From the Latin meaning “fierce or untamable” comes the name of the mystery Dinosaur created at Jurassic World. The Indominus Rex. Completely made from the genes of other Dinos, comes a creature that’s like a larger T-Rex with longer arms that can jump like a Velociraptor. Can you think of anything more horrifying? I can’t wait to see this bad boy take on Chris Pratt and the others at the attraction on Isla Nublar as Pratt uses Velicoraptors to hunt it. My only hope is that we see a lot more Practical Effects out of this movie and it’s not laden with CGI.
Check out some of the promo shots and description of the new creature from the Official Jurassic World Page
We set out to make Indominus the most fearsome dinosaur ever to be displayed at Jurassic World. The genetic engineers at our Hammond Creation Lab have more than delivered. At first glance, Indominus most closely resembles a T. Rex. But its distinctive head ornamentation and ultra-tough bony osteoderms can be traced from Theropods known as Abeliosaurs. Indominus’ horns have been placed above the eye orbit through genetic material hybridized from Carnotaurus, Majungasaurus, Rugops and Giganotosaurus. Fearsome indeed.
Indominus’ roar is estimated to reach 140-160db—the same as a 747 taking off and landing. And it can reach speeds of 30 mph…while confined to its enclosure. Come experience Indominus Rex for yourself beginning this summer. If you dare.
Everything about the description above just spells trouble.
