Indoraptor

Indoraptor (インドラプトル), literally meaning Untamable Thief (手に負えない盗人), was a hybrid dinosaur created by Henry Wu in the basement lab of Lockwood Manor. He serves as the secondary antagonist of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. After his death, he reincarnated, and somehow became an adult when he settled down in the Raptor Gang.
== Background ==
=== Creation ===
The Indoraptor was created in a hidden laboratory in the Lockwood Manor by Dr. Henry Wu. He was a prototype as Wu was waiting to obtain Blue's blood to finalize the genome of the creature, and breed a more streamlined version of him. He was created as a weapon and was shown to attack on command through visual and audio frequency, which drove him into a frenzied state. This usage would be seen again in Jurassic World: Dominion, with the four Atrociraptors.
However, due to being a prototype, he lacked any of the positive characteristics Wu wanted to create in him: He lacked an ability to follow orders other than his conditioning to visual and audio cues, and lacked any of the positive personality traits seen in Blue, such as her ability to show empathy and bond with a trainer or handler. As such, Blue was a required part of the finalized Indoraptor design, as she was needed to act not only as the DNA source, but also as the mother figure for the next generation of The Indoraptor's to imprint on and learn positive behavior from.
=== Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom ===
When Maisie Lockwood snuck into the laboratory sub-level where Dr. Wu and Eli Mills were conversing over the Indoraptor's faults, Maisie hid in a darkened hallway near the Indoraptor's cage, unknowingly getting too close with her back to the hybrid's enclosure. She did not see the Indoraptor reach out to try and grab her, and was only alerted when one of his claws brushed her ponytail, causing her to run away screaming, leading to her being caught and confined to her room by Mills.
The Indoraptor was the last dinosaur presented during the Lockwood Manor Auction. He was introduced to a crowd of wealthy people who came from all over the world to buy the dinosaurs who were evacuated from Isla Nublar, and was described by Gunnar Eversoll as being a creature of the future made from pieces of the past, and a perfect blend of the two most dangerous creatures to have ever walked the Earth. Eversoll explained that the Indoraptor was created by Henry Wu and had an intelligence quotient comparable to that of a Velociraptor and that its characteristics included having a heightened sense of smell and was trained to respond to a pulse-coded laser targeting system that would enable it to track and kill prey in complex environments. This targeting system was demonstrated on one of the bidders, causing the Indoraptor to fruitlessly attempt to attack the bidder from his cage. The audience started bidding tremendous amounts of money on the hybrid dinosaur, and despite Eversoll stating that the Indoraptor was only in his prototype stage and was not yet for sale, he eventually changed his mind when one the bidders in the audience bidded 23 million dollars. As a result, Eversoll accepted bids at the behest of Mills, with Russian mobster Anton Orlov winning the bid. Wu rushed over to Eversoll and Milis and protested about them selling the Indoraptor as he was only a prototype, but Millis ensured to Wu that selling the dinosaur was okay as they eventually create more Indoraptors. Owen Grady then showed up with a Stygimoloch and together they caused havoc and managed to chase away the bidders to stop the auction, while Owen and the Indoraptor shared a close glance at each another.
After the failed auction, only Ken Wheatley was left who witnessed the Indoraptor and attempted to sedate the dinosaur by shooting him twice with tranquilizer darts, causing him to fall over, seemingly incapacitated. Wheatley then entered his cage with the plan of taking one of his teeth for his collection. Unbeknownst to him, the Indoraptor was actually pretending to be tranquilized, and remained motionless for a brief time as Wheatley tried to remove one of the Indoraptor's teeth with a pincer. He then proceeded to bite Wheatley's arm and lifted him up the air, and then bit his arm off and ate it. He slowly approached the terified Wheatley and let out a loud roar before mauling him to death. Gunnar Eversoll, who was still hiding from the Stygimoloch that attacked him and the bidders from the auction, witnessed the Indoraptor killing Wheatley and quietly ran to a nearby elevator to hide from the hybrid dinosaur. He saw four attendees from the auction who were also hiding from the Indoraptor and pushed aside one of them to close the elevator's doors. The woman who was pushed aside by Eversoll screamed in horror upon seeing the Indoraptor, which attracted the rogue dinosaur's attention. He escaped his cage and rushed towards Eversoll and the other people in the elevator in hopes of killing them, but the elevators doors closed before he could enter,, causing Eversoll to sigh out of relief. However, the Indoraptor unintentionally smacked his tail on the elevator's control panel, causing the elevator's doors to open again. The Indoraptor entered the elevator and roared at Eversoll before killing him and the other attendees off-screen.
Moments later, the Indoraptor suddenly attacked and killed two of Mills' guards, much to the horror of Claire Dearing, Owen Grady, and Maisie Lockwood. Owen, Claire and Maisie escaped and tried to take refuge on the main floor of the Lockwood Manor and noticed a human corpse near the skeleton of a Ceratopsian dinosaur. Suddenly, the corpse was dragged away by a creature on the other side of the ceratopsian dinosaur's skeleton, leading them to realize that the Indoraptor was nearby. The Indoraptor climbed on top of the dinosaur skeleton's skull and didn't notice Owen, Claire, and Maisie hiding underneath him until a nearby walkie-talkie went off. He jumped off the fossilized skeleton and pursued the three humans, and tried to reach them up a spiraling staircase before the three escape into a power supply room, where Owen turned off the entire mansion's power supply. The Indoraptor pursued Maisie as she ran towards her bedroom. He then climbed into her room through the window and was about to snatch her from her bed when Owen shows up, armed with a gun he'd taken from a dead mercenary. He fired two rounds at the dinosaur but it doesn't do much, bar stunning him for a brief time. As he approached Owen, ready to attack, Blue arrived and assaulted him, keeping him occupied while Owen and Maisie escaped through the window.
The Indoraptor pushed Blue out the window, with the two being separated from their fight, before cornering Owen and Maisie on the roof. Claire arrived behind it and pointed the laser gun at Owen, prompting him to attack, in an attempt to get him to fall through weakened glass. He nearly fell through the glass roof, but managed to haul himself back up and recovered.
The Indoraptor then moves to lunge towards Owen when Blue arrives once more and resumed her attack, with both tumbling through the glass in a deadlock grapple. Once they landed, the Indoraptor gets impaled by the brow horns of a Agujaceratops skull and perished within seconds. Blue sprints away, triumphant, with the body of the hybrid being left behind on the ceratopsian skull.
It is unknown what happened with the hybrid’s body, but he was most likely disposed of, alongside the technology to create more Indoraptor's in the fallout of his escape.
=== Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous ===
In season three episodes, "Whatever it Takes" and "Stay on Mission" Dr. Wu returns to the island to retrieve his laptop filled with the information to create the Indoraptor, along with a sample from the Indominus rex to start the process.
While having a conversation with Brooklynn, she mentions how his creations are monsters because they are dangerous and his lack of empathy for their victims. This could have been the motivation to use Blue's genome to perfect the Indoraptor.
== Personality ==
Like his predecessor, the Indominus rex, the Indoraptor was cunning and sadistic. He killed for pleasure as much or even more than for food, and he enjoyed toying with his prey before delivering the killing blow. However, the Indoraptor could be considered more sympathetic as, unlike the Indominus rex, who was neglected and had only the feeding crane to form a positive relationship with, The Indoraptor was outright abused throughout his life in order to enhance his killing instincts. This may indicate that the Indoraptor killed not for sport, but because it had been conditioned to do so.
== Appearance ==
The Indoraptor is very similar in appearance to the Indominus rex, but his body length is about half of that of his predecessor. He sports talons that are similar to those of a Velociraptor, and his color is primarily black with a golden-yellow streak running from the base of the neck to his tail, which bears strong resemblance to Blue's metallic blue streak. Like the Indominus rex, the Indoraptor possesses hands with four fingers, an opposable thumb and three main digits. The shape of his head bears a resemblance to that of a Tyrannosaurus rex, and he has a sprinkled red mark around his eye orbit. The skin around the Indoraptor's mouth is flaky and peeling away in some areas and is also sickly-looking, with ragged teeth similar to those of the Indominus rex. His head also bears two crests above his eyes, similar to that of an Allosaurus, although a little smaller. He is typically shown walking in a quadrupedal stance, though he can stand, walk, and run bipedally on occasion, which gives him an intimidating look that towers over his prey.
== Abilities ==
=== Agility and Speed ===
The Indoraptor is agile and can catch preys at a high speed.
=== Bite Power ===
The Indoraptor's bite is strong, surpassing those of Blue, the T-rex, and even the Indominus Rex.
=== Claw Power ===
The Indoraptor's claws are strong enough to rip an animal apart, surpassing those of Blue, the T-rex, and even the Indominus Rex. He has claws on his fingers and toes as well.
=== Intelligence ===
As an intelligent predator he is able to overpower Blue multiple times until her defeat at the horns at the Agujaceratops skull. He also managed to dominate dire situations. 
== Part XIII ==
After his death, he reincarnated, and somehow became an adult when he settled down in the Raptor Gang.
== Trivia ==
* The Indoraptor was the first confirmed male dinosaur in the Jurassic Park franchise.
* Up until the Scorpios rex was revealed as the dinosaur for the E750 project, a major portion of Camp Cretaceous fans believed that the E750 creature was a prototype version of the Indoraptor, which was now proven false.
* Although the name The Indoraptor in the film means 'Untamable Thief' but in real life without a shorter form for Indomitable, it means 'Untame Thief'. Also in reality The Indoraptor would've meant "Indian Thief" as looking at Indian dinosaurs such as Indosuchus and Indosaurus share this in their name meaning.
* The Indoraptor is the second dinosaur hybrid to be featured in the film canon, with the Indominus rex coming first and E750, better known as the Scorpius rex, coming third (with E750 technically coming before the Indoraptor in the film timeline).
* The animatronic for The Indoraptor reveal skin peeling away and a sickly looking mouth. Colin Trevorrow hints that the The Indoraptor may be mentally unstable or even sick throughout his appearance in the movie.
* The sounds of the Indoraptor were made from vocalizations from animals and an inanimate one such as a chihuahua, a dental drill, a lion, a pig, and a cougar.
* In concept art images of The Indoraptor, it shows him being tased inside his cage, revealing that the hybrid was originally supposed to be shown as an abused animal with several scars littering its body. The abuse was hinted at in the film, as he is tased multiple times during the auction scene by the guards. This could also explain how whenever the hybrid is about to harm its prey, it smiles due to the men smiling while tasing it inside its cage.
* In a deleted introduction of The Indoraptor, which was implied in the Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Junior Novelization, the dinosaur would have been shown to be playing with the skeletal remains, mainly the skull, of a repair worker who it killed when it tricked him into coming inside his cage when it purposefully broke the light bulb inside. However, this scene was scrapped for unknown reasons.
* Originally, there were going to be another Indoraptor; a white one, and the one seen in the movie. However, the Indoraptor pictured in the movie was going to fight and kill the white one, which is shown in concept art of the creature. However, this scene, and the The Indoraptor altogether, was scrapped for unknown reasons.
* It was later confirmed by Colin Trevorrow that there will be no hybrids in Jurassic World: Dominion.
* Colin Trevorrow confirmed that the DNA makeup of The Indoraptor does not include any human DNA.
* The Indoraptor is inspired by some of most well-known monsters of the horror genre and share several similarities:
** It is created in a laboratory using “parts” of different entities like Frankenstein's Monster.
** It runs on all fours and howls at a full moon like a werewolf.
** His behavior is akin to a very intelligent attack dog who kills children, and coupled with his mental instability, he can be argued as a more evil homage to Cujo.
** It prowls in the darkness and is killed via impalement like a vampire.
*** The vampire Count Orlok from the 1922 film Nosferatu is used as a reference for the teeth and the limbs of the Indoraptor, as well as the obsession with a girl all throughout the night.
*** J.A. Bayona himself stated that the scene where The Indoraptor crawls down from the rooftop and into Maisie's bedroom is an homage to John Badham's 1979 Dracula film that starred Frank Langella.
* According to certain concepts, it appears The Indoraptor was supposed to escape Lockwood Manor, attack the lighthouse, and engage in a car chase with Blue.
* By killing Wheatley, Indoraptor became the first villain in the franchise who's confirmed to kill another villain with his bare hands.
* The Spinosaurus, the Indoraptor, and Toro are the only three main dinosaur antagonists confirmed to be males.
* The Indoraptor was the only one of Dr. Wu's hybrids who never met Rexy.
* He and the Scorpios rexes are the only antagonists who weren't killed by Rexy's actions.
* Despite being derived from the Indominus rex, the Indoraptor did not seem to inherit the former's genetically modified abilities, such as camouflaging and thermoregulation.
* The Indoraptor being Blue’s offspring is confirmed false, as the Indoraptor was still a prototype, and Blue’s blood was required for the final piece of the Indoraptor, and he was killed before any of that happened.
