History[]
Late Cretaceous Period[]
65 million years ago, during the late Cretaceous period, a feathered Tyrannosaurus rex (Rexy's ancestor) came face to face with a Giganotosaurus. They engaged in a vicious duel, but eventually the Giganotosaurus emerged victorious.
As the Tyrannosaurus died, a mosquito bit the dinosaur, leaving the DNA of the prehistoric predator to be found by InGen in the future. InGen would use the genetic material found within the mosquito to clone the species back into existence.
Creation[]
Rexy was born in 1988, inside the InGen Compound of Isla Sorna (Site B), along with another Tyrannosaurus. It was at this compound where Roberta spent the first few months of her life inside the lab being taken care of by her handlers before she was transported to Isla Nublar to live in the Tyrannosaurus Paddock as an attraction for Jurassic Park.
Origin[]
Intended to be the star attraction of John Hammond's vision for the original Jurassic Park, Rexy escaped from her enclosure during the 1993 Isla Nublar Incident. Once having killed a pack of Velociaptors following a few encounters with the human survivors, Rexy was left the queen and apex predator of Isla Nublar. Almost a decade later, she was eventually captured and placed in captivity for Jurassic World on Nublar, residing in T. rex Kingdom. During the 2015 Jurassic World Incident, she was released from her paddock and aided in the defeat of the Indominus rex via fighting the hybrid. Following that, she had a few run ins with the Nublar Six. Three years later, she too was threatened during the volcanic eruption of Mount Sibo. Before the eruption, Rexy (among many dinosaurs) was brought off the island and to the mainland in North America to be auctioned off at the Lockwood Manor. Along with other dinosaurs, Rexy ended up being released into the wild.
After four years of being chased by DFW, Rexy was finally captured yet again and brought to Biosyn. There, she came into periodic conflict with the apex predator, the Giganotosaurus. During the Biosyn Incident, Rexy battled the Giganotosaurus for the last time. With help from a Therizinosaurus, Rexy finally defeated her rival and once again became the apex predator. Soon after, she was joined by others of her kind and gained a family in the Biosyn Sanctuary.
Jurassic Park[]
When the inspection team constituting of vertebrate paleontologist Dr. Alan Grant, paleobotanist Dr. Ellie Sattler, chaotician Dr. Ian Malcolm, lawyer Donald Gennaro, and John Hammond’s grandchildren Lex Murphy and Tim Murphy took a tour of the Park, the Tyrannosaurus was initially a no-show. Although computer technician Ray Arnold attempted to lure her to her paddock fence by tantalizing her with a goat, however, Roberta still refused to answer the call.
Later that night, a tropical storm forced the tour to be turned around sometime after the group visited the Triceratops Paddock. Unfortunately, due to Dennis Nedry’s tampering with the programming, the tour vehicles that the tour group was in, shut down in front of the paddock with its electrified fencing also shut down. Tim then observed water in a cup having rhythmic ripples caused by Roberta walking close by, Tim then noticed the goat was gone, at which point Lex asked: “Where’s the goat?” Roberta then revealed herself to the visitors by ripping apart the goat left by the fence as bait. Gennaro, in a fit of panic, left his tour car and ran to the nearby restroom hut for refuge. By that point, the Tyrannosaurus moved to the disabled fencing and ripped the fencing apart with her teeth, she proceeded to step through her mangled handy work. After a minute or two of exploring and investigating the Explorers, her attention was aroused by the light that was emitted from a flashlight Lex had activated on accident in the front Explorer. Unaware that the source of the light was inside the car, she walked to the front door Gennaro left open and peered into the front doors of the SUV. It was not until Tim slammed the open door shut next to the T. rex that she had discovered the source of the light.
Now confident that the light was coming from inside the Explorer and that there were interesting objects inside, she set to attacking the mysterious vehicle in front of her, searching for a way to get at Lex and Tim. Thanks to the efforts of Dr. Grant and Dr. Malcolm, the T. rex was briefly distracted. Roberta followed fleeing Dr. Malcolm toward the Tyrannosaurus Paddock Bathroom, injured him as he was flung into the building, she then found and ripped apart the cowering Gennaro while Dr. Grant rescued Lex from inside the car, not long after freeing Lex, Roberta returned and pushed the vehicle over the cliff while Tim was still inside. After Dr. Grant rescued Tim from the tree, the two with Lex, began their trek back to the Visitors Center, Park game warden Robert Muldoon and Dr. Sattler arrived at the Tyrannosaurus Paddock to retrieve those who had been stranded there only to find Roberta's mess. Acting quickly, the two began searching for the group and calling out their names. At the site of the collapsed restroom hut, Muldoon and Dr. Sattler found the remains of Donald Genarro and recovered Dr. Malcolm who was quite injured, but alive due to his quick thinking to reduce blood loss by using his belt as a tourniquet. After loading Dr. Malcolm into their Jeep, the two took one last sweep of the area, Dr. Sattler spotted the ruined hulk of the second tour car that Roberta had pushed over the cliff adjacent to her Paddock. Although Muldoon and Dr. Sattler did not find Tim, Lex, or Dr. Grant, they did find their shoe prints in the mud, which told them that they were indeed alive. While the two were gone, Dr. Malcolm observed the water in Roberta’s footprints having rhythmic ripples, announcing her close presence. When the two returned to the Jeep, Roberta crashed through a line of trees and began chasing the three along a service road. After a very close chase, the Tyrannosaurus was unable to chase down her prey and gave up her pursuit.
Later, she returned when Dr. Gerry Harding, Jess, and Nima Cruz reached the Visitors Center. While the humans were inside, Dr. Harding spoke with Dr. Laura Sorkin over the radio, who helped cure Nima of her ailment caused by a Troodon bite. Roberta attacked once again, forcing the trio to avoid her as best they could while Gerry tried to stop Nima from shaking and Jess used the center's pillars to stay hidden. To get the Tyrannosaurus' attention, Gerry dropped a box that hit Roberta on the back. Jess grabbed the tranquilizer darts and ran upstairs to help Gerry where they healed Nima. Roberta proceeded to follow Jess up the stairs, but at the last second, the staircase collapsed, causing her to fall and crash to the floor. When Roberta regained balance, the vibration of her feet caused Jess to fall while the trio was escaped just outside on the roof.
Even though Jess caught a ledge preventing her falling, she soon lost her grip and fell further down, now hanging onto the door frame. Dr. Harding came down from the roof to help her though soon Roberta charged through the doors, knocking Dr. Harding back. The predator then snapped at Jessica as she dangled from the door frame. As Dr. Harding grabbed his tranquilizer gun, Jessica finally lost balance and landed on top of Roberta's snout, which prompted the Tyrannosaur to shake Jess off. Nima, fully recovered now, tossed the tranq darts to Dr. Harding who shot Roberta in the face three times, saving Jess from potentially being eaten. However, her retaliation was quick and she soon charged through the door frame, destroying it. Roberta then proceeded to attack the tour vehicle that the Hardings were behind using as shelter. The T. rex's attack on the Hardings finally came to an end when Dr. Harding told Dr. Sorkin to start the tour vehicle, which distracted Roberta.
After a second mercenary team landed on the island to rescue those who had been left behind and retrieved the survivors, the group headed back to the helicopter, but found that the mercenary Daniel Cafaro had disappeared. Roberta reappeared and made her way towards them, forcing Oscar Morales to fix the chopper himself. She finally reached them just as they managed to get the helicopter working again. As the helicopter was taking off, Roberta nudged it, causing the aircraft to swerve, but Yoder ultimately piloted the helicopter to safety and evaded the dinosaur.
After Jess helped Dr. Sorkin in the Parasaurolophus Enclosure, Nima got into a fight with Billy Yoder, who was sitting in a tree, Roberta appeared again, chasing a juvenile Parasaurolophus, but then Yoder almost fell, although he grabbed a branch in order to save himself. The T. rex, having noticed this, picked up a piece of helicopter wreckage with her jaws, and launched it at Yoder in an attempt to knock him out of the tree. Yoder let go at the last second and landed hard on the forest floor. Then he and Nima began to run away from Roberta as she catches up to them towards the Parasaur Paddock. Inside, Roberta became distracted with a Parasaurolophus carcass and briefly during the feeding killed a Velociraptor that had been eating the carcass as well when it attempted to escape. Yoder immediately returned to the paddock to retrieve the Barbasol can he had dropped when he was in the enclosure, thinking that Roberta would be too distracted with the freshly killed Parasaur carcass. But just as he was about to pick it up, his nervous movements caught the Tyrannosaurus's attention. At that very moment, Yoder then attempted to be nice, and tried to sweet talk his way out of being eaten. Realizing this wouldn't work, he grabbed the embryos and ran. When Roberta was just about to kill him, Nima shut the door to the Maintenance Tunnels in the large dinosaur's face.
Sometime later, Roberta confronted the group one last time during the conflict between Nima and Billy. She stalked into the shipping yard, forcing all four of the humans to freeze in their positions. The T. rex started to sniff at Jess when her father gently nudged the cryocan with his foot, causing it to roll toward the dock’s edge. In a momentary lapse of judgment, Yoder scrambled to save the can before it fell into the water. Although he had saved the can, he had caught the attention of the large theropod, who growls behind Yoder. Roberta only hesitated for a brief moment before she engulfed the man with her jaws and lifted him in the air to consume him, causing Yoder to drop the can. With the T. rex's back turned to them and Nima racing to retrieve the can, the Hardings followed closely behind. Roberta was alerted by the movement behind her and chased after them. Nima and Jess squeezed into shelter while Dr. Harding was left outside.
Dr. Harding then attempted to distract Roberta in order to keep her attention away from the two ladies. The T. rex damaged the bridge platform the pair was standing on, flinging Jess over the edge. Jess managed to keep herself from falling off the bridge together but was dangling mere feet from the T. rex. She pleaded for Nima’s help and was saved from the jaws of the predator at the expense of the cryocan that was crushed under Roberta's foot. Dr. Harding, while the dinosaur had turned to face Nima and Jess, grabbed a steel pipe. He swung the pipe against Roberta's leg, successfully gaining her undivided attention and allowing his companions to escape to the last remaining boat at the end of the docks. Dr. Harding scrambled through the container yard with Roberta catching up in pursuit. Dr. Harding eventually found cover inside a cage, although Roberta could not reach the man with her jaws due to the small opening at the end that was suited for caging smaller dinosaurs. Frustrated, she thrashed about and finally flung the cage toward the pier that the small boat was located.
She is first seen when Larry opens the gate, and Rexy comes out. Claire leads her to the Indominus Rex, and the two battle each other. She, at first, gains the upper hand, but the Indominus quicky overpowers her and throws her to the ground, however, just as she is about rip her neck open, Blue quicky sprints to the screen, scratching and bitting her back. This allows Rexy to get back up and battle the Indominus, and smashes her into several building. She then headbuttts her near the Jurassic World Lagoon, where the overgrown Mosasaurus, Mosy, resides. After the battle, Rexy and Blue roar at the I. rex. The I. rex roars back, but she grabbed by Mosy, who drags to her into the bottom of the lagoon and kills her there, saving the park. Rexy thanks Blue through her snorts for saving her life, and walks off, and Blue follows.
At the end of the first film, Rexy stomps onto the helicoper base, and roars a victory.
Three years after the destruction of Jurassic World, the T. rex appears at the former theme park after having sensed a disturbance in her territory. A group of men have entered the lagoon in an attempt to retrieve a DNA sample from the Indominus rex skeleton lying at the bottom. She ambushes a worker in a yellow raincoat who is controlling the gate to the exhibit with a remote. As she is chasing him towards a helicopter, she steps on the remote which stops the gate from closing all the way, allowing the Mosasaurus to escape into the ocean.
She then tries to pull the helicopter down by the ladder, but the ladder breaks and she is left holding a piece of it as the chopper flies away. She roars in anger just as the Mosasaurus leaps from the ocean, grabbing the man in the yellow rain coat who is still clinging to what was left of the ladder. The rest of the men get away with the I-Rex sample. Roberta appears again when Owen, Claire and Franklin are fleeing from the erupting volcano after being left to die by the mercenaries. The group finds a Gyrosphere but before Owen gets in, a Carnotaurus appears. Just as it is about to lunge at Owen, the T. rex lunges and throws the Carnotaurus down, roaring triumphantly as the volcano erupts behind her. She then runs off, fleeing with the rest of the dinosaurs.
After escaping the Gyrosphere underwater, Owen, Claire and Franklin briefly see the T. rex being carried onto the ship along with several other dinosaurs, including Blue. The trio sneak on board as the ship is leaving and locate Blue, who will need a blood transfusion to survive after being shot in a recent confrontation. Claire and Owen sneak into the cage holdig the sedated Tyrannosaur to take her blood, as she is the most similar animal on board to Blue and therefore the safest bet to donate blood. The T. rex is asleep, however she moves her head against Owen making retrieving her blood difficult. Claire has to climb on her back to reach the vein. During the process, some workers notice the door to the Tyrannosaur's cage is open, and shuts it, trapping Owen and Claire inside with her.
Moments later, the T. rex wakes up and begins thrashing around. Claire manages to slip through the bars on the top of the cage and opens the door to free Owen. The T. rex is still thrashing about, and Owen is trapped. He leaps through the T. rex's mouth seconds before her jaws snap shut, and they duo lock her in, leaving her roaring angrily and trying to escape. Luckily Claire managed to get the blood out and they are able to save Blue. Later, Owen and Claire are captured, and the Tyrannosaurus rex is seen being ushered into a holding pen barely big enough for her to stand. She is fed a goat on the way to the basement of the Lockwood mansion where all the dinosaurs are being held in preparation for auction.
Later, Rexy (possibly now the true apex predator) is briefly seen at the BioSyn sanctuary standing alongside two other Tyrannosaurs, finally finding a family of his own. However, it is revealed that the two Tyrannosaurs turn out to be none other than the Buck and Doe from Isla Sorna.
Personality[]
Like any Tyrannosaurus and other theropods, Rexy is portrayed as being animalistic such as behaving like an ordinary Tyrannosaurus who relies solely on his predatory instincts to survive and possesses intelligence comparable to those of ordinary tyrannosaurs. However, he is seen to be curious particularly towards bright flashing lights (flares, flashlights, etc.). Although being already a carnivore, Rexy is understandably bad tempered. At one point, he crushes one of the tour vehicles believing it to be an enemy and later pushes it to the ledge to eliminate those that trespass on his territory. Even though he was born with a genetic defect where his vision is based on movement, Rexy is able to sense potential prey or enemies despite their best efforts to hide and he has seen to be creative in flushing them out.
After the downfall of Jurassic Park, Rexy had been the king of the island for many years before she was finally captured and placed into a paddock for Jurassic World. His time in captivity and his advancing age has tempered much of his old behavior, seemingly content feeding on the goats he was provided. When the Indominus rex was unleashed upon Jurassic World, Claire Dearing released Rexy to combat the hybrid, showing to those present including the Indominus rex that he is a force of nature that should not be messed with.
It's heavily implied that Rexy is proved to be very intelligent enough to allow him to be able to be creative as mentioned earlier. Other evidence in the later films show that he is able to cooperate when certain situations arises, such as working together with Blue as a perfect team to end the threat of the Indominus rex. Rexy might have even formed fondness to those that help her. Though harmed by Velociraptors in 1993, Rexy sees Blue is different from his kind and went away thankful, but spares she rather than killing Blue.
Physical Appearance[]
Rexy is depicted as a large 13.5-meter-long (44.3 feet) and 5.2-meter-tall (17 feet) adult female Tyrannosaurus rex with a dull gray and brown color scheme with degradation color zone running down her neck, back and tail. In the first film, she appears to be quite robust and muscular, though her appearance in the fourth and fifth films has changed noticeably, with the stripes on her back having become very faint, his skin tightening, the shape of her head morphing with age and his body becoming thinner. However, he somehow regained mass after Jurassic World's downfall, becoming more robust by 2018.
Rexy displays scars all over her face and body, most notably three large gashes running down the right side of her neck that she received during a fight with two Velociraptors in 1993, making her easily recognizable.
Trivia[]
- Her nickname "Rexy" has become a popular name for his among fans, including Colin Trevorrow, the director of Jurassic World and Jurassic World: Dominion.
