Long before we saw our first footage of Jurassic World, director Colin Trevorrow teased a new dinosaur creation, one dreamt up in a lab. It's all being quiet on this new dino front so far, until now. Jurassicworld.com has been updated with details of the Indominus Rex, complete with teasing images of this new creature. The full write up of where this creature comes from is below, and from this maybe we'll see why Chris Pratt needed that Raptor honour guard.

We set out to make Indominus the most fearsome dinosaur ever to be displayed at Jurassic World. The genetic engineers at our Hammond Creation Lab have more than delivered. At first glance, Indominus most closely resembles a T. Rex. But its distinctive head ornamentation and ultra-tough bony osteoderms can be traced from Theropods known as Abeliosaurs. Indominus’ horns have been placed above the eye orbit through genetic material hybridized from Carnotaurus, Majungasaurus, Rugops and Giganotosaurus. Fearsome indeed.
Indominus’ roar is estimated to reach 140-160db—the same as a 747 taking off and landing. And it can reach speeds of 30 mph…while confined to its enclosure. Come experience Indominus Rex for yourself beginning this summer. If you dare.
