| Not much gives me the chills. But this... this is something else. Now listen to me very carefully; it is imperative that you keep the Scorpios rex under control. If this thing escapes... well, I'm not even gonna go there. |
Scorpios rex is a genetically modified species of dinosaur in the Jurassic World Evolution series. Frozen and held captive in InGen's secret tunnels until it escaped, there were two known individuals: the first one created by Dr. Henry Wu as a prototype of the Indominus rex, while the second was asexually reproduced by the original.
Scorpios rex was added to Evolution 2 as a part of the Camp Cretaceous Dinosaur Pack. Scorpios rex then returns in the base game of Evolution 3.
History[]
During the progression of Jurassic World, Dr. Henry Wu was tasked by Eli Mills to create a hybrid dinosaur. Wu's attempts were ordered numerically, culminating in the last version named E750, which was created in 2009. While billionaire Simon Masrani was aware of a hybrid being created, he deemed the Scorpios rex "too ugly" for public display in addition to the dinosaurās extremely unstable temperament. Wu was attacked at some point by his creation, and it was decided that the hybrid was too dangerous to be contained entirely. As a final response, Wu placed his creation in a cryogenic sleep, ending the hybrid project.
In 2016, following Isla Nublar's abandonment six months prior, a deserted group of campers found the Scorpios rex's containment tube, and unintentionally warmed the chamber. After further damage from a Compsognathus, the storage container cracked through overheating, leading to Wu's failed hybrid emerging from its unit and wreaking havoc across Camp Cretaceous.
The animal reproduced via parthenogenesis after escaping from the facility and created a duplicate offspring that was equally aggressive, to the point where both would unflinchingly attack each other. The rampaging hybrids then proceeded to kill various dinosaurs on the island, including Ceratosaurus, Gallimimus, Brachiosaurus, and Parasaurolophus. The only animal they were incapable of killing was Bumpy, a subadult Ankylosaurus. The campers acquire a tranquilizer gun they found in the old Visitor Centre to sedate the hybrids. After being assisted by Blue the Velociraptor, both Scorpios rex were crushed by the collapsing Visitor Centre.
Later on, the campers accidentally destroyed Dr. Wu's laptop, rendering the recreation of more Scorpios rex impossible. However, its genetic legacy was continued with the creation of the Indoraptor after the Indominus rex's death.[1]
Characteristics[]
One of the first hybrid creations of Dr. Henry Wu, measuring 8 meters in length, Scorpios rex is a hybrid dinosaur that shares many similarities with the much later Indoraptor, though with a much shorter snout, prominent spikes, and rows of serrated, jagged, uneven teeth designed to tear through the flesh of its prey characterize this impressive species as a truly intimidating apex carnivore. It has blood-red eyes, charcoal-black scales, and a yellow belly. Along with DNA from a variety of carnivorous dinosaurs, a series of venomous quills also decorate its head and tail, acquired from the use of splicing the DNA of the scorpionfish, a deadly fish that secretes venom from its fins. The forelimbs of the Scorpios rex are nearly as long as its hindlimbs, which can help stabilize the animal in a quadrupedal position. The combination of power, intelligence, dexterity and speed with such a powerful venom makes Scorpios rex one of the most fearsome dinosaurs ever to have existed. Known for its aggressive nature, it was originally deemed unfit for display until recently.
Gameplay[]
Behavior[]
Much like both the Indominus rex and Indoraptor, the Scorpios rex has only ever lived in captivity; therefore, little is known about its natural habitat. Researchers believe that the hybrid's aggressive behavior make it unsuitable for release into the wild ā in fact, many experts believe that its creation was a mistake, and it should be destroyed as a matter of urgency.
The Scorpios rex is highly territorial, disliking everything, much like the Indoraptor. The Scorpios requires live prey to be satisfied. When fighting other dinosaurs, it uses its tail to attack and envenomates its rival. It's powerful enough to kill even the Indominus rex.
(It's unknown if this was intentional or not, but when a player opens the gate to see how the Scorpios rampages, it didn't seem interested in escaping and attacking. This resembles its in-universe behavior where it's docile, but it can instantly become aggressive)
