptors he tries to use them to kill the I-Rex.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Hoskins wants to use the raptors to hunt the ''I. rex'', but the ''I. rex'' is a very legitimate concern and his priority seems to be preventing further deaths. He also believes that using Raptors for war instead of humans would save many lives. [[spoiler: Of course it becomes a lot more debatable when you find out he wanted the I-Rex to escape.]]

** She saves the campers from the [[spoiler: Scorpios Rex]] in Season 3 of ''Camp Cretaceous''.

* LargeAndInCharge: She effectively becomes this when she [[spoiler:communicates with and takes over the velociraptor pack]].

* NoSell: Minigun rounds? No big deal. An Ankylosaurus' tail club? 'Tis but a scratch! Velociraptor attacks? Like the bite of a flea! The ''Indominus'' only really has a hard time when she comes face-to-face with the veteran ''Tyrannosaurus'', Roberta/Rexy.

* SuperPrototype: The ''Indominus'' is the first fully developed true dinosaurian hybrid and is far stronger than her successor the ''Indoraptor'', being largely unharmed by even heavy ordanance and capable of overpowering Rexy, whereas the Indoraptor was hurled out of a window by Blue.

* StockDinosaurs: Like ''Velociraptor'', they became stock because of the ''Franchise/JurassicPark'' franchise.

* AdvertisedExtra: Blue features in a lot of promotional material for ''Camp Cretaceous'' but she only appears in 1 significant scene in season 1 with a cameo in the last episode, and 2 very brief appearances in season 2. Season 3 gives her a more important role, though again its only for a couple of episodes.

** In Camp Cretaceous she does attack the kids, but only after they had trespassed on her nest, and unlike pretty much every other predator on the island, Blue does not hunt the kids in any way, only chase them off, showing that at the very least Blue does not consider humans to be food.
** In general, Blue seems to show a lot of restrain for a member of her species, with her being able to recognize those who are threats to her and those who aren't. She recognizes Barry's voice when he shouts at her and stops attacking in ''Jurassic World'' and doesn't attack Zia and Franklin after recognizing them as the people who saved her and released her from her cell in ''Fallen Kingdom.'' And in ''Camp Cretaceous'', she hesitates from attacking the kids once they saved her from the ''Compsognathus'' pack and later assists them in [[spoiler:fighting the ''Scorpius rexes'' once Darius proves to her that he and his friends aren't a threat. Even after the battle where the kids are distracted and have their backs turned, Blue chose not to attack them and runs off into the jungle instead.]]
* AndroclesLion: After she becomes trapped underneath an overturned ACU truck, Darius, Yaz and Kenji save her by driving off an encroaching pack of ''Compsagnathus'' that would have devoured her alive, and then lifted the truck just enough that she could crawl out. [[spoiler: She later returns the favor by attacking and distracting both of the Scorpios Rexs' when one of them corners the kids in the old Visitor Center, giving the Campers ample time to knock the scaffolding down and causing the roof to collapse, killing both Scorpios in the process, and just managing to escape with the Campers.]]

** She saves the campers from the [[spoiler: Scorpios Rex]] in season three of Camp Cretaceous

* TheBrute: Delta is arguably the most "traditionally" velociraptor-like of the pack, being especially snarling around Hoskins and actually attacking her "father" when still quite young.

* BackToBackBadasses: [[spoiler: Delta and Echo fight ''Indominus'' alongside Owen for a brief while before they're killed.]]

* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: She's the first dinosaur bred specifically for increased aggression, both for increased thrill factor and, more surreptitiously, as a prototype bioweapon. Plus she's raised in complete isolation with no positive associations other than the crate that brings her her food. Naturally, when she finally breaks out, she attacks just about everything in sight. Also, she's actively the main cause and central focus of the film's major crisis, whereas previous dinosaur main antagonists like the original raptors, the T-Rexes, and the Spinosaurus were simply the most dangerous hazard that happened to be present during a crisis.

%%* DeconstructiveParody: Serves as one for the Spinosaurus hybrid from [[Film/JurassicParkIII previous film]]. Her intense fight against Rexy and Blue shows just what would happen to the Spinosaurus if it was a real-life scenario. [[spoiler: Interestingly, I-Rex's far more realistic injuries and difficulties makes her more powerful than the Spinosaurus. ''Not the other way around''.]]

* PrehistoricMonster: A genetically-engineered hybrid dinosaur made from various DNA of prehistoric and modern-day animals, deliberately designed to be bigger and meaner than T. rex with exaggerated predatory features, and spent most of its life in an isolated, small enclosure. The result? A vicious, unstoppable monster bent on slaughtering the entire population of dinosaurs and humans on the island for sport.

* SpikesOfVillainy: Her neck and back are armored by pointy osteoderms inherited from her abelisaur genetic contributors -- namely ''Carnotaurus'', ''Majungasaurus'' and ''Rugops'' -- that emphasize her menacing appearance and nature.

* SuperIntelligence: Her intelligence isn't even human-like, it's above average human intelligence. Not only it can figure it is being tracked by RFID despite knowing nothing about the technology or the human's tracking ability, but it can set a trap with it, seemingly figures out how Pteranodons will react to their aviary being broken into and communicate with another species because it shares a part of her DNA.

* SuperPrototype: The Indominus is the first fully developed true dinosaurian hybrid and is far stronger than her successor the Indoraptor, being largely unharmed by even heavy ordanance and capable of overpowering Rexy, whereas the Indoraptor was hurled out of a window by Blue.

* WhatDidYouExpectWhenYouNamedIt: Par for the course - naming it after a word meaning "untamable" means all attempts at controlling it ''will'' backfire. Owen is close to rolling his eyes when Claire reveals the name.

* {{Kaiju}}: Had a growth spurt between World and Fallen Kingdom, placing her squarely in this category.

* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: ''Camp Cretaceous'' reveals that the Indominus Rex carcass is ''in pieces'', while ''Fallen Kingdom'' reveals that the Indominus Rex's rib-cage is upside down, but the head is not (which it would be if it fell while attached to the body). Presumably this means that the Mosasaurus ''tore off the head by snapping the Indominus's neck'' while drowning it.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: Played with. While the genus itself is perhaps the most famous hadrosaur, the ''Para'' seen on the viral website and which inhabits Gallimimus Valley is ''Parasaurolophus tubicen'', while the ones seen on the movie proper are the more well-known ''Parasaurolophus walkeri''.

An ornithomimid or ostrich-like dinosaur. Babies can be found in the Gentle Giants Petting Zoo, while the adults reside in Gallimimus Valley.

* UnfortunateNames: The park controllers refer to them as "Pachy" for short. Understandable, as their name is pronounced "Pack-ee-seff-ah-low-soar-us" and it has been a common nickname for several decades now. American filmmakers, however, apparently didn't realize that in British English, the homonym "Paki" is an ethnic slur against Pakistani immigrants.

* AdaptationalWimp: Big time. In reality ''Apatosaurus'' was a very robust, muscular animal that was well equipped to defend itself against predators with sheer size, large thumb claws, thick neck, and a tail that could shatter bones. Here it's a SacrificialLamb that get slaughtered in mass by the Indominus. To add insult to injury, it's scrawnier than the real animal.
* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: Despite the website stating ''Apatosaurus'' cannot chew, it is seen doing so in the movie like the ''Brachiosaurus'' from the previous films. Also, its skin is leathery and wrinkled like an elephant's as opposed to covered in pebbly scales, and the thinner neck is more akin to ''Diplodocus''. And while this is still debatable, it seems that sauropod mouths would have had a beak-like keratinous sheath rather than fleshy, pliable lips like in the film, based on more well-preserved skulls of ''Camarasaurus'' and the recently-discovered ''Lavocatisaurus''.

* HairTriggerTemper: Stated to have a high Aggression Index. The ''I. rex'' uses this to her advantage by scaring them into a frenzy and more or less ''sending them to attack Masrani's helicopter''.

* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: ''Ankylosaurus'' had more smoothed armor and none of those large spikes along the sides.

* NonMaliciousMonster: She more or less acted the way any large aquatic predator in a tank would if something foreign fell in or was hanging over said tank. Though her aggression is labelled as being "high", she is not considered to be a threat to the tourists. That being said in the sequel she is actively eating surfers isntead of hunting ocean animals possibly subverting this.

* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: Despite the website stating ''Apatosaurus'' cannot chew, it is seen doing so in the movie like the ''Brachiosaurus'' from the previous films. Also, its skin is leathery as opposed to pebbled and the thinner neck is more akin to ''Diplodocus''. And while this is still debatable, it seems that sauropod mouths would have had a beak-like keratinonus sheath rather than fleshy, pliable lips like in the film, based on more well-preserved skulls of ''Camarasaurus'' and the recently-discovered ''Lavocatisaurus''.

* ToothyBird: Averted this time, as they're correctly portrayed without any teeth[[note]]although upon closer inspection they seem to possess small teeth-like bumps lining their bill[[/note]]. Oddly enough, the toys play this straight.

* AbsurdlySharpClaws: She a set of massive ''Therizinosaurus''-derived claws on her hands that can gouge cement and pierce bullet-proof glass.

* NotSoDifferent: He tries to push this with former Navy man Owen, saying they're both "dogs of war," but it's a shallow manipulation like everything else.

* BigBrotherBully: Zach is a mild case for Gray, which is one of the reasons their mother is upset with Claire for foisting them off on Zara, but he stops once the real danger begins. Karen exaggerating it a bit seems to be a sign that she's often been a [[ParentalNeglect neglectful parent]] and NotSoDifferent than Claire in regards that she's not very attentive to her family and probably only assume Zach is BigBrotherBully on superficial level. That's also probably why Zach doesn't seem to think much of her, either, given that his father at one point semi-sternly told him to listen to her when she's talking to him and Gray.
