“The base genome is a T. rex… the rest is classified.”
— Claire Dearing
The Indominus rex is a genetically engineered hybrid dinosaur and one of the primary antagonists of the Jurassic World franchise. In the first Jurassic World film, she was introduced as the park’s newest attraction, created to boost attendance and maximize profits. While publicly presented as the future of dinosaur entertainment, the Indominus was ultimately revealed to be part of a secret military initiative exploring the use of genetically engineered dinosaurs as weapons.
The hybrid was created by combining the genome of a Tyrannosaurus rex with DNA from numerous other theropods and prehistoric creatures. Known contributors include Velociraptor, Carnotaurus, Giganotosaurus, Majungasaurus, Rugops, Pycnonemosaurus, Quilmesaurus, Viavenator, Deinosuchus, and Therizinosaurus. Additional genetic material from modern animals—including the cuttlefish, tree frog, and pit viper—gave the Indominus extraordinary abilities such as camouflage, thermal regulation, and enhanced intelligence.
CG supervisor and artist Steve Jubinville led the development of the Indominus rex digital model, refining the original maquette sculpted by Kris Costa to meet director Colin Trevorrow’s vision. During production, Jubinville assembled an extensive reference library of reptiles, birds, and other animals to create the creature’s distinctive appearance. Martin Murphy developed the complex scale patterns using MARI by The Foundry, working closely with Jubinville to complete the final 3D model.
Following the tremendous success of Jurassic World, Universal Studios commissioned a full-size, mechanically controlled Indominus rex for its Jurassic World theme park attractions. ILM artist Bitan and Steve Jubinville served as key artists on the project.
Elite Creature Collectibles is proud to present the Indominus rex – 1/12 Scale Maquette from Jurassic World. ILM artist Bitan has faithfully recreated the terrifying hybrid as seen in the film, placing her within the iconic ruins of the original Jurassic Park Visitor Center. The paint master was meticulously hand-painted by ECC key artist Oskar Ankarudd. Rich with screen-accurate detail, this museum-quality maquette reveals textures, anatomy, and sculptural nuances that were impossible to fully appreciate on the silver screen.
