Dilophosaurus

The Dilophosaurus was one of the largest Carnivorous Dinosaurs of the Jurassic period, were as in Jurassic Park the story is quite different.

History

Creation

17 Dilophosaurus were cloned inside InGen's compound of Isla Sorna, an island off the coast of Costa Rica. They were raised by InGen workers until 5 out of the 17 Dilophosaurus were sent to Isla Sorna's neighboring island Isla Nublar to serve as attractions in Jurassic Park's Dilophosaur Paddock.

Unlike their original counterparts, the cloned Dilophosaurus could spit venom at a range of 20 feet (6.1 meters) and would aim for the prey's eyes, causing blindness and allowing the Dilos to make their kill. Dr. Henry Wu noted that the genetic structures of the cloned Dilophosaurus were compatible with the DNA of Dendrobates leucomelas (Yellow-banded poison dart frog).

Jurassic Park

When Dennis Nedry is trying to flee the park after sabotaging it and stealing dinosaur embryos, he accidentally crashes his Jeep Wrangler vehicle and when he tried to get out of the car so he could go on foot, he trips and falls down a hill where he encounters a young Dilophosaurus. He finds it quite funny at first but he tries to get it to leave but it doesn't and instead spits a paralysing so he flees back to his car. The Dilophosaurus follows and gets in. It then eats Nedry.

After the events of Jurassic Park/Isla Nublar Incident of 1993, all of the five Dilophosaurus survived to 1994 at least..

Jurassic World

During the Isla Nublar Incident of 2015, Gray Mitchell, in order to escape the building along with his brother Zach Mitchell, as well as Claire Dearing and Owen Grady, shortly uses the holographic display of Dilophosaurus to distract the raptor named Delta.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

During the operation to retrieve a bone from the skeleton of the Indominus rex, Jack was briefly startled by the sound of a Dilophosaurus hooting in the jungle near the mercenaries' Main Street campsite. However, he resumed his work without encountering the dinosaur, likely because the approaching T. rex scared the smaller predator away.

In the museum in Lockwood Manor, a Dilophosaurus statue can be seen fighting a brown Velociraptor statue in a diorama that was eventually wrecked by the Indoraptor. The Dilophosaurus in the estate is mainly green with red crests and frill.

A viable embryo of the Dilophosaurus was also seen being salvaged and in possession of Mills' mercenaries during Malcolm's voiced over final testimony with the committee.

By 2018, it was known that Dilophosaurus was subject to cruelty at some point in the past, according to the DPG.

Jurassic World Dominion

In 2022, during the Biosyn Valley incident, several Dilophosaurus were present in a sanctuary created by Biosyn. Three of them attempted to kill Claire Dearing before being frightened off by Owen Grady and Kayla Watts. The Dilophosaurus pack would later use their venom to subdue and kill Biosyn CEO Lewis Dodgson when he attempted to escape the sanctuary.

Jurassic World Rebirth

In 2027, a population of Dilophosaurus existed on Ile Saint-Hubert. One of them saw Teresa Delgado and was about to spit venom at her, but the specimen was frightened and ran away when it saw a Tyrannosaurus rex sleeping nearby.

According to some files in the abandoned island facility, a four-legged mutant Dilophosaurus lived on the island, but it is unknown if it was alive at the time of the film.
