Description In this work I tried to reimagine the Indominus rex in a more scientifically accurate style. I actually think that the Indominus is the most accurate of all creatures in Jurassic World. Think about it: it is the only creature to have some feathers (quills), and the only one to have a sort of "justification" to be scaly (it has carnotaurus DNA, and we know that carnotaurus was scaly, soo...). Iven so, I decided to give to the Indominus a coat of fethers (it also has t.rex and velociraptor DNA, two feathered dinosaurs), and i tried to correct some classic features of theropod dinosaurs in popular culture now considered to be wrong, like the exposed theeth and the pronated hands. Speaking about hands, I decided to mantein the forth claw, because some primitive theropods actually had fore claws, and I coverd the arms with feathers similiar to that of therizinosaurs, because they are closer to the quills in the movie. I also added the infamous raptor claw, I mean, WHY NOT! Now there's the hard part: colour changing. I'm not convinced that an animal with so crocodilian scales like the Indominus could change colour. I mean, the only reptile we know that can change colour is the chameleon, and it has very small scales. Colour changing in dinosaurs has been proposed many times, so I don't know, I could be wrong. However, I thought that the Indominus coat could work as polar bears'fur, reflecting light and colour of the environment.

The camouflage is from Cuttlefish DNA.

I know but it couldn't have worked if it was feathered

Okay. It probably still has that armor under the feathers, like a ground sloth.

Yeah it does but I don't think it affects colour under feathers

Okay. A featheredย Segisaurus. In its Jurassic Park colors. Like this:ย Jurassic Park: Segisaurus byย Hellraptor

It's not really the scales of the chameleon that cause it to change color, though - it's the cells within them.

Plus, it also has a lot more than just Carnotaurus DNA - it also has Majungasaurus, Rugops, and Abelisaurus in it, all of which were scaly, as well as Giganotosaurus, which was probably quite scaly as well. Not to mention the fact that tough osteoderms would be a lot better armor for a military monster than feathers would.

Regarding the scales for a military armour, I agree with you, but my attempt was only to see how would it look with feathers, completely away from the movie plot. Regarding Majungasaurus, Abelisaurus, Rugops and Giganotosaurus, I know it also has their DNA, but I haven't considered them a lot, because we aren't sure 100% that they weren't feathered. I mean, Abelisaurs are generally reconstructed scaly for phylogeny with Carnotaurus, but we know from Kulindadromeus that scales and feathers can coexist. Regarding Giganotosaurus, it's not so certain that it was completely scaly, I mean Concavenator is in the same family and it had quills. Regarding chameleon cells, I know all depends on it chromatophores cells, but I'm not sure if an archosaur's scales could have that particular tipe of cellsย
