Jurassic World

Management

    Claire Dearing 
The park director.
  • An Arm and a Leg: Loses a forearm at the end of the climax.
  • Animal Motifs: Snakes. Her ring features a couple of snakes and she has a special relationship with the Indominus, which has sometimes snake-like manners in addition of having Snake DNA.
  • Arch-Enemy:
    • Wu became this when she became park director, a position he coveted.
    • The Indominus is this during the Fall of Jurassic World.
  • Ascended Fangirl: A twisted version of this trope is used in Dearing's case as she is a Tolkien's Legendarium fan who ends up realizing that she became somekind of a mix between Turin Turambar and Ar-Pharazon, two characters who triggered the fall of their kingdoms: Numenor for Ar-Pharazon, and Nargothrond for Turin (who acted not as its king but as a general and a top-advisor. While the destruction of the park by Mount Sibo's eruption can be reminiscent of that of Numenor, the Indominus is similar in some ways to Glaurung, Turin's nemesis.
  • Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Averted. She gets disfigured by the Indominus and loses a forearm to her jaws.
  • Big Damn Heroes: Her arrival at the Palace's front courtyard after her apparent suicide distract the Indiminus long enough for the grey guards to launch their counter-attack.
  • Character Development:
  • Clothing Damage: Over the course of the story, her blouse and her pair of jodhpurs gets damaged and by the end of her final confrontation with the Indominus, what remains of her clothes is a ragged short.
  • Cool Aunt: To Zach at least, as she warmly welcomes him and gives him advices. She and Gray have more difficulty to connect.
  • Covered in Gunge: Cover herself in volcanic mud when she is about to ambush the Indominus on the reef barrier.
  • Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?: Taunts and insult the Indominus on multiple occasions during the climax.
  • The Dragon Slayer: She becomes this at the end by not only facing but also mortally wounding the Indominus.
  • Driven to Suicide: She attempts to cast herself on a sword after leaving Burroughs with the intent of not evacuating in order to not face humiliation upon her return on the mainlandShe fails this attempt though and instead decide to go back to Burroughs and confront the Indominus,
  • Drowning My Sorrows: Several times when she is not in the wilderness, due to the stress caused by the whole island falling apart and her own future becoming very uncertain.
  • Fan Disservice: When she strike the Indominus from below on the reef barrier, the narration specify that the only clothes she is wearing is her pair of jodhpurs, which had been reduced to a ragged pair of shorts. But not only she has covered her entire body with volcanic mud to hide her scent, her eyes are bloodshot but the Indominus clawed her face and upper torso moments earlier. Later, as she is dragged underwater along the Indominus by the mosasaur, the mud and the blood on her are washed off but she loses her right forearm in the process. When Grady get her out of the lagoon and help her walk towards the Discovery Center while waiting for a rescue helicopter to come, she might be nearly naked but she had been mauled and is dying.
  • Fiery Red Head: She has red-hairs and is Hot-Blooded.
  • Genre Savvy: Dearing's knowledge of Norse Mythology and The Children of Húrin, which is established in the exchange she had earlier with the Tun-Si cleaning lady, very probably helped her defeat the Indominus at the end. How? She hide in a pit and wait for the Indominus to pass over her so she can strike her from below. In their respective stories, Sigurd/Siegfried and Turin Turambar use the very same tactic to slay their draconic enemy, i.e Fafnir for Sigurd/Siegfried and Glaurung for Turin.
  • Godzilla Threshold:
  • Has a Type: According to Cruthers, Krill and Young, her type would be guys like Aragorn, Conan, John Carter and Geralt of Rivia.
  • Lady Swears-a-Lot: Drops a few swears whenever she is annoyed or stressed.
  • Luke, You Are My Father: Discovering that her DNA is among the Indominus' genetic makeup really upsets her.
  • Mercy Kill: Hamada forces her to grant him one.
  • Nice to the Waiter: In The Fallen Kingdom, she offers some rum to an old cleaning lady.
  • Pop-Cultured Badass: She is a fan of Tolkien's Legendarium, Mass Effect, and seems to be familiar with Allan Quatermain and Franchise/Alien. As she calls J.J Abrams and Rian Johnson clowns at one point, one could count her among the Star Wars fans disappointed by the sequel trilogy.
  • Sanity Slippage: The fall of Jurassic World gradually erodes her sanity, up to a point where she threatens her subordinates and almost kill Ivan Preston in an outburst of anger.
  • Sex for Solace: Has some with Grady early in The Fallen Kingdom.
  • Skewed Priorities: During a scene where she and Leon have to drive fast out of an area being striked by volcanic bombs, she takes the time to scold Leon when he whines too much and express her dislike of the Star Wars sequel trilogy and its directors and producers.
    Leon: "Faster! I don't want to die as a virgin and without seeing the end of the Star Wars sequel trilogy!"
    Dearing: "Shut up! You won't miss anything given the poor quality of the first two parts! J.J Abrams and Rian Johnson are clowns you hear me?! Clowns! And don't tell me about Kath...!"
  • Smart People Wear Glasses: Downplayed. She only wear glasses when reading or working on a computer.
  • Sword and Gun: She use this combo during the climax.
    Zara Young 
Claire Dearing's assistant.
  • Adaptational Personality Change:
  • Adaptational Nationality: Whereas she is British in the 2015 film, she is here Irish, just like Katie McGrath , who portrayed her in the first.
  • Aloof Dark-Haired Girl: Subverted. She appears to be distant towards the Mitchells at first, acting like her film counterpart, but she and Zach befriends in the evening.
  • Foil: To Dennis Nedry from Jurassic Park. Both are spies working close with the park's management but while Nedry was disliked by all his colleagues due to his jerkass attitude, Young is mourned by several of the characters and even when she learn the truth about her spying activities, Dearing is unable to be mad at her.
  • The Mole:Was tasked by one of InGen's rivals to steal data on Wu's computer.
  • Raven Hair, Ivory Skin: Is dark-haired and has a pale complexion.
    Regina Powers 
The park’s public relations manager.
    Ramon Figueres 
The park's chief steward.

Control Room

    Lowery Cruthers 
The control room's chief technician.
  • Amicable Exes: With Krill. They dated when she was still in college but have since parted on good terms. Unlike his film counterpart, Cruthers is a married man and a father by the time of the story's events.
  • Ascended Fanboy: He became something of a Jurassic Park fan in the aftermath of the San Diego Incident. Years later, he was hired at its successor park.
  • Hipster: At one point, Dearing implies that he has a moustache like one.
  • Servile Snarker: To Dearing. He will obey to her orders but not without making some criticism or sarcastic comment.
    Vivian Krill 
A technician and Cruthers' best friend.
    Neil Harriman 
The liaison technician with the Grey Guard.
    Daniel Connors 
A technician.

The chief park keeper and large theropods curator.
    Owen Grady 
A keeper who specializes in raptor behavioural research. Before working at Jurassic World, he was part of the US Navy Marine Mammal Program.
  • Achilles in His Tent: After his argument with Dearing in the control room, he returns to his bungalow and stays there until she comes to ask for his help after things went south inside the Reserve.
  • Adaptational Jerkass:
  • Adaptational Wimp: Subverted. Though this version of Owen Grady shines more through his knowledge of animal behaviour than any action feat and has a more modest background than his film counterpart as he was just dolphin trainer in the navy with no past in the SEALs, it doesn't prevent him from having a minimum of badassery.
  • Adorkable:
  • Admiring the Abomination: He has a couple of moments where he look lenghtily at the Indominus.
  • Amazon Chaser: Has a thing for women with a strong personality. According to Cruthers, Krill and Young, it's a professional deformation of working with dangerous predatory animals. He of course had an affair with Dearing a few years before the story's events (and both ends up together again by the end) and it's implied that he had a or a couple of hook-up or something like this with Darbinian at some point.
  • Beard of Sorrow: One starts to grow on his face in the weeks that followed the fall of the park.
  • Butt-Monkey: His past relationship with Dearing brings upon him mockeries and tauntings from Sembène, the trio Cruthers, Krill, Young, and Darbinian.
  • Covered with Scars: He has a collection of scars on his body: small ones on his hands and arms, a deeper one on his cheek, crescent of marks on both sides of his right forearm, and long clawing marks on his back.
  • Facing Death With Dignity:
  • Fluffy Tamer: Trains a pack of four Achillobator, a large feathered species of dromaeosaurid.
  • Has a Type: See Amazon Chaser entry above.
  • Knife Knut: Downplayed. He has a knife but only use it when necessary.
  • Mr Fan Service: Has a Walking Shirtless Scene in The Edge of Chaos and is naked during a short scene in The Fallen Kingdom.
  • The Other Darrin: The physical appearence of this version of Grady was based on Alexander Dreymon rather than Chris Pratt, who portrayed this character in the 2015 film.
  • Papa Wolf: Towards the Achillobator pack, which he even calls his girls.
  • Pietà Plagiarism: The way he carries a unconscious and badly injured Dearing evoke this trope.
  • Sex for Solace: Has some with Dearing early in The Fallen Kingdom.
    Barry Sembène 
A French keeper who works with Grady on the IBRIS program.
    Leon Evans 
An intern under Owen Grady's supervision.
  • Too Dumb to Live: At least in Grady's opinion. Not only does he accidentally fall into the paddock attempting to retrieve an escaped piglet, he also turns his back to the bars, which is a no-no.

The Slayers

    In General 
The Slayers are InGen's own black-ops team, originally created during the Saurian Wars to defend the construction sites and crews against the attacks from feral dinosaurs.
  • Arch-Enemy: Were this to the feral carnivores of Nublar during Jurassic World’s construction. Become this to the grey guards.
  • Black Knight: While not technically knights, the Slayers’ appearance evoke this.
  • Blood Knight: They are violent in battle.
  • Cool Mask: The Slayers' faces are often concealed behind frightening mask-like visors whose lower part have a series of slits designed to evoke a row of sharp teeth.
  • Court-martialed : Sherman, Decker, Olsen and Faraci were put on trial and excluded from the United States Armed Forces for dishonorable discharges, rape in the case of Faraci, murder for Olsen and Decker, and covering a murder for Sherman.
  • Dark Is Evil: Zigzagged. While all the Slayers wear a black attire, their degree of evilness varies from member to member with punch-clock villains and affable individuals like Sherman and Cortes to sociopathic soldiers and total monsters like Faraci.
  • The Dragon Slayer : Style themselves as this. Justified as they are seasoned dinosaur hunters.
  • Equal-Opportunity Evil: Their members comes from various ethnic backgrounds and include two women.
  • Fallen Hero: Originally created as a part of InGen Security response to the threat posed by Nublar’s feral carnivores on the construction crews, they became the corporation’s top enforcers and black-ops team. While some like Faraci were already despicable individuals when they were recruited, Lambert Ross hints that others became this trope over the course of the Saurian Wars.
  • Foil : To the Grey Guards. Both are multinational teams with medieval-like aesthetics that were created to deal with dinosaurs. But while the first considers the latter as Worthy Opponents and only kills them when they have no choice, the Slayers are Blood Knight who shows gratuitious cruelty.
  • Godzilla Threshold: Whenever they are nearby, you know that InGen is taking things really seriously.
  • Knight of Cerebus : Once they appear, the story takes an even darker turn with a Humans Are the Real Monsters subtext.
  • Multinational Team : While most of the Slayers are Americans, there are some Costaricans and even a Congolese among their ranks.
  • Private Military Contractors: Most of its members are former soldiers.
  • Putting on the Reich: Downplayed example since they don’t follow a Nazi-like ideology and actually have ethnic diversity in their ranks but their black attire and some of their actions during the Saurian Wars evoke the Waffen SS. The episode when they slaughtered a part of a proceratosaur clan inside the old visitor centre and torched the building in retaliation of an attack was heavily inspired by the massacre of Oradour Sur Glane.

  • Badass Preacher: He was a military chaplain before he was trialed, convicted and then recruited by InGen.

    Esmeralda Pizarro 
Another Tun-Si part of the Slayers and an old friend of Cortès. Unlike him, she was born on the mainland.

    Reynald Faraci 
  • Hate Sink: Probably the most despicable character of the entire story as he has no redeemable qualities and is a sociopathic soldier.
  • Jerkass Has a Point: He ends up being right about Lynton having barely any consideration for the Slayers and seeing them only as tools.
  • Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Had he shut up and not said Leng aloud, Darbinian and Yu would have figured out way less easily thanks to the Mitchells brothers' account that the Slayers were behind the ambush suffered by Brunet's platoon.
  • Serial Rapist: Has been convicted for rape in the past.
  • Would Hit a Girl: He murders Patience Bellamy and has rapist tendencies.
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork : Due to his misogyny and racism, Leng, Decker, Cortes and Pizarro have troubles working with him, especially Decker due to her backstory.

    Kevin Leng 

    Nolan Olsen 
The tallest of the Slayers.
  • Big Axe: His main weapon is a great axe.
  • The Brute: His extremely tall, very strong and is a formidable fighter.
  • Facial Horror: Some predator has bitten off much of his lips during the Saurian Wars, leaving his teeth and gums uncovered in some sort of a permanent grotesque grin. Most of the time, he hide this disfigurement behind a balaclava.
  • Giant Mook: Is over 2 meters tall.
  • Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Impales a [spoiler:a guard]] on a skeleton stegosaur’s thagomizer. He suffers later from this trope.
  • The Quiet One: Doesn’t talk a lot.
  • Rasputinian Death: First, Selma Forrester stabs him multiple times in the belly. Seconds later, her husband Niall cuts his tendons with an axe and Selma thrust a spear in Olsen's mouth. The giant is finally killed when Niall dig his axe in his skull.
  • Vocal Dissonance: His massive, almost monstrous appearance belies a surprisingly calm voice.

Before he joined the Slayers, Léopold Butu was a Congolese mercenary who worked with US agents in Central Africa.
    Ford 
    McNamara 
    Arana 
A Costa Rican slayer.

The Grey Guard

    In General 

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/grey_guard_official_sigil_8.png
Coat of arms of the Grey Guard

The Grey Guard is a UN-backed paramilitary organisation found in the Five Deaths Archipelago and on Isla Nublar. It is dedicated to the protection of the aforementioned archipelago, populated by feral de-extinct reptiles escaped from InGen's Site B on Isla Sorna. It also supports the staff of Jurassic World in ensuring the safety of the park and its employees and visitors. As the guards are used to deal with dinosaurs and other dangerous de-extinct species, they are useful in capturing escaped and/or rampaging animals. The current marshal is Helmut Störmer.

The organisation's motto is Cave Dracones, Beware the Dragons in Latin, and its names comes from the greenish grey colour of its uniforms.

  • Animal Motif: Dragons. Its sigil consist of a roaring dragon and a crescent of five stars while recruits of the guard are sometimes referred as dragonets. Justified as the Dragon is a metaphor of the Five Deaths archipelago’s prehistoric wildlife. The guards themselves show aspects from both eastern and western dragons. They have the benevolent guardians role of the eastern dragons but just like the western dragons, they can be wrathful and violent towards whatever or whoever became their enemies.
  • Badass Army: Those men and women are trained to confront highly dangerous animals if the situation requires.
  • Badass Long Coat: They wears dark green—grey cloaks on some occasions. The rangers wear some whenever they are on missions.
  • Battle Cry: Cave Dracones!.
  • Cultural Chop Suey: In addition to being an international military organization, the Grey Guard shows multiple cultural influences in its culture and gear.
    • As the founder of the organization was a Welsh aristocrat, their fort on Isla Sorna bears a Welsh name and the symbolic animal of the organization is a dragon.
    • They have units called hoplites and retiarii.
    • Their helmets features a spectacle guard and cheek pieces, not unlike some types of Viking helmets.
    • Their sabres are described having an Eastern Asian design.
    • Their protective gear feature small scale-like structures at their surface. The inspirations behind this are the Roman Lorica squamata, Scythian scale armours, and some armours from Feodal Japan and Ancient China.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: Even though they are not as frightening-looking as InGen’s Slayers, the grey guards might seem intimidating and scary in the eyes of some, with their medieval-looking helmets, the balaclavas that sometimes hides the lower part of their faces, or their weapons. The first version of the Grey Guard’s banner featured a crescent of five skulls and a roaring dragon upon a black field and was considered too sinister by the UN authorities to appear on the organisation’s assets. On one occasion during the story, some of the guards wear also some scary-looking tribal-like warpaints. The grey guards themselves are often willing to help and rescue defenceless civilians and partners and allies like some Jurassic World employees (the keepers and the J-SEC in particular) but never betray them or use them as unwilling guinea-pigs because they are not the kind of people you want to make into enemies and InGen’s Security learn it the hard way.
  • In the Hood : To protect themselves from certain elements like rain, the guards put hoods over their heads and hoods are part of the guard’s rangers uniforms.
  • Legion of Lost Souls: One of the main inspirations behind the Grey Guard is the French Foreign Legion.
  • Mildly Military: Although it is fairly disciplined, it doesn’t run quite the same as most modern armies. And the guard is not strictly military as there are members from police forces among its troops.
  • Multinational Team: The guards can be recruited from armies and police forces of every country part of the United Nations. The guards that appears in the story hails from France, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Germany, Russia, Italy, the United States, Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, Venezuela, Colombia, Jamaica, Chile, Australia, India, China, Korea, Japan, Egypt, Kenya and South Africa.
  • Poisoned Weapons: When they are tasked to kill dangerous animals, the guards dip their arrows and their harpoons in a neurotoxin derived from Blue-ringed Octopus.
  • Private Military Contractors: The Grey Guard work for the Costa Rica government and the United Nations. It also has former mercenaries in its ranks.
  • SamuraiVikingHopliteMusketeer: They evoke this trope when in armour. See Cultural Chop Suey and Schizo Tech entries.
  • Schizo Tech: While the Grey Guard has modern vehicles and firearms among its assets, its troops also have sabres, spears, pikes, axes, bows, blowpipes and shields, and Nublar’s garrison has also horses. In some occasions during the fall of Jurassic World, the grey guards adopt ancient or medieval formations and tactics like phalanx, shield walls or cavalry charge. Overall, in terms of aesthetic, look and organization, the Grey Guard is closer to a Medieval armed force than to a modern one.
  • Shout-Out:
    • To A Song of Ice and Fire: By being a politically-neutral military-esque order being based in a dangerous uncivilized area geographically isolated from civilization, the Grey Guard is similar to the Night’s Watch, a comparision which is even made by one of the characters. The difference is that the Grey Guard’s seek to prevent people from the civilized world to coming into the wilderness of the Five Deaths and though it also have exiles in its ranks, it’s not depicted as a gulag where undesirable individuals like criminals are sent.
    • To Tolkien's Legendarium: With their hoods, balaclavas, dark-green grey uniforms, and bows, the Grey Guard’s rangers looks similarily to the Dunedain rangers (or even the Ithilien rangers as seen in the films’ trilogy). In addition to that, the Grey Guard’s main purpose is to protect from trespassers the lost world that the Five Deaths became, just like the Dunedains guards the borders of the Shire.
  • Sword and Gun: Firearms and melee weapons such as sabres, knives and axes are part of the guards' weaponry.
  • The Exile: Some members of the Guard are exiles.

Isla Nublar garrison

Officers

    Katashi Hamada 
The Japanese captain of the garrison.
  • Adaptational Job Change: Hamada was the commander of the ACU (Asset Containment Unit) in Colin Trevorrow's film. In this reimagining, he is a captain in the Grey Guard. Sure, the two jobs might be similar but the employers are not the same.
  • Adaptational Nationality: In the novelization of the 2015 film, it's stated that Hamada was a SWAT officer before he joined the ACU at Jurassic World. Given this, one can assume that the character was an American of Japanese descent. In this reimagining, Hamada is fully Japanese.
  • A Father to His Men:
  • Age Lift: Is around a decade older than his film counterpart.
  • Ascended Extra: He was a Mauve Shirt in the film and has more importance in this fic.
  • The Captain: As the captain of Nublar's garrison, he is the top grey guard officer on the island.
  • Dies Differently in Adaptation: In the film, his body is crushed underfoot by the Indominus in a stream. In this reimagining, the Indominus only superficially claws his abdomen and crush his arm. He only dies after begging Dearing to put an end to his sufferings.
  • Good Is Not Nice:
  • Ignored Expert: Dearing ignored his requests to build large-capacity bunkers and his warnings about the Indominus.
  • Mercy Kill: Forces Dearing to grant him one.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business:
  • The Other Darrin: The physical appearence of this version of Hamada was based on Hiroyuki Sanada rather than Brian Tee, who portrayed this character in the 2015 film.
    Gilbert Brunet 
A French lieutenant.
  • A Father to His Men:
  • Animal Motifs: Lions, appropriate for a soldier who spent years in Africa. The Lion is also the sigil animal of Franche-Comté, the French region from which Brunet hails from.
  • Anti-Villain:
  • The Atoner:
  • Blood Knight:
  • Birds of a Feather: With Darbinian. Both are Tall, Dark, and Snarky Blood Knight with a Dark and Troubled Past who went into exile and have (or had) a conflictual relationship with their respective fathers.
  • The Brute: He is easily the most brutal officer of the garrison.
  • Cheese-Eating Surrender Monkeys: Averted, big time.
  • Daddy Issues:
  • Dark and Troubled Past:
  • The Determinator:
  • Died in Your Arms Tonight: Dies in Darbinian’s.
  • Exact Words:
  • The Exile:
  • French Jerk: Is French and one better not stand in his way or wrong him.
  • Gratuitious French: He frequently swears in French.
  • Grim Up North: He is from the Haut-Doubs, one of the French equivalent of this trope as it is a rural and mountainous area known for its harsh winters.
  • Hired Gun: Was a mercenary from the 80s to the early 2000s.
  • Horseback Heroism: Leads a near-suicidal cavalry charge against a pack of neoraptors and proceratosaurs in order to save a group of visitors that was about to be slaughtered by the Indominus.
  • I Have No Son!: Suffered from this.
  • Like a Son to Me: He confess to Darbinian that she is like a daughter to him.
  • Old Soldier: Is 60 during the fall of Jurassic World.
  • Thanatos Gambit: He orders Darbinian to kill him in order toe ensure her freedom and those of the other insurgents grey guards.
  • Red Baron: Gilbert Brunet is also known as “The Black Lion”.
  • Token Evil Teammate: Was once this. He managed to join the Guard only through a bargain with marshal Pennant as he was taken prisoner for being part of a poaching crew.
  • Tyrant Take The Helm: After Torres' flight and the scattering of the remaining InGen forces in the park, the grey guards takes control of the Administration under his leadership and leave shortly after with a considerable force to crush the Slayers and the other InGen soldiers.

Dinosaurs and other creatures

Individual Creatures

    The Indominus 
InGen's latest creation, an apex-predator species which is the result of the genetic hybridation of several species, both prehistoric and modern. Two individuals were cloned but one of them was killed by the other, which grew to become a terryfing monster like nothing seen before. She triggers the fall of Jurassic World.
  • Adaptational Attractiveness: She is less ugly than her film counterpart and her look is visually attractive to the eyes of several of the characters, with Grady even thinking that she is kinda beautiful in her own way. There is a seductive aspect to her that evokes the Serpent in Judeo-Christian mythology or Glaurung and Smaug from Tolkien's Legendarium and some of its adaptations.
  • Adaptational Heroism: In The Fallen Kingdom, she becomes a POV character and has a couple of sympathetic moments.
  • Anti-Human Alliance: Ends up leading one made of Neoraptors and Proceratosaurs in The Fallen Kingdom.
  • An Arm and a Leg: Has one of her arms teared-off by Roberta during the climax.
  • Antagonistic Offspring: Is one to Claire Dearing, her unwitting human DNA donor.
  • Boomerang Bigot: Hates humans and want to wipe them out of Isla Nublar. She’s actually part human.
  • Cain and Abel: She had a sibling, whom she killed and ate.
  • Child by Rape: Like Ian Malcolm would said, her existence is "a rape of the natural world". She's also the result of a "genetic rape" of Claire Dearing.
  • Create Your Own Villain:
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: Inflicts several to the humans.
  • Dark Action Girl: She is a fierce and cruel predator.
  • Dinosaurs Are Dragons: She looks like a dragon and according to Dearing, this is entirely intentional.

  • Freudian Excuse:
  • Genius Bruiser: She is large, powerful and very intelligent.
  • Hero Killer: Characters tends to drop like flies whenever she's around.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard:
  • Horns of Villainy: She inherited horns from Kaprosuchus and the Texas Horned Lizard.
  • Humans Are the Real Monsters: Firmly believe in this trope. Given some of the events that happens during the fall of Jurassic World, one might think she is right to believe this.
  • Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: She impales on branches Sandros and two of his companions.
  • Kneel Before Zod:
  • Light Is Not Good: Her main colour is white.
  • Living Weapon: The protagonists ends up discovering that she was intended as a bioweapon.
  • Monster Delay: She is fully revealed only near the end of the first book.
  • Monster Is a Mommy: Like one of the veterinary assistants suspected, she is actually pregnant in the first book. She has a miscarriage in the first third of "The Fallen Kingdom" though, probably because of the stress she cumulated during the day and the venom that coated the harpoon thrusted in her shoulder.
  • Nothing Is Scarier: With her stealthy approaches and camouflage abilities, she embodies this trope.
  • Our Dragons Are Different: Although she can't breathe fire and has no magical abilities whatsoever, she's the closest thing to a dragon in the setting and in "The Fallen Kingdom", she shows a behaviour very similar to those of some dragons from Tolkien's Legendarium like Smaug and Glaurung and her intellect rivals with theirs.
  • Overly-Long Tongue: She has one, due to the woodpecker DNA.
  • Rage Against the Heavens: Her story is this from her perspective. She once saw humans as gods-like beings but soon discovered that they were nothing but false-gods.
  • Reptiles Are Abhorrent:
  • Sadist:
  • Stealthy Colossus: Despite being the largest land predator that had ever walked the earth, the Indominus shows great stealth.
  • Taking You with Me: Inadvertently do this to Dearing. When the mosasaur grabs and crushes her hips, the Indominus closes her jaws on Dearing's arm and both are dragged underwater.
  • Tertiary Sexual Characteristics: She has eyelash-like scales above her eyes that gives her a feminine look. It's a subverted example though as those scales are an inheritance of the Eyelash Viper (Bothriechis schlegelli) and in this species, males also have the eyelash-like scales.
  • The Strategist: Is fully capable of establishing strategies and using tactics to defeat her enemies.
  • Tragic Villain:
  • Uncanny Valley: Her strange facial features have this effect on whoever look at her face. It's implied that it's because she has human DNA.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Is only indirectly responsible for the stampede in the reserve and the pterosaurs’ attack on Burroughs. Her real purpose as well as her involvement in the test that the Slayers conducts on the grey guards and some subsequent events ends up triggering a war between Nublar's grey guards and InGen Security.
    Roberta 
Jurassic World's mascot, an adult female Tyrannosaurus rex. Originally bred for Jurassic Park, she escaped during the 1993 incident and lived in a feral state during almost a decade, before being recaptured in 2002 by InGen Security to be integrated into the new park's collection.

See Jurassic Park for tropes specific to that film.

  • Little Role Big Impact: Her capture in the prologue allows the smaller feral carnivores species of Nublar to multiply, which leads several months later to the start of the Saurian Wars and the subsequent transformation of InGen Security from a simple corporate security branch into a paramilitary force. The same conflict also gave Hoskins ideas about militarised dinosaurs, idea which gave birth to the Indominus, one of the biggest players in the fall of Jurassic World.
  • Mascot: Of both Jurassic Park and Jurassic World.
  • The Millstone: Acted as this for Nublar's fragile ecosystem from 1993 to 2002. Once she was captured, it collapsed and the hungry carnivores turned towards humans.
  • Red Baron: When she was still feral, some liked to call her “The Queen in the North”.
    Ammut 
A spinosaur secretly cloned by InGen on Isla Sorna before Hurricane Clarissa. His skull now adorns Caer Draig’s great hall.

    Anzu 
A large oviraptorid dinosaur.
  • Feathered Fiend: Though they are omnivorous and not notable predators, Anzu is still a relatively large animal that can mortally wound an adult human with a single kick, like the Cassowary. The fiend part is however a bit downplayed as the male that Grady and Dearing encounter just seeks to protects his mate and content himself with leading her away once the two humans back down.
  • One-Scene Wonder: They only appears during one scene.
    Apatosaurus 
A diplodocid sauropod from the Late Jurassic.
  • Adaptational Badass: One of the Indominus' POV reveals that at least one Apatosaurus tended to not act like a victim but more like a bully, attacking her without any warning. In the 2015 film, apatosaurs were Gentle Giant and seemed to be placid enough for the Indominus to slaughter half a dozen of them in a relatively short span of time. Here, she kills only one of them.

    Dimorphodon 
A small pterosaur from the Early Jurassic.
  • Adaptational Wimp: In the 2015 film, the dimorphodons attacked the terrified visitors in Main Street along with the pteranodons. In this fic, they are animals much closer to their real-life counterparts and docile enough to be handled by park keepers during public presentations.
  • Demoted to Extra: Appears only during the Zoo visit and the Harpactognathus takes up the role they had in the film.
    Dryosaurus

Gallimimus can actually be quite big however (more than 6 meters in length and almost 3 meters in height) and one of them is able to knock down a horse and its rider that were on its way.
  • Herbivores Are Friendly: Inverted. They are omnivorous but coexist peacefully with the other herbivores of the Reserve. However, one "Gallimimus" knock a mounted guard down during the stampede.
    Geosternbergia 
A pteranodontid pterosaur. While individuals are housed in the Cartago Aviary on Isla Nublar, feral colonies exist in the Five Deaths archipelago.
    Giraffatitan 
A brachiosaurid sauropod.
  • Bus Crash: Last seen alive in Jurassic Park, the individuals of Isla Nublar died between 1993 and 2002, the year the prologue take place.

  • Herbivores Are Friendly: They are docile enough to be housed in the Children's Zoo but during their visit, Zach see two parents yelling after a keeper because their kid was supposedly hurt by one of the Kunbarrasaurus so it's a downplayed example.
  • Fun Size: The adults are only 3 meters long and 1.7 meters high.
    Mamenchisaurus 
A gigantic sauropod with a very long neck.
  • Advancing Wall of Doom: One serve as this and the Grey Guard try to stop it before it reach the Metriacanthosaurus paddock.
  • Animal Stampede: The Indominus make one of them panic and head straight towards the Metriacanthosaurus paddock while later, two other Mamenchisaurus are among the stampeding animals pursued by the loose Metriacanthosaurus pack.
  • The Big Guy: The biggest species featured in the story and one of the largest sauropods that had ever existed.
  • Gentle Giant: They are quite pacific and are more inclined to flee than to fight.
  • Herbivores Are Friendly: Subverted. They don't try to deliberately harm any of the human characters but due to their size, they prove to be very dangerous and nearly unstoppable if they panic. During the stampede caused by the escaped Metriacanthosaurus pack, one of the Mamenchisaurus trample a grey guard and his mount.
  • Killed Offscreen: As they were too big to be transported on the mainland during the operation Fallen Kingdom, InGen decided to kill them and incinerate their bodies to prevent rival companies from capturing them or getting genetic material.

  • Leeroy Jenkins: Two of the subadults attack Bucephalus, much to the adult female dismay.
  • Mercy Kill: Brunet thrust his saber in Philippe's heart to stop the sufferings induced by the poisoned arrow he got.
  • Mythology Gag:
    • Its name and DNA was seen in the first film as one of the samples Nedry stole (misspelled Metriacantasaurus).

  • Off with His Head!: One of their habits is to behead small preys. It’s how they kill Duncan Glenmore.
  • Put Into A Bus: After his defeat by Hamada and Brunet's platoon and the deaths of all his pack mates, Boomer disappear from the story.
  • Too Dumb to Live: Two of the subadults decide to attack a gigantic and angry bull hadrosaur. It goes as well as you expect.
    Mosasaurus 
A gigantic marine squamate from the Late Cretaceous. An adult female is the biggest attraction of Jurassic World's Oceanarium.

  • Non-Malicious Monster: Attack only out of hunger, curiosity or opportunism.
    Neoraptor 
The first dromaeosaurid species bred by InGen and one of their most dreaded creations as they are fast, cunning and very deadly predators. Once referred as "Velociraptors", they actually are a genetic hybrid of Achillobator giganticus and Deinonychus antirrhopus. Before the Achillobator pack, the IBRIS program involved several packs of this species but in 2013, an incident occured where one of the individuals attacked Owen Grady. Said individual, a female named Andromeda, was shot and the others neoraptors were transferred to the quarantine paddocks. Three subspecies are known: Neoraptor athertonii tigris, whose males are striped like tigers while the females are brown; Neoraptor athertonii iroquoii, the most bird-like of the three subspecies as the males sports a sagittal crest of feathers; and an hybrid subspecies of the first two.

  • It Can Think:
  • Mook:The Indominus recruits the individuals from the quarantine paddocks and incorporate them in her pack along with the proceratosaurs.
  • Raptor Attack: As the raptors that appeared in the original trilogy belong to this species, the neoraptors follows this trope as well.
  • Revenge Before Reason: Just like The Big One in the first Jurassic Park, some of the neoraptors becomes enraged when fellow pack members are harmed or killed. One of them, Cassandra, track Grady up to the other end of Burroughs to avenge her sister's death. She ends up killed by Blue just as she was about to pounce on him.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Two iroquoii indivuduals flees the palace after the grey guards launched their counter-attack. They don’t return when the Indominus calls for help later.
  • Super-Persistent Predator:
