Peter Ludlow

**Peter Ludlow is a major antagonist of the Jurassic Park-franchise and the Jurassic World-trilogy.**

**He is a major antagonist of the movie-franchise; serving as the main antagonist of the 1997-movie Jurassic Park: The Lost World, as a posthumous antagonist of it's 2001-sequel Jurassic Park III and as a posthumous antagonist for the rest of the franchise.**

**Ludlow, despite being the primary antagonist of the movie-version of the Lost World, is one of the lesser evil villains of the franchise and is even an anti-hero. He is in fact affably evil, honorable, incompetent, a scapegoat, a comic-relief and not even close to pure evil. Despite this however, Ludlow was greedy and power-hungry but respects the main protagonist of the movie, Ian Malcolm, and his team, and was never willing to kill the team. The movies' secondary antagonist, the sadist Dieter Stark, was far worse than Ludlow despite being just the secondary antagonist of the movie.**

**The villain and antagonist of the book-version of the Lost World, Lewis Dodgson, is far more dangerous than Ludlow and also way worse than even Dieter Stark, and Dodgson is also the main antagonist of the entire franchise and also the most evil character of all. Still, Ludlow is one of the most hated characters of the franchise.**

**Peter Ludlow is very close to the book-version of John Hammond, and is the CEO and so the leader of the organisation InGen after the dead of the movie-version of John Hammond portrayed by actor Richard Attenborough. Ludlow also is the nephew of the movie-version of Hammond. Like Hammond, Ludlow was willing to start a park full of dinosaurs in San Diego in North-America, but Ludlow is surely more evil than Hammond's movie-version and was even willing to kidnap dinosaurs with the help of Roland Tembo and Dieter Stark and the rest of his team, and was a poacher.**

**He is portrayed by actor Arliss Howard in his first villainous role.**

Type of Villain:

Affable Greedy Businessman.

**.Ludlow was one of the five villains of the franchise who was not even close to pure evil, the other being Billy Brennan, the secondary antagonist and main human-antagonist of Jurassic Park III while the Spinosaurus serves as the main antagonist of Jurassic Park III, Roland Tembo, Ramsey Cole and Nick Van Owen. Nick Van Owen is a character from the movie-version of The Lost World just like Ludlow and Tembo. Nick Van Owen is arguably the most controversial protagonist of the Jurassic Park-franchise, even more so than Billy Brennan and Dr. Henry Wu.**

**.He is so far the first human in the franchise who is the main antagonist of a movie, but not the only because Lewis Dodgson is the main villain of Jurassic World Dominion.**

**.Due the fact Ludlow kidnaps a young Tyrannosaurus Rex with help of his right-hand Roland Tembo who's a former major antagonist of the movie but later an anti-hero just like Ludlow himself, Ludlow was killed by the juvenile T. Rex named Junior on the orders of his parents! Ludlow's dead was so far one of the most gruesome deads of the entire franchise.**

**.Peter Ludlow has a comic-counterpart who is far worse and way more evil than the movie-version and Faux Affably Evil, far lesser of an anti-villain or anti-hero, close to pure evil and dishonorable all unlike his movie-counterpart. See Peter Ludlow (IDW) for the comic-version. The comic is called Jurassic Park: Redemption.**

**.While Ludlow is indeed the main antagonist of the movie-version of Jurassic Park: The Lost World, Lewis Dodgson, the main antagonist of the entire franchise and the main antagonist of the book-version of The Lost World, is far more dangerous and evil than Ludlow. It's unknown why Dodgson is rejected as the main antagonist of the movie as well and is replaced by Ludlow.**
