Rexy is the former secondary antagonist turned heroic character in the climax of the original Jurassic Park movie.
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 Velociraptors 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 alongside Blue and the Mosasaurus. 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 three 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.
The animatronic was nicknamed Roberta in Phil Tippett's storyboards for the first film[1]; however, the film itself addressed her as Rexy, an originally derogatory but soon turned affectionate nickname given to her in the original novel, Jurassic Park: The Game, The Evolution of Claire, and Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous. She is a female Tyrannosaurus that appears in Jurassic Park, Jurassic World, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, Jurassic World: Dominion: The Prologue, Jurassic World: Dominion, and Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous: Hidden Adventure. She is known for participating in several incidents on Isla Nublar and for saving the major human participants involved in these incidents from other dangerous creatures, although inadvertently. This makes her role something of a heroine in the franchise.
History[]
Late Cretaceous Period[]
65000000 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.
