All the dinosaurs in Jurassic World: Dominion bring something unique to the movie, and across the film, Owen, Claire, and returning Jurassic Park characters Grant, Ellie, and Dr. Ian Malcolm face a variety of new prehistoric beasts (and some fan favorites from previous franchise entries). The third entry in the Jurassic World trilogy, and the sixth Jurassic feature overall, Domion released in 2022, four years after the debut of 2018's Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Dominion seems to wrap up the Jurassic World trilogy and concludes many story arcs that began in 1993's Jurassic Park.

Following Jurassic World's friendly Velociraptor, Blue.

T-Rex

The Jurassic Park Staple Returned In Dominion

It wouldn't be a Jurassic film without a T-Rex, and of all the dinosaurs in Jurassic World: Dominion, this one remains the fan-favorite. The iconic predator is the unofficial mascot for the series, with its skeleton serving as the logo for the park both in real life and in films. Of all the T-Rexes in the franchise, none is more beloved than the first Rex from Jurassic Park. Dubbed "Rexy," this is the same T-Rex that fought the Indominus in Jurassic World and escaped into the wild at the end of Fallen Kingdom.

The fan-favorite T-Rex sees her arc conclude by the end of the movie too, finally getting revenge on the Giganotosaur who killed her 65 million years ago.

After years of survival, Rexy faces new challenges in Jurassic World: Dominion, which opens with a sequence set at a drive-in theater where she causes carnage while fleeing BioSyn helicopters. The fan-favorite T-Rex sees her arc conclude by the end of the movie too, finally getting revenge on the Giganotosaur who killed her 65 million years ago – a surprisingly satisfying end for a character who's a dinosaur.

Velociraptor

The Franchise's Smartest Dinosaurs Continue To Have A Strong Presence

After the T-Rex, the other most iconic dinosaur in the Jurassic franchise is undoubtedly the Velociraptor. Jurassic World introduced audiences to a specific raptor named Blue, who was trained from birth by Chris Pratt's Owen Grady. At the end of Fallen Kingdom, Blue escaped into the wild alongside a horde of other prehistoric beasts. Dominion takes Blue in a direction that many fans have found controversial, however.

While giving Blue offspring is no crime in itself, many have taken online to voice how convoluted the plotline around Beta and Blue played out.

Beta, another named Jurassic World: Dominion raptor, is Blue's daughter — produced asexually. While giving Blue offspring is no crime in itself, many have taken online to voice how convoluted the plotline around Beta and Blue played out. They felt the focus on sci-fi genetic science took up time that could have been spent on character development or more of the dinosaur action expected from a Jurassic World movie.

Pyroraptor

A New Feathered Dinosaur ed The Franchise

One of the new dinosaurs in Jurassic World: Dominion ar the Pyroraptors, which generated a lot of buzz. These distinctive raptors are feathered in the movie. This is an interesting choice since Jurassic Park and Jurassic World dinosaurs aren't scientifically accurate. Their design is normally less avian and more reptilian, as they were once thought to be before advances in paleontology and genetics led to a better understanding of dinosaur physiology.

The Pyroraptor can't claim any prizes for historical accuracy, however, as in the movie it's portrayed as an agile swimmer — something there's no evidence for in real life. Like many of the dinosaurs in Jurassic World: Dominion and other films in the franchise, the Pyroraptor didn't technically exist in the Jurassic period. Pyroraptors actually existed during the Cretaceous period, a few million years after the Jurassic era.

Mosasaurus

The Most Terrifying Dinosaur Ever To Grace The Ocean

One of the breakout stars when it comes to the newest dinosaurs in Jurassic World: Dominion, the Mosasaurus quickly became one of the most iconic animals in the entire franchise, even getting to kill the mutant Indominus Rex. It also holds the distinction of being the first of the park's residents to break free and leave the island behind. The Mosasaurus is still cruising the oceans in Dominion, capsizing a crabbing boat and consuming the crew at the beginning of the movie.

Archaeologists believe that the Mosasaurus could grow to be around 17 meters, which makes it among the biggest Jurassic World: Dominion dinosaurs. Like the Pyrosaur, it existed in the Createcous period, specifically during the Campian and Maastrichtian eras. The first Mosasaurus fossil was discovered in 1764, and was initially mistaken for a whale. The fossil still exists today, and can be viewd at the Teylers museum in Haarlem.

Atrociraptor

The Velociraptor's Antagonistic Cousin

Since Blue and Owen's arc meant Jurassic World's Velociraptors need to be more relatable than they were in Jurassic Park, the shoulder-height pack-hunter position in Jurassic World: Dominion is filled by the Atrociraptor. Atrociraptors are portrayed as one of the more dangerous dinosaurs in Jurassic World: Dominion, primarily because they're pack hunters and have the cunning intelligence most raptor species share. Larger and more brutish than Blue and other Velociraptors, Atrociraptors are one of the carnivores Owen has to avoid while racing through the streets of Malta on a motorbike.

Atrociraptors belong to the same family of dinosaurs as the Velociraptors, making them an ideal replacement in Dominion's high-octane bike chase scene. While not as widely known as Velociraptors, Atrociraptors co-existed with them during the Cretaceous Period. They grew to around 6.6ft in length, making them a similar size to Velociraptors despite the difference in scale between the two dinosaurs in Jurassic World: Dominion.

Allosaurus

The Prehistoric Carnivore That Terrorizes Malta

The carnivorous Allosaurus made its debut in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, where at least five examples of the species made it back to the mainland alive. One of these surviving Allosaurus was purchased in the film's dinosaur auction, and another was observed doing battle with a stubborn Nasutoceratops in the short film Battle at Big Rock. In Jurassic World: Dominion, several of the Allosaurus can be seen causing carnage in Malta after the dinosaur black market is raided by authorities.

The Allosaurus is one of the dinosaurs in Jurassic World: Dominion that actually existed during the Jurassic era, predating the likes of the Atrociraptor, Velociraptor, and Tyrannosaurus Rex by several million years. At its largest, an Allosaurus could grow to around 28ft, though despite this impressive size it's still only just above half the size of a larger T-Rex. One aspect of the Allosaurus that made them particularly terrifying is that their teeth are serrated, guranteeing each bite from prey will remove a significant amount of flesh.

Carnotaurus

The Cretaceous Predator That (Almost) Matches The T-Rex

The other deadly predator unleashed on the streets of Malta after the dinosaurs at the black market in Jurassic World: Dominion are liberated is the Carnotaurus. While not quite the same level of apex predator as the mighty T-Rex, Carnotaurus still dominated food chains across South America during the late Cretaceous period. The Carnotaurus may be smaller than a T-Rex, but they tower over the panicked citizens of Malta in Dominion — a fact these carnivorous horned predators use to their grizzly advantage.

A real Carnotaurus could grow anywhere up to 26ft in length, making them around the same size as an Allosaurus but still nowhere near as big as a T-Rex. Carnotaurus and Tyrannosaurus both existed at roughly the same point in the Late Cretaceous period around 72-69 million years ago, and outside of Rexy, they're definitely one of the most deadly dinosaurs in Jurassic World: Dominion (despite the movie not quite showing their full potential). Carnotaurus had a notably muscular neck for a predator of its size and build, which paleontologists believe may have been used for fighting others of its species with head-bashing instead of bits.

Quetzalcoatlus

A Flying Dinosaur That Preys On Planes

There aren't many flying dinosaurs in Jurassic World: Dominion, but the 2022 movie chose an incredibly iconic one to focus on — Quetzalcoatlus, a Cretaceous period dinosaur that is believed to have emerged towards the end of the era of the T-Rex. Quetzalcoatlus was a behemoth flying pterosaur, the same family as the Pterodactyl. Quetzalcoatlus, however, was much larger, a fact leveraged in one of Jurassic World: Dominion's intense CGI sequences when one tries to take down a plane.

It's clear judging by Quetzalcoatlus size that they're one of the largest flying dinosaurs, and so far there have been no species discovered that outsize it. They were thought to have a wingspan of just over 36ft, which is more than large enough to make air travel infinitely more hazardous in the dinosaur-inhabited Earth of Jurassic World: Dominion. Quetzacoatlus were discovered relatively recently compared to some of the other dinosaurs in Jurassic World: Domion, with the first fossils only being unearthed in Texas in 1971.

Therizinosaurus

The Terrifying Clawed Predator From Pre-History

One Jurassic World: Dominion scene that harks back to the tension Jurassic Park mustered involves Claire Dearing hiding from the terrifying Therizinosaurus. This predator has a distinct appearance, sporting long claws that could reach over 3ft — thought to be the longest of any animal that's walked the Earth to date.

Therizinosaurus was comparable in size to Tyrannosaurus Rex, and the pair teamed up at the climax of Jurassic World: Dominion to take on the fearsome Giganotosaurus.

Therizinosaurus existed in the Cretaceous era, though it is thought to have possibly slightly pre-dated the T-Rex. They could grow to around 33ft in length, making them one of the largest bipedal land-based dinosaurs in the Jurassic World or Jurassic Park franchises. Despite their fearsome appearance, paleontologists believe that Therizinosaurus weren't carnivores, and fed mostly on plants, particularly the foliage from trees.

Giganotosaurus

The Rival To The T-Rex With An Incredibly Appropriate Name

If Rexy is the Godzilla of the Jurassic World franchise, then the monstrous Giganotosaurus is its King Ghidorah. The Giganotosaurus is set up as an antagonist for the T-Rex to take on in an epic dinosaur fight at the end of Jurassic World: Dominion, and Rexy isn't able to best the titanic carnivore without assistance from a Therizinosaurus. It's unsurprising that even a T-Rex struggled to take on this Jurassic World dinosaur, as they could grow to around 43ft in length, making them roughly the same size.

While every predatory dinosaur in Jurassic World: Dominion is fearsome, Giganotosaurus is in a league of its own. They were larger than Tyrannosaurus Rex and had mouths full of 8-12-inch teeth, which they could drive into the flesh of their prey with a bite strength of over 35,000 Newtons. The T-Rex vs Giganotosaurus was one of the most impressive Jurassic World: Dominion dinosaur fights, but the two didn't coexist in real life. Giganotosaurus last roamed the earth around 99 to 95 million years ago, long before the first T-Rex emerged.
