Warning: the following contains SPOILERS for Jurassic World Dominion.
2022's Jurassic World Dominion's locusts become the unexpected villain in the sixth installment in the saga. Combined with Jurassic World 3's all-new dinosaurs, the movie's story ties directly to the twist ending of the preceding installment.
Set four years after the events of Blue the Velociraptor, and the Mosasaurus.
Jurassic World Dominion also introduces a host of new and previously unseen dinosaurs, both in the main story and in Dominion's prologue set 65 million years ago in the Cretaceous Era. As if Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom's ending didn't unleash enough dinosaurs on the world, Jurassic World Dominion is adding to the mayhem with a few more. Here are all of the new dinosaurs in Jurassic World Dominion.
Dreadnoughtus
The Dreadnoughtus is a massive new sauropod similar to the Brachiosaurus, and at 65 tons, it is considered the heaviest dinosaur to ever exist. The bones of the Dreadnoughtus were only discovered in real life in 2005 and the massive herbivore made its Jurassic World debut in Dominion's prologue, which is where many of the new dinosaurs are introduced into the Jurassic Park/World timeline. Encountered by Alan, Ellie, and Ramsay, a Dreadnoughtus bathes in the lake at the sanctuary, where it is the largest species to be housed. Later, during the forest fire, two Dreadnoughtus get evacuated to the emergency containment zone, standing out among various other dinosaurs. At 30-feet tall, it would be easy to spot any Dreadnoughtus, whether they are still out in the wild or in the abandoned sanctuary.
Quetzalcoatlus
The flying Pteranodons are first introduced in Jurassic World Dominion ending sees a flock of several Quetzalcoatlus, Pteranodons, other Pterosaurs, and some birds flying away, signaling a peaceful coexistence. There's also a nest of Quetzalcoatlus visible at the top of One World Trade Center in New York.
Oviraptor
Although the Oviraptor was scrapped from Jurassic World Dominion, there is a deleted scene in which the Oviraptor fights a Lystrosaurus in the black market for exotic pets. That said, the Oviraptor appears in the prologue as well, which is why many were surprised to see that the Oviraptor didn't make it to the final cut of the movie. Frustratingly shrouded in shadow, the Oviraptor is a feathered dinosaur that's similar to the Velociraptor but smaller in size. It's one of the first dinosaurs with feathers in the Jurassic franchise, which is more scientifically accurate, and it's known for feeding on dinosaur eggs.
Lystrosaurus
The Lystrosaurus is a herbivore whose name literally translates to "shovel lizard." Unlike the Oviraptor, the Lystrosaurus actually has a short scene in Jurassic World Dominion in which it is being sold in the black market in Valetta, Malta. In the real world, the extensive presence of Lystrosaurus fossils throughout the world is used as evidence for the theory of continental drift, which states that modern landmasses were once ed as the supercontinent of Pangaea.
Nasutoceratops
First featured in the short film Battle at Big Rock, the horned Nasutoceratops is similar to the Triceratops and the Sinoteratops, but with shorter horns extending from below the bony armored plate on its head. Several Nasutoceratops are seen wading across the river in the prologue. In the movie, Nasutoceratops roam the wilds of Calgary and Colorado, showcasing Jurassic World Dominion's filming locations. Claire, Franklin, and Zia also steal a juvenile Nasutoceratops from poachers, who get knocked down by a charging herd of adult Nasutoceratops that get spooked.
Moros intrepidus
Seen picking at the teeth of the new Jurassic World Dominion apex predator, the tiny Moros intrepidus is a feathered dinosaur that resembles a very small T-Rex. While the Moros intrepidus' bones were discovered in 2013, it was only confirmed as a new species in 2019. This makes the Moros intrepidus the fastest case of a new, real-life dinosaur discovery being included in a Jurassic movie.
Iguanodon
The Iguanadon is another large herbivore that debuts in Jurassic World Dominion, and it is sighted briefly in the film's Cretaceous prologue before the reveal of the new apex predator's battle opponent, Jurassic Park's feathered T-Rex. Some of the adorable herbivores can be seen escaping from the forest fire. Many of the Iguanadon are likely to still be in the wild as well as in the abandoned sanctuary.
Atrociraptors
Also known as "designer dinosaurs," Atrociraptors were likely bred from modified Velociraptor DNA. This makes them more brutal versions of the infamous Velociraptors. Also bred to have multiple color schemes - combined variations of orange, white, red, brown, and black - the Atrociraptors chased Claire, Owen, and Barry throughout the city in Jurassic World Dominion.
Pyroraptor
The striking, red-feathered, semi-aquatic Pyroraptor can move quickly through the water thanks to its webbed feet, and it is first encountered by Owen and Kayla at the frozen lake where it lives. Owen and Kayla manage to get away from the Pyroraptor and make their way to the dam. Although the Pyroraptor isn't shown escaping the forest fire, it could still be alive somewhere.
Therizinosaurus
The long-clawed dinosaur in Jurassic World Dominion is called Therizinosaurus, which is first seen stalking Claire after the plane crash. Despite its frightful appearance and iconic claws, the Therizinosaurus is actually a herbivore in real life. During the climax of Jurassic World Dominion, the Therizinosaurus and the T-Rex known as Rexy fight the Giganotosaurus together. In the end, Rexy rams the distracted Giganotosaurus onto the Therizinosaurus claws, putting an end to the threat. The Therizinosaurus also notably loses a left claw during the fight, but it's likely to still be alive.
