For a while now, the new Mutant Dinosaur teased in Jurassic World Rebirth has been referred to as the D-Rex thanks to early leaks. Today, thanks to merchandise packaging on a Mattel action figure of the D-Rex, we now know the full name for this genetic abomination is the Distortus Rex!

The name suits the creature well, given its distorted physiology compared to its genetic predecessors.

Errors in the genome, due to their splicing efforts with frogs might have accounted for the accidental creation of this beast before the sequencing was perfected.
