Giganotosaurus

Lore & Background

The creature’s introduction sparked an immediate struggle for supremacy. Characterized by immense stature and a massive jaw capable of crushing bone with ease, it displays none of the hesitation seen in other carnivores. In the prologue a Giganotosaurus kills a T. rex in battle during the Cretaceous; in the film's climactic scene the cloned Giganotosaurus is killed when the T. rex pushes it onto the claws of a Therizinosaurus. Beyond its physical prowess, the Giganotosaurus embodies the hubris of its creators; once released into an environment it can dominate, human control becomes an illusion.
