This DARK Untold Jurassic World Death Is Really SCARY

The Dino Tracker website for Jurassic World Dominion has some dark and scary lore about the Dimetrodons in the Amber Mines from the film. Dr. Grant, Sattler and Maisie are attacked by the creatures but the movie says the dinosaur brain chips should have stopped all of this. Halloween is closer and scarier dinosaur ideas are welcome so this canon material is something I wish we would have more of in the movies themselves.

The Dimetrodon were a welcome addition to the film franchise in my opinion. I like the dark and creepy implication that Dodgson would send people down into the mine to feed them to the Dimetrodon in order to keep them quiet.

[@alezot6141]

In the movie, Dodgson shows little hesitation in trying to kill the protagonists multiple times, straight up unleashing a Quetzalcoatlus on Kayla's plane and then sending Aland and Ellie to their deaths in the mines. His subordinates don't seem at all surprised by it; he clearly did this before... Then again, blocking excavation in the amber mine is bad for business, and Dodgson is all about the money. The most likely reason of why the Dimetrodon haunt the caves is that the signals from the chip doesn't work well beneath the whole ass mountain - and good luck flushing out the known man-eaters from the dark tunnels WITHOUT using lethal force (they are precious assets after all).

[@kingofhearts3185]

Yeah the caves probably blocl the signals

[@RigepFroggit]

The Qutzalcoatlus scene was so stupid I had to throw popcorn at the screen. A live one would weigh less than 300 pounds and its maximum flying speed would be lower than the stall speed of the aircraft they were in. It would be like my truck hitting a buzzard, annoying and expensive depending on where it hit but NOT likely to take down the plane.

[@purpleYamask]

Personally, I wonder if the twisting tunnels and dense rock of the mine is why they can't bring them out. The letter mentions "their caves" so it seems the Dimetrodon were already troglodytic, contained in a local natural cave of unknown scale, and then accidentally unleashed into the mine. These chips are presumably controlled by radio or wireless, both things that would be unable to penetrate the surrounding bedrock. And even if they could drive the Dimetrodon, are these Caves mapped? Where would they evac the animals to?

[@delainahewitt1547]

The Dimetrodon made it very clear that it didn't like people being in its territory! That cave scene was scary but incredible! Thank you for covering this, Klayton! Loved it! Keep up the great work!

[@Dinoslay]

The Dimetrodon attack was easily my favorite part in Dominion. The lore surrounding the mines is a nice add-on to create some questions about the morality in letting the animals roam free the way they did. It’s almost like safety wasn’t really a priority to those who allowed it.

[@Sean_Last1995]

I would have been a creepy reveal if dodgson told them he sent people down there to be killed over an intercom to Alan, Ellie and Maisie while the the Dimetrodons were being held back by the chips then turn off the chips and said "now you three will be there dinner I haven't fed them in awhile and they are hungry" leading to a whole chase scene.

[@beenjammin2000]

Imagine if instead of dimetrodon, it was the troodon from the telltale game that was hiding in the amber mine.

[@dereklopez9060]

That would've been really wicked. Instead of the stupid Locust plot, it would've been more interesting if it was the Troodon's as the main threat.

[@joshuariddensdale2126]

In the first JW movie, it's stated that the Pachys have an implant in their skull, which shorts out when they ram something. Perhaps it was similar to this theory about the Dimetrodons.

[@StyleshStorm]

as a little kid in the late 90s and early 2000s this dinosaur always caught my attention for some reason.

[@cemilhan725]

It is a Synapsid. Dimetrodons are reptile like mammals, and they are part of a group known as Synapsids. And synapsids are ancestors of all mammals. So Dimetrodon lived like, 20 million years before the dinosaurs.

[@cemilhan725]

I have one question. How did they managed get Dimetrodon and Mosasaurus DNA? I mean, marine reptiles live under water, so they can't get bit by mosquitos; and Dimetrodon lived millioms of years before the first mosquitos. Funfact: Dimetrodon's posture was more like an alligator than a lizard. It is suspected that it might had whiskers or primitive hair. And JWD Dimetrodon is heavly shrink-wrapped.

[@alezot6141]

In the Masrani Backdoor, it is explained that scientists have been able to retrieve viable DNA directly from the fossils. For the Mosasaurus specifically, they used an new kind of iron analyzer. Presumably, BioSyn found alternative means to retrieve the Dimetrodon genome as well.

[@Durmomo0]

Dimetrodons do look skinny in the face etc. Im just going to say there isnt a lot of food in the caves for them to eat and they are forced down there because the surface has better predators who go after them.

[@AndyR1982]

Few things here. 1. The brain chip hadn't been planned for prior to the Dimetridon outbreak in the mines. Possibly why the Quatz needed the "Arial net" to be controlled. There hadn't been need yet. 2. The depth of the caves interfere. It has been a while since I have seen Dominion, but I don't remember seeing them in the mix of creatures at the end when they all get "called" back. 3. They were planned not to have any? As for the brain chip thing. It seems that it affected Rexy and I would think that it would be something that would have to be done in the egg or shortly after hatching.

This looks amazing for my birthday and as always, Take It Easy And Life Would Find A Way.

[@TheHallow31]

I see there being one of two possibilities: 1. The Dimetrodons were cloned prior to the invention of the chips and were able to claim the caves as their territory unchecked because of this. 2. Dodgson deliberately kept them unchipped so he could use them to get rid of anyone he needed to. It's also possible that he simply deactivated their chips once he realized he had use for them.

[@HeinrichCha]

I love it when you cover the creepier parts of the lore. Great video, Klayton!

[@ashwinjacob9295]

I have a theory about the brain implanted chips as they were introduced in jurassic world camp creataceous. Like in one of the episode dodgeson/biosyn were interested in kash's brain implant chip to control the dinosaur but since the original person (kash) die by the velociraptor and the main crew destroying the chips and what if dodgeson/biosyn tried to recreate the dinosaur controling chips but wasn't able to recreate the chip to its fullest potential but rather a waterdown version of the original chip and thats why they can't control dinosaur in the movie

[@coryfice1881]

Really shows that biosyn/Dodgson never really cared about these animals. Puts the most ancient animal humanity every cloned back into existence into these dark caves as execution animals where there is no telling if human meat could be poisonous to them. Especially since they mostly ate amphibians. Also leaving the lone Pyroraptor to eventually starve, alone, and in the elements cause it didn't come out right.

Could it be that (like the original JP novel) the dinosaurs were breeding and going unaccounted for. The system looks for, finds and is satisfied by the 10 pyroraptors it finds but isn’t aware of the addition raptors and dimetrodons that have bred up.

[@Blaze4ification]

I mean the Pyroraptor... it's a raptor, possible it could've found some way to get it out or disable it being hyper intelligent (granted it is in the brain rather than elsewhere like when Indominus removed her's), however yeah is a bit odd that some of them were just let loose. Maybe I'd chock it up to they just didn't have the resources to keep up with all of them, especially if they started breeding quickly and out of control, so maybe the Dimetrodon down there don't have any being a 2nd or 3rd generation that never got chipped. Very possible there is an oversight on the writers parts, but anything is possible... life finds a way.

[@JoshO423]

It was lame that they added new dinos for 15sec each, with magical escapes each time. Quetzalcoatlus? Just 1 brief attack, everyone survived. Pyroraptor? It swam once, and was immediately beaten. Dimetrodon? They roared, and luckily there was a gate & rescued nearby.

[@stendec6649]

Apart from a few deaths on the black market in Malta and Dodson's death in the jaws of dilophosaurs in JWD, no one else died. We fans like to see dinosaurs defeating humans! However, in JWD the man won too often. The deadliest creature was the Carnotaurus "Demon". Respect to him because he defeated all the raptors, Trex, Giganotosaurus, Dilophosaurus and pterosaurs. Well, only Allosaurus was his equal.

[@TyroneBruinsmaFilms]

Imagine if Dimetrodon's sails could be used in a creepy way, like imagine if their sails could be used to hypnotize/hallucinate prey items like humans and THAT'S what made them so effective in the mines, being surrounded by 7 of these animals hypnotizing you

[@abyssal_phoenix]

I remember that i was thinking 2 things in the movie: 1. They were bluffing with all the dinosaurs being chipped. I suspected that only the most "valuable" ones were chipped. Or in other creatures there were different types chips/prototype chips/failed chips. 2. Certain animals, like the flying reptiles, pyroraptor and dimetrodons were used as a way to prevent trespassers, kill disloyal workers etc. The flyers would be able to take down potential helicopter and airplanes that they didn't want around. Pyroraptors running about the mountain range surrounding the valley could keep out and in people trying to go through the mountains to escape/enter. And ofc the dimetrodons were kept there as an easy way to get rid of unwanted people and would prevent anyone to go into the mine shafts without permission to for example steal the amber from there. I also thought that perhaps the dilphosaurus had to get chipped still, perhaps it was newly arrived or it mananged to get past the chipped somehow (by being sneaky or something) or the chips all started to malfunction as soon as biosyn fell during the fire, leaving the dinosaurs room to wander around?? Idk it was just pure speculation while watching the movie

My thoughts on the brain chips not working on Dimetrodons or Pyroraptors, it's another example of man's folly. They think their technology and control is superior, just like Masrani did, just like Hammond did. Life found a way. It's the first cracks that show Biosyn Valley would have failed in the same way as Jurassic Park and Jurassic World. We just never got to see the cracks grow into full-on chaos because for some reason we got a bug movie instead of a dinosaur movie.

[@stendec6649]

Because I consider the control chip from Camp Cretaceus and JWD to be one of the stupidest things this franchise has given us (worse than hybrids, and maybe even worse than locusts). Therefore, I believe that animals have learned to bypass this control. That's why the pyroraptor escaped outside the reserve, the dimetrodon lives freely in caves, and the dilophosaurs, instead of coming to the surface, went into the tunnel and dealt with Dodson.

(1:01) Thats what I was thinking, of how the Dimetrodons found a way out and decide to live in the mines. That or maybe Biosyn left the mines abandoned after they collected enough DNA and decide to leave the Dimetrodons there (kinda like the Nothosaurus in Camp Cretaceous season 5). Speaking of season 5 they did show how Dodgson got the brain chips (or at the very least was inspired to make slightly different ones than the Mantah Corp brain chips), so maybe the Dimetrodons broke out and took over the mines way before Biosyn made the brain chips. ⛏🪨🤔🤷🦎💀 Not gonna lie the music in the beginning of this video sounds creepy as hell (kinda reminds me of the "Godzilla vs Biollante" soundtrack). 🎼😨🌹

This might sound a little ridiculous but I think the dimetrodons are allowed to be in the mines because they can use the brain chips to simply make them not move, since it was possible to do so in camp cretaceous, so Dodgson just didn't care to get them out because of that ability, in his mind they can just freeze them when they need to, do whatever they need to do, and unfreeze them afterwards, again this is probably a ridiculous idea but it just popped in my mind as a possibility so I thought I should share, the idea of them being used to get rid of snoopers is an excellent idea though

[@christopherbraxton7333]

The dimetrodons... are nice additions to the 3rd installment to the Jurassic world trilogy and nice little build up to them in the previous movie with a taxidermy specimen in the Benjamin Lockwood manner... I mean males about as much sense in a build as the subtle line crosshairs told drift in age of extinction about how Optimus prime will be brain washed in the last knight after taming grimlock... But all and all alot like the komodo dragons from the movie komodo even having the hatchlings from walking with monsters life before the dinosaurs having them climb trees to avoid being the victims of cannibalism... these were the apex predators during the Permian time period and yes they were known as mammel like reptiles but I myself admit I haven't been keeping up on recent studies of that's valid or not anymore and outside the Jurassic franchise this animal made multiple appearances in other media and prehistoric documentaries even having a fire breathing individual over sized in the classic land of the lost series done by stop motion... Also I like to know what you think of the smilodon inclusion in Jurassic world camp cretaceous season 4 and what you think of the two Syfy channel original movies sabertooth and attack of the sabertooth on dragon curve can't wait to see what you think of them it's all kinds of cheesy but yeah being only 8 or 9 in 2002 and 11 or 12 in 2005 when those movies came out yeah that just speaks for itself...

Dominion, to me, could've been a two parter at least. It would've been better. So many characters in so little time overall. They could've split the story in two, have part 1 starting with the Chekhov's Gun of the locusts and hints of Biosyn and the genetic modifications before moving to be predominantely about Claire and Owen and how they try to find Maise before they meet up with the OG trio. Then part 2 recaps and does a flashback to the OG trios side of the story and how they end up meeting with Claire and Owen by the end of the film. Or something like that. Plus, I wanted to know what happened to the Blackmarket woman, whose name I forgot, who set the dinos on Owen. So many things I wanted to know and not mentioned.

[@ghostwolf2.058]

Unfortunately all the questions regarding the dimetrodons, the aerial deterrent, and pyroraptor can all be traced to the infamous rushed production of Dominion.

I think a really cool plot for a future Jurassic world movie would take place far in the future and all the contents are coming back together again into a new Panja, and the climate is rapidly heating up due to global warming. Many of the modern animals and humans are struggling to survive because of constantly getting hunted by dinosaurs and the extreme heat, but also because of the DX disease which doesn't really affect the dinos, but is like the Spanish Flu to humans and modern animals. The Earth would be reversing back to the Mesozoic period and humans are struggling to not go extinct and trying to protect and preserve modern animals from the same fate.

[@Deaducation]

I figured they were there as guards … That only Dodson could call off. Them being both a way to guard the mines from explores trying to gain access to DNA hoping they’d get lucky and also a place where if he had a bad interaction with someone powerful he could say, “well I apologize for this but I hope we can come to some agreement in the future. Take a private little tour one of our high tech Mortal Kombat balls on your way out maybe it’ll change your perspective, and don’t forget when you stop at our old mines… take a tour it’s quit terrific, I’ve gotta go now and find food, it’s a ritual for me to eat while watch them die.” Lol

[@ODSTMoody]

I'd like to call back to the original Michael Crichton novel, when they find the nests of velociraptors in the caves. What if the Dimetrodons are in the caves, and are able to breed? No brain chips in ones that are born out of captivity, therefore no tracking. I don't think it would be too much of a stretch to assume that something is going on in those caves that Biosyn doesn't know about. It would make sense, given how they portray Dogson as having quite the ego and assuming everything is under his "control".

I completely disagree about the Dimetrodons potentially killing the protagonists being 'silly'. The reason it works so well is that they would be pretty much useless antagonistic creatures in any other location, but the cave is so claustrophobic and small-scale that it's easy to get cornered and the Dimetrodons work perfectly as the sort of 'monsters in the dark' style antagonists.

[@RogueT-Rex8468]

The theri scene was amazing and had a tension we haven’t seen in honestly a long time. And this? This just adds to the idea that this movie would have been AMAZING had they not pulled punches. There was no tension. Too many ideas that never got proper show time. Dimetron in this hypothetical scene would have been chilling if they’d have given it love… I’m so sad this was never really played up. Rip fan hopes

Dominion was OK amd will always be liked by me, being a lifelong mega fan... But Battle at Big Rock was such an awesome tease leading to a subpar conclusion.

Do you think there is a chance the signal to the brain implants couldn't penetrant the ground as the animals were I. The mines

However, the most interesting thing is that these caves are empty. Dimetrodons have to eat something (I doubt deer would be allowed there). If Biosyn wanted to get rid of the dimetrodons, they would just seal off these caves and wait until they starve to death. However, dimetrodons are able to survive there. This is very disturbing. I guess Dodson made sure they had something to eat (and he probably had many enemies)

Maybe the chips were used to keep the dimetrodons docile while workers were there then their normal behavior could be turned back on for intruders

Very resident evil...
