Beta (ベータ), nicknamed as **Blue II** (青２世), is a juvenile Velociraptor and the offspring of Blue, who makes her debut in Jurassic World: Dominion. Henry Wu explains that Beta was born asexually due to the monitor lizard DNA in Blue's genetic makeup. 25-29 years after Beta's birth, sisters Delta II, Echo II and Charlie II are born.

## Background

### Jurassic World: Dominion

Beta was born sometime in the four years after the 2018 Dinosaur Outbreak. She lived in the wilderness with her mother in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, not far from the cabin owned by Owen Grady, Claire Dearing, and Maisie Lockwood. During this time, they made their nest in an abandoned school bus.

Beta first appears when her mother collects her from the nest to take her on a hunting trip. Stalking a snowshoe hare, they are surprised when a wolf ambushes their quarry, but Beta, enraged by her prey drive, attacks and kills the wolf. Following that, two nearby hunters were watching and take a shot at Beta. Though missing, Blue reacts protectively and kills both hunters.

Later, Beta wanders onto Owen's property where Maisie attempts to make friends with her by giving her some toast before an agitated Blue shows up, none too pleased by her daughter or Maisie's actions. Owen manages to calm his old friend, who runs off into the woods with Beta. Later, Blue gave her daughter a fox to eat. However, they are ambushed by poachers led by Rainn Delacourt who kidnap Maisie and Beta and run Blue off of the road, knocking her down a steep hill. Though Owen attempts to pursue Rainn's men, he is thwarted and returns to the cabin to alert Claire of the situation. Enraged by her daughter's kidnapping, Blue returns to Owen's home where he recognizes that she could potentially kill them in her agitated state, with Blue even slapping down and wounding his outstretched hand at one point. Nonetheless, Owen manages to calm Blue down again and promises his friend that he will bring Beta back to her before Blue runs off again.

Beta was then transferred to Biosyn's headquarters in the Dolomite Mountains via a transfer plane in Malta, where she is held captive in Henry Wu's laboratory by Lewis Dodgson. When Maisie inquires why she was brought to Biosyn, she learns that in order to understand the pathogen used to save Maisie from the same genetic disorder her mother died from, they needed to examine both her and Beta, which Wu intends to use to kill the genetically modified giant locusts Dodgson made him create to destroy crops not made by Biosyn. After learning this, Maisie releases Beta, who causes havoc and knocks over the lab equipment before escaping into the lab's server rooms.

Beta remains in hiding throughout this time and the chaos of Dodgson's attempt to burn the locusts and destroy the evidence to his crimes, which causes a forest fire and evacuation of the staff and dinosaurs in the sanctuary there, until Owen, Maisie, and Alan Grant come to find her. Agitated and scared, Beta tries to attack them, but Maisie, utilizing Owen's training, uses her adoptive father's techniques to keep Beta's attention with Alan's help until Owen tranquilizes her. They then carry the unconscious Beta out, strapped to Owen's back, where she remains until they escape Biosyn via helicopter.

After a repentant Dr. Wu takes a sample of Beta's blood and Maisie's to stop the locusts, Beta is returned home to Blue. Reunited with her mother, she saids goodbye to Maisie as she acknowledged her as her first human friend and runs off into the wilderness with her mother. However, Beta had to wait as her mother briefly return to say goodbye to Owen. The two raptors leave and are both free at last.

## Personality

Beta is a naughty baby velociraptor. She likes hunting as seen with her reaction after a wolf killed a rabbit which Beta intended to hunt down.

## Appearance

About the size of the real life Velociraptor, Beta looks and supposedly acts like a younger and smaller version of her mother, Blue. Her snout is stubbier than her adult parent, and she has slightly bigger eyes. She has a chipped sickle claw on her right foot.

Beta makes a loud, yapping noise akin to puppy.

## Abilities

### Hunting

As a juvenile Beta is capable of hunting animals, killing a wolf after it stole Beta's kill on the rabbit.

### Claw Power

Beta is capable of scratching preys with her claws.

## Part XIII

When Raptor Gang was introduced Beta was among those seen in the gang. Prior to the events of Part XIII Blue and Beta settled down in Nana Country eventually.
