With the franchise constantly toying with new ideas, it is no surprise that countless dinosaurs have been put into consideration for the films but ultimately scrapped or replaced in the final cut. Here is a list of the dinosaurs and other prehistoric reptiles that were scrapped from the films (and series).
Dinosaurs cut from Jurassic Park[]
See: Category:Animals Cut from Jurassic Park
Apatosaurus[]
Apatosaurus was supposed to appear in the riverbank by Michael Crichton where a Tyrannosaurus rex kills and eats one. However, the scene was cut and Apatosaurus was replaced by the popular Brachiosaurus relatively early in production on the account of the latter being larger by mass.
Cearadactylus[]
In the original screenplay of Jurassic Park, a sequence was planned where Dr. Grant, Tim and Lex Murphy were running from the T. rex and escaping into the Cearadactylus enclosure. The trio are then attacked, forcing them to flee. This scene was cut likely due to budget restraints. A similar scene featuring the Pteranodon was recycled in Jurassic Park III, due to the latter being Steven Spielberg's favorite pterosaur.
Cearadactylus is one of the few species from the novel that didn’t appear in any draft of the script for their respective movies.
Deinonychus[]
Deinonychus was planned to appear in the Jurassic Park novel, but it was renamed to Velociraptor as its name sounded more dramatic. However, the Velociraptor does retain many characteristics of the former.
Euoplocephalus[]
In Michael Crichton's original screenplay of Jurassic Park, a Euplocephalus herd were seen grazing along the riverside. The Tyrannosaurus rex then bursted from the river, causing the herd to flee. The entire river raft scene including the Euoplocephalus themselves was scrapped. Spielberg stated that he felt like the river scene would basically be taking a tour past every creature in the park. In reality you wouldn’t encounter everything. And thus the scene, alongside the dinosaurs, were cut.
In later films, the Euoplocephalus is replaced by the more popular Ankylosaurus.
Hadrosaurus[]
Hadrosaurus were supposed to replace the Maiasaura at one point and a young individual was supposed to be eaten by the Tyrannosaurus. A baby was also planned but the Hadrosaurus were inevitably replaced by the swifter but smaller Gallimimus.
Hypsilophodon[]
Hypsilophodon was one of the dinosaurs seen in Michael Crichton's original screenplay, where they can be seen at the riverbank alongside Apatosaurus and Euoplocephalus but the scene was cut.
Lambeosaurus[]
Lambeosaurus was going to be with the other herbivores seen by the guests of Jurassic Park, but was cut and only remains in one piece of concept art. They would’ve been a grayish blue with dark stripes. Based on the art, it is possible that they weren’t Lambeosaurus, but instead Hadrosaurus, which is known from that era of script. However, in reality Hadrosaurus was a member of the saurolophinae and Lambeosaurus was a member of Lambeosaurinae.
Maiasaura[]
Michael Crichton first proposed Maiasaura in his original screenplay for Jurassic Park. A Maiasaura herd were seen peacefully grazing, before being ambushed by the Tyrannosaurus rex causing a stampede. During the stampede, one unfortunate individual was killed by the T. rex. The scene was cut due to budget restraints. A hadrosaur stampede was recycled for Jurassic Park III and numerous behavioural characteristics of the Maiasaura were transferred to the Parasaurolophus.
Microceratus[]
Microceratus was the final dinosaur Michael Crichton proposed for Jurassic Park. Microceratus were first seen consuming berries, as observed by Lex Murphy. During the River Raft scene, a group Microceratus were seen fleeing alongside the Euoplocephalus, and were likely cut for the same reason. Microceratus would eventually appear in Jurassic World: Dominion, around three decades later.
Othnielia[]
Michael Crichton's original screenplay of Jurassic Park was almost identical to the novel. The Othnielia (now known to be synonymous with Nanosaurus) were supposed to be seen leaping from tree to tree inside their enclosure. Robert Muldoon notes they often jump over the fence.
Procompsognathus[]
The Procompsognathus were a species featured in the original novel at various moments. However, one of the scenes, where a Procompsognathus was supposed to eat a baby human before the scene was cut as it was too dark. It was later cut from the whole film, but recycled as Compsognathus for the sequel.
Ralph[]
As the movie was supposed to resemble the novel, Ralph would be featured in a scene where she would've ridden by Tim and Lex. However, it was cut, despite Stan Winston Studios having made an animatronic. However, the aforementioned animatronic would later be reused for The Lost World inside the hunters camp.
Stegosaurus[]
In the original script a sick Stegosaurus was planned to be part of the first film but it was replaced by Triceratops early in the films develpoment. However, it appear in the sequel.

Ankylosaurus[]
In the script for Jurassic Park: The Lost World, Robert Burke claimed to have seen the remains of an Ankylosaurus herd while he was in the helicopter that transported him to Isla Sorna and Burke further claims that they have gone extinct once again. This was cut for budget purposes. It is unknown how the ankylosaurs died despite their armors and tails clubs. However, they appear in the sequel and alive this time.
Apatosaurus[]
Apatosaurus appeared in the script for Jurassic Park: The Lost World. However, it was scrapped from the final cut and were replaced with Mamenchisaurus. However, they are mentioned multiple times in the behind the scenes.
Brachiosaurus[]
Brachiosaurus was planned to appear in the movie, but it was cut and its model gets modified for Mamenchisaurus. It appears in the sequel through. But, with a much different model.
Carnotaurus[]
Carnotaurus was a dinosaur that Michael Crichton proposed for The Lost World, where they attack our protagonists alongside the Velociraptors and Pteranodon sternbergi (sometimes argued to be its own genus; Geosternbergia.) It was scrapped, possibly being replaced by Tyrannosaurus rex. Fans had to wait a further twenty-one years for the abelisaurid to appear.
Corythosaurus[]
Corythosaurus is one of the three hadrosaurs that were supposed to appear in the movie, being misspelled as Carninthosaurus. An individual was captured by Ingen hunters but it later changed to a Parasaurolophus in the final product. A fact sheet of it did appear through during the dinosaurs chase scene. Another concept art feature a Corythosaurus corpse. It appear in the sequel through.
Geosternbergia[]
The original ending for The Lost World would feature a helicopter attacked by a flock of Geosternbergia. The scene was cut in favor of the Tyrannosaur rampage ending due to director Steven Spielberg's love for the scene. It must be noted that the Geosternbergia appeared in numerous sketches, concepts and even had a model created for the film; furthermore, the species appeared on both Roland Tembo's Dino guide and the Trailer's screensaver confirming their existence on the island, although no individuals made any physical appearances. Its scene was also referenced in the final script where Tembo mentions the hunters need to "climb" to the village something not seen being fulfilled as they just go through the long grass and encounter the Velociraptors.
At the time of production, it was considered a member of the Pteranodon genus and would have been represented as such. It would’ve been called Pteranodon sternbergi.
Hadrosaurus[]
Hadrosaurus were due to appear in the Lost World alongside Corythosaurus, Parasaurolophus and Maiasaura, but the three species were scrapped in the final product, with only the Parasaurs appearing.
Hypsilophodon[]
Hypsilophodon were the final dinosaurs Michael Crichton proposed for The Lost World and were seen grazing alongside the Mussaurus. Being cut for unknown reasons.
Maiasaura[]
Maiasaura was mentioned in the scene 33 of the script for The Lost World. It was planned to appear with Corythosaurus and Hadrosaurus, but they were cut.
Mussaurus[]
In the original script for The Lost World a Mussaurus herd were seen grazing alongside some Hypsilophodontids, and then get hunted by Velociraptors on Isla Sorna. This scene was cut due to the reduced role of the Velociraptors. If it had appeared, it probably would’ve had the inaccurate size of under a metre.
Ornitholestes[]
In the original screenplay for The Lost World, an Ornitholestes corpse washes up on a beach and was later ordered to be burnt by the Costa Rican government. This was replaced by a Parasaurolophus corpse in a scene that was cut altogether. (The carcass would later be used in the sequel, where a T. rex would be eating it)
Prenocephale[]
Prenocephale was supposed to appear in The Lost World, but it was scrapped in the final cut and replaced by the popular Pachycephalosaurus.
Procompsognathus[]
Procompsognathus was supposed to appear in the Lost World, but it was abandoned in the final product and replaced with Compsognathus. Despite this, the compies were referred as Procompsognathus in some Behind the Scenes and by Robert Burke.
Super-raptor[]
In The Lost World, a Velociraptor said to be the most deadly of its kind would lead the pack to attack the humans. It was cut due to feeling to unnatural but the idea of a hyper powerful Velociraptor was recycled for Jurassic Park: Trespasser's alpha Velociraptor and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom's Indoraptor.
Dinosaurs cut from Jurassic Park III[]
See: Category:Animals Cut from Jurassic Park III
Baryonyx[]
Baryonyx was planned to be the antagonist of Jurassic Park III, but it was later cut and replaced by Spinosaurus due to the fact that it was larger than the former. However, various pieces of concept art and storyboards it still call the Spinosaurus “Baryonyx” or “Bary” for short.
Carnotaurus[]
In an early pitch for Jurassic Park III, Carnotaurus was meant to replace the Ceratosaurus in the movie. Yet, it was scrapped due to the fact that it appeared in Disney's Dinosaur.
Sauropod Corpse[]
In the script, a sauropod carcass is being eaten by a Tyrannosaurus rex. This was changed to a Parasaurolophus. The sauropod carcass is stated in one source to be Datuosaurus.
Gallimimus[]
Gallimimus appears on a size chart depicting the Jurassic Park III dinosaurs alongside Pachycephalosaurus, but it was scrapped for unknown reasons.
Kronosaurus[]
Kronosaurus was planned to appear in Jurassic Park III, but it was scrapped.
Lourinhanosaurus[]
In an early draft for Jurassic Park III, a logo featuring Lourinhanosaurus was showcased. This could mean that the theropod would be the antgonist of the movie before being cut and replaced by Suchomimus, Baryonyx, and Spinosaurus.
Maiasaura[]
In an early pitch for Jurassic Park III, Alan Grant would witness a mother and her young feeding on ferns. Maiasaura was cut due to unknown reasons, considering Jack Horner, the series' scientific consultant, played a huge role in the discovery of the species.
Mosasaurus[]
An idea for Jurassic Park III feature a Mosasaurus breeding tank. It was included in the first draft of the script and had concept art done, but it was removed in later versions of it.
Ouranosaurus[]
In an earlier pitch for Jurassic Park III, Ouranosaurus was supposed to appear in the riverside scene; being cut for reasons unknown. The supposed Ouranosaurus appeared on a concept art of said scene, but they are actually Spinosaurus, given they are eating fish, and Ouranosaurus are in fact herbivores.
However, this hadrosauriform made its way into canon in Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, having similar semi-aquatic behavior to the Spinosaurus.
Pachycephalosaurus[]
Pachycephalosaurus appears on a size chart depicting the Jurassic Park III dinosaurs alongside Gallimimus, but it was scrapped for unknown reasons.
Suchomimus[]
Suchomimus was one of the species considered to be the main antagonist of Jurassic Park III, a role later considered for Baryonyx and then Spinosaurus. It was mentioned in the film, but it was ambiguous whether it was present on Isla Sorna.
The JurassicWorld.com website confirmed Suchomimus was extant on Isla Nublar by the time of the film, and it is not known if it became extinct before the eruption of Mount Sibo in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom; however, trophy hunter Ken Wheatley had one's teeth in his collection so hope remains for this spinosaurid.
Suchomimus got cut a second time, for the release of Jurassic World: Dominion. Where it was intended to play a minor part, fighting with a Carnotaurus and rampaging through Malta. It is now, however, rumored to appear in the upcoming series Jurassic World Chaos Theory, in 2024.

Beaked Dinosaur[]
This unidentified dinosaur appeared in concept art for Jurassic World. It is most likely meant to be a ornithomimid, but could also have been an alvarezsaurid or a noasaurid.
Brachiosaurus[]
In early concept art of Jurassic World or Jurassic Park IV, several Brachiosaurus were supposed to be featured in the Treetop Gazers, replacing Camarasaurus. However, the scene didn't make it into the final cut and Brachiosaurus was replaced by Apatosaurus. The former is still seen on the Holoscape.
Camarasaurus[]
Camarasaurus was going to be the sauropod the guests saw in the first film, replacing Apatosaurus but the Camarasaurus itself was replaced by Brachiosaurus due to the latter's bigger size. Ironically the dinosaur it was meant to replace, Apatosaurus made it into Jurassic World years later whilst the Camarasaurus remains scrapped.
Compsognathus[]
In a script for Jurassic Park IV, compsognathus would've appeared on the mainland hunting some chickens.
Corythosaurus/Hypacrosaurus/Nipponosaurus[]
In Jim Martin's storyboards for Jurassic World, a Hadrosaur that resembles either Corythosaurus, Nipponosaurus or Hypacrosaurus is seen next to a Gigantoraptor and the Monorail. The two former hadrosaurs are confirmed to have been planned for the park, but are never encountered.
Chlamydosaurus Sputori[]
The spitting frilled Lizard was used in an early concept for Jurassic Park IV, where they were a retcon for the infamously inaccurate Dilophosaurus.
Deinonychus Draxi[]
An earlier pitch for Jurassic World featured a pack of genetically engineered Deinonychus Draxi named after Greek heroes. A character named Nick trains the pack firsthand and takes down one individual; another named Achilles turns against the humans and consequently is shot; by the end of the film, the pack has escaped into the wild. They were one of the few dinosaurs to have been confirmed to have Homo Sapien DNA, used to increase their problem solving abilities. The DNA comes from the cut film’s antagonist Baron Von Drax, hence the binomial name meaning “Von Drax’s Terrible Claw”.
As in the novel and first film, Deinonychus was ultimately cut but remained a basis of inspiration for the Velociraptor squad in the final project.
Dilophosaurus[]
Dilophosaurus was originally meant to appear in Jurassic World, but it was cut although it was featured as a hologram. In an early script of Jurassic Park IV, they were retconned to be Chlamydosaurus Sputori.
Diplodocus[]
Diplodocus was originally meant to appear in Jurassic World, where it would’ve appeared along the jungle river cruise during a montage, but it was dropped in favor of the Apatosaurus. In other concepts, it is called under its old synonym Seismosaurus.
Edaphosaurus[]
Edaphosaurus was meant to appear in a scene next to the Monorail, but it was ultimately cut.
Edmontosaurus[]
Edmontosaurus was planned to be part of the fourth film but was cut. It was mentioned on the JurassicWorld.com website, confirming its existence on Isla Nublar in the films, though none were seen in the following film and they appear to have fallen back into extinction according to DPG articles.
Excavaraptor[]
Excavaraptor is a fictional dinosaur featured in the Jurassic Park IV script. The raptors have large front claws, and dig caverns in the jungles of Isla Nublar. The script was abandoned soon afterward, and this bizzare fictional dromeosaurid remains lost to time.
Gigantoraptor[]
Gigantoraptor was seen in the Visitor Center as a hologram and in a storyboard where it guests could see it through the Monorail.
Human-Dinosaur Hybrid[]
In some early pitch for Jurassic Park IV, the antagonists of the movie was originally three human-dinosaur hybrid, the first is a Triceratops, the second is a Velociraptor, the third is a Tyrannosaurus and the fourth is a Pteranodon. The hybrids were later scrapped in the final film because they were deemed too scary.
The idea likely evolved from an earlier script, featuring Deinonychus that contained human DNA to increase problem solving abilities.
Ichthyosaurus[]
An early pitch for Jurassic Park IV featured an attraction called Plesiosaur Pond where guests can see marine reptiles like Ichthyosaurus, who coexisted with the star of the attraction, Plesiosaurus. The scene was later scrapped in the final film.
Kentrosaurus[]
In Jim Martin's concept art of the Innovation Center, an image of Kentrosaurus was seen in a banner alongside Styracosaurus. However, the stegosaur never made it into the final cut, but is seen several years later in Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous.
Kronosaurus[]
In an earlier pitch for Jurassic Park IV (later renamed to Jurassic World) a scene was proposed where Kronosaurus attacked a helicopter in a similar manner to the Mosasaurus in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. The scene along with the entirety of the Jurassic Park 4 script was cut. However, this pliosaurid provided the base for aquatic creatures behavior, which is resonated by the Mosasaur throughout the World Trilogy.
Malusaurus[]
The Malusaurus was a fictional Carcharadontosaurud dinosaur discovered in Africa, originally planned for Jurassic World. Malusaurus attacked the protagonists on numerous occasions, and had many colour designs. One of which, most infamously, is grey with black stripes and a red head. The genetic information of the Malusaurus was utilized in the creation of the Indominus rex; the very hybrid Malusaurus was ultimately cut in favor of.
Microceratus[]
Microceratus was going to be in Jurassic World as it was director Colin Trevorrow's favorite dinosaur. It was meant to live in the Gentle Giants Petting Zoo but was replaced by baby versions of bigger dinosaurs. It was still known to live on Isla Nublar along the Cretaceous cruise, and survived the 2018 incident, but was first seen in 2022, seven years after it was first planned.
Ornithopod[]
This unidentified dinosaur appeared in concept art for Jurassic World. It could possibly be a hypsilophodontid or an iguanodontid.
Plesiosaurus[]
An earlier pitch for Jurassic World (previously known as Jurassic Park IV) featured a scene where there was a part of the park called Plesiosaur Pond, where guests could see marine species including a Plesiosaurus and an unknown species of Ichthyosaur.
The Plesiosaur Pond was an attraction originally meant to appear in Jurassic World but was cut from the final film. It was to be a large pool like the Jurassic World Lagoon inhabited by Plesiosaurus and several unidentified species of ichthyosaurs, presumably Ichthyosaurus. Visitors to Jurassic World would be able to visit the attraction by boarding a submarine attached to a monorail. A similar under water monarail is seen in Jurassic World: The Game in the aquatic enclosures.
Prehistoric Crocodile[]
In an early draft for Jurassic Park IV, an unknown reptilian attraction featuring an unidentified prehistoric crocodile was seen, but it never made it into the final film. And its identity remains unknown.
Quetzalcoatlus[]
At a 2013 Star Wars convention in Germany, a short film was shown with Quetzalcoatlus hunting humans at a beach. Quetzalcoatlus was shown in great detail, like its body structure and skin color, and even male and female versions of the animal. The video ended with the Jurassic World logo.
The video is actually from a pitch meant to greenlight the film. It appears in the third movie of the Trilogy, Jurassic World Dominion.
Red[]
This Velociraptor appeared in many early drafts of Jurassic World as a part of Owen Grady's Raptor Pack. Though, it was cut from the film. Red was primarily based on the Highland Velociraptors of JP III, albeit redder in colour with dark stripes.
Robertosaurus rex[]
Robertosaurus rex was supposed to be the main hybrid of Jurassic World before being replaced by the Indominus rex. It is unknown who it is named after.
Stegoceratops[]
The Stegoceratops was a hybrid planned for Jurassic World, which Owen Grady and Claire Dearing encountered in the jungles of Isla Nublar, discovering that Dr Henry Wu was creating more hybrids in secret. However, director Colin Trevorrow's son pointed out it would make the Indominus rex less special; consequently, Stegoceratops was cut.
In the film, Stegoceratops is seen on one of the computer monitors inside the Hammond Creation Lab, but it remains unknown if any individuals were created. While many sources and games regard it as Stegosaurus fused with Triceratops, the concepts of it more closely resemble Nasutoceratops, as opposed to its more famous relative.
Styracosaurus[]
In Jim Martin's concept art of the Innovation Center, an image of Styracosaurus was seen in a banner alongside Kentrosaurus. However, the ceratopsian didn't make it into the final film. They are, however, known to’ve been at the park, appearing on DPG documents and on one of Darius Bowman’s posters for Jurassic World.

Beipiaosaurus[]
In a concept art of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, our main characters are stuck in a school bus that is about to go down a cliff. This leads to many dinosaurs like Beipiaosaurus, Gallimimus and Stegosaurus. However, Colin Trevorrow confirmed that there were no plans for Beipiaosaurus and the school bus to be added in the final cut.
Camarasaurus[]
Camarasaurus was featured in some concept art for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom running alongside Einiosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Tyrannosaurus, and Baryonyx. However, Colin Trevorrow confirmed that there are no plans for it to be added in the final cut.
Corythosaurus[]
Corythosaurus was supposed to appear in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom but it was scrapped and put as subject to cruelty by 2018.
Deinosuchus[]

Einiosaurus was considered for the position of the new ceratopsian for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, with two individuals appearing in the concept art. However, this unusual ceratopsian was replaced by Pachyrhinosaurus in a cycle that lead to Sinoceratops.
Giganotosaurus[]
Giganotosaurus was featured in some concept art for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. However, Colin Trevorrow confirmed there were no plan for it to be added to the final cut.
Hadrosaurus[]
In a concept art of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, our main characters were supposed to ride a bulldozer while escaping the erupting volcano, passing by a herd of Hadrosaurus. The scene along with the hadrosaur were scrapped in the final cut.
Iguanodon[]
Iguanodon was planned to appear in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom but it was scrapped. It did appear in the sequel however.
Maiasaura[]
Maiasaura was planned to appear in the movie but it was scrapped again as Colin Trevorrow confirmed that there are no plans for it to be in the final cut.
Metriacanthosaurus[]
In the original script for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Owen Grady would be confronted by a Metriacanthosaurus, Carnotaurus, and an Allosaurus in a standoff before a Mount Sibo erupts. The species had previously been mentioned as present in the original Jurassic Park but never seen, much like Baryonyx in the same film. However, Metriacanthosaurus was cut as Universal didn't want young children mistaking it for Allosaurus or Tyrannosaurus rex.
Pachycephalosaurus[]
Pachycephalosaurus was supposed to appear in the movie but it was scrapped since Colin Trevorrow confirmed that there was no plan for it to be in the final cut. It was also replaced by Stygimoloch.
Pachyrhinosaurus[]
Originally in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, the Pachyrhinosaurus was supposed to occupy the role of the Sinoceratops. However, Jack Horner, the series' scientific consultant observed that the model was closer in resemblance to that of Sinoceratops and asked the filmmakers to change the name.
However, the model is occasionally referred to as Pachyrhinosaurus during the marketing and in the background of the film, and the latter references, if not seen as misidentification, could suggest the species is extant. It is rumoured to appear in the 2024 series; Jurassic World: Chaos Theory.
Peloroplites[]
Peloroplites was planned to appear in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom as a new ankylosaur with Ankylosaurus, but it was cut and show as a carcass and a skeleton.
Spinosaurus[]
Spinosaurus was planned to be in a cameo role in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom where the same individual from Jurassic Park III dies after a volcano bomb crashes into it, but was cut. In other concepts, was also planned to have a rematch with Tyrannosaurus rex.
Styracosaurus[]
In earlier adaptations of the Fallen Kingdom script, Styracosaurus was originally planned to occupy the role of Sinoceratops. This was cut in favour of Einiosaurus, then Pachyrhinosaurus and eventually Sinoceratops.
Teratophoneus/Tyrannosaur[]
In an early draft for the film, an unidentified tyrannosaur that could be Teratophoneus was seen running from the erupting volcano. It takes a look at Claire Dearing and Franklin Webb and roars at them before being killed by a meteor. Teratophoneus is also depicted in this way in a concept art featuring Parasaurolophus, Camarasaurus, Einiosaurus, and the Gyrosphere. The dinosaur didn't make into the final cut as it was replaced by Allosaurus and is instead seen as a corpse.
Dinosaurs cut from Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous[]
See: Category:Animals Cut from Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous
Acrocanthosaurus[]
In some early drafts for Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, there are many dinosaurs which Bumpy would be. Among the carnivores planned was Acrocanthosaurus, but the Ankylosaurus was chosen instead.
Apatosaurus[]
In an early concept art of the series, Apatosaurus were part of the dinosaur stampede the campers run into. However, like Jurassic Park and The Lost World, they were cut and being replaced by Brachiosaurus. It later appeared in Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous: Hidden Adventure though.
Aquilops[]
The sixth scrapped hybrid has DNA of Aquilops. Whenever it was planned to appear in the series like Ouranosaurus is unknown.

- Ankylosaurus + Kentrosaurus
- Yutyrannus + Rugops + Cassowary
- Baryonyx + Deinocheirus + Concavenator
- Pachycephalosaurus + Ouranosaurus + Aquilops
Concavenator[]
The fifth hybrid has DNA of Concavenator, yet it is currently unknown if this theropod was supposed to be in Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous like Dilophosaurus, who appear in the fourth and fifth season.
Cryolophosaurus[]
In some early draft for Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, Bumpy was once planned to be a Cryolophosaurus but it was replaced by an Ankylosaurus.
Deinocheirus[]
The fifth scrapped hybrid has DNA of Deinocheirus, yet it is unknown if it was planned to appear in the series.
Diabloceratops[]

Lambeosaurus[]
The second scrapped hybrid has DNA of Lambeosaurus, yet it is unknown if it was planned to appear in the series like Ouranosaurus.
Maiasaura[]
Bumpy was planned to be a Maiasaura but the dinosaur was scrapped again in favour of the Ankylosaurus. There were also concepts of adult Maiasaura, and colour designs. This makes Maiasaura the most cut species in the franchise.
Nothronychus[]
The first scrapped hybrid has DNA of Nothronychus, yet it is unknown if the animal was planned to appear in the series like Dilophosaurus, Kentrosaurus, and Ouranosaurus.
Pachycephalosaurus[]
In some early drafts for Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, Bumpy was supposed to be a different type of herbivore that include Ankylosaurus, Maiasaura, Pachycephalosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Protoceratops, and Styracosaurus. Ankylosaurus was ultimately chosen in the final cut.
Protoceratops[]
In some early drafts for Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, Bumpy was originally planned to be a Protoceratops among other creatures, but it was scrapped and replaced with Ankylosaurus.
Psittacosaurus[]
The second scrapped hybrid has DNA of Psittacosaurus, yet it is unknown if the dinosaur was planned to appear in the series like Ouranosaurus.
Rugops[]
The fourth scrapped hybrid has DNA of Rugops, like the Indominus rex. It is unknown if the animal was planned to appear in the series like Dilophosaurus, Kentrosaurus, and Ouranosaurus.
Sauropelta[]
The second scrapped hybrid DNA of Sauropelta, yet it is unknown if the animal was planned to appear in the series like Kentrosaurus, who appeared in the fourth season.
Styracosaurus[]
In an early concept art of the series, Styracosaurus was part of the dinosaur stampede that the campers run into. However, it didn't make it into the final cut. Bumpy was also supposed to be a Styracosaurus, but it was replaced by an Ankylosaurus.
Woolly Mammoth[]
According to the director of Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, the tundra biodome of Mantah Corp Island was planned to host a single, possibly multiple Woolly Mammoths. However, the mammal was soon scrapped as the idea was rejected.
Yutyrannus[]
In some early draft for Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, Bumpy was originally supposed to be a different types of carnivore that include Acrocanthosaurus, Carnotaurus, Ceratosaurus, Cryolophosaurus, and Yutyrannus. The carnivores were later scrapped in favor of the Ankylosaurus. It is shown accurately with feathers.
Zuniceratops[]
In an early concept art of the series, a dinosaur (possibly Zuniceratops) is seen running in a stampede right to a Styracosaurus. It was cut, but appeared in the Dino Escape toyline.
Dinosaurs Cut From Jurassic World: Dominion[]
See: Category:Animals Cut from Jurassic World: Dominion
Deinonychus[]
Deinonychus was intended to be one of the new raptors in the film along with Pyroraptor, but was replaced with Atrociraptor sometime during production. Eventually, concepts of Deinonychus were shown off with different colours, confirming that Atrociraptor served as their replacement.
Elk[]
A concept art featured a herd of Gallimimus drinking in a river with a group of actual elks. However, the elks were replaced by the introduced red deers.
Elmisaurus[]
Elmisaurus was planned to appear in a box at the black market according to the novelization, but it was scrapped. It possibly exists in Canon, as dealer Wigi asked Kayla to transport 50 Kilos of dinosaur, but is not mentioned by name.
Mamenchisaurus[]
Two giant sauropods resembling Mamenchisaurus was supposed to appear with a horde of Gallimimus, thus returning into the films since The Lost World: Jurassic Park, 25 years prior. However, they were scrapped and replaced by the increasingly popular Dreadnoughtus.
Microraptor[]
In the script for the Cretaceous flashback of Jurassic World: Dominion and possibly later in the movies, Microraptor was supposed to appear eating the dead carcass of Rexy after she was killed by the Giganotosaurus. However, it was scrapped and the dromaeosaur is replaced by the Moros intrepidus.
Ornithocheirus[]
In the script for the Cretaceous flashback of Jurassic World: Dominion and later in the movies, Ornithocheirus was planned to have the role of the Quetzalcoatlus, but the pterosaur was cut and replaced by the latter. It is inaccurately portrayed as being bigger than Pteranodons. Its appearance is possibly a reference to Walking With Dinosaurs, which was made during the time we thought Ornithocheirus to have a twelve metre wingspan.
Oviraptor[]
Despite appearing in Jurassic World: Dominion: The Prologue, it was cut from the film where it was going to fight the Lystrosaurus in the Malta illegal market scene where the synapsid kills it with a single bite. [1] It does still appear in the extended edition.
Pachycephalosaurus[]
Originally, Pachycephalosaurus was supposed to appear in a river scene of Biosyn Sanctuary where humans (possibly tourists) would have met two Brachiosaurus as well as a pair of Pachys. However, the dinosaur was cut from the final cut of the movie, alongside the accompanying scene.
Pachyrhinosaurus[]
Like in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Pachyrhinosaurus was cut from the film, either because four ceratopsians (Triceratops, Sinoceratops, Nasutoceratops and Microceratus) are enough. Interestingly, it has an accurate model unlike the previous movie. Based on the concept, it would've been a reddish-brown with dark stripes.
Plesiosaurus[]
In an earlier script for Jurassic World: Dominion, Plesiosaurus was intended to appear in the movie (possibly in a Loch Ness lake scene). However, the plesiosaur ended up being cut.
Spinosaurus[]
According to a podcast for Jurassic World: Dominion, the Spinosaurus from Jurassic Park III was intended to return in the final movie in some scenes, especially the final battle where it would fight the Giganotosaurus alongside Rexy. However, the carnivore was cut again, being replaced by the Buck and Doe Tyrannosaurus couple (who do still appear in the film, however) and then the Therizinosaurus.
Suchomimus[]
Concept art exists of a Suchomimus and Carnotaurus in Malta as people run away. The Suchomimus was cut again, presumably replaced by an Allosaurus. According to some people, this is allegedly an adult Baryonyx featured in the art rather than its fractionally larger African relative. Despite this, Suchomimus is rumored to appear in Netflix’s upcoming series Jurassic World Chaos Theory in summer of 2024.
Also, it can be noted that the base skin for the Suchomimus in Jurassic World Evolution 2 resembles that of the spinosaurid in the aforementioned concept art.
Toro[]
It was also said, that a specific individual Carnotaurus, Toro, was going to be in the film, but he was replaced by the individual seen at the end of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. (whom fans refer to as Demon after the Kenner toy)
