The Indoraptor first appears when the eco-terrorist Hoskins uses a device to awaken Indoraptor from the Indoraptor enclosure where she has been resting for 2 years. Once Shadow the indoraptor is out of the enclosure, the InGen team attack Indoraptor so that she will come closer to Indominus rex, planning that they would kill each other. Indoraptor chases after Owen, Killing all the members of the InGen team in the process. Indoraptor enters the forest and battles Indominus rex While Shadow manages to last about a minute gets a few hits in, Indominus rex easily defeats Shadow by restraining her arms with the right one and left one then blasting her with the middle one causing Shadow to fall in the ocean. Indominus sisters arrives to volcano in which Shadow arrives to Indominus sisters and becomes her minion, showing her loyalty by bowing to Indominus rex. Shadow and the rest of Indominus rex's minions go on a lengthy massacre throughout the Island on Indominus rex's orders.
In the park,Shadow manages to enter the lab, and she gives chase to everyone in the area. Hoskins is cornered by indoraptor, and he tries to convince Shadow that they are on the same side. The indoraptor is intent on attacking Hoskins due to being brainwashed by the Indominus rex and because Shadow hated Hoskins since their first meet, she takes no notice of Hoskins's pleas for mercy and kills him.

Rexy vs Spino[]
Shadow is confirmed to appear in this fan-film
Personality[]
The Indoraptor was an aggressive and violent hybrid who apparently inherited the acute intellect of the Indominus and violent tendencies.
There are some distinctions in her behavior compared to that of the Indominus, though. While the psychopathic nature of the Indominus seemed to be expressed in a state of perpetual anger and her attacks were her lashing out, the Indoraptor had a twisted sense of humor and took amusement in her actions, unlike the Indominus rex, who killed entirely for sport, she did seem to occasionally hunt for food.
Nonetheless, she still very much loved viciously killing those that were helpless against her, so much that even Wu described her as sociopathic and psychotic.
Shadow the Indoraptor is a real showwoman who actively puts time into frightening her prey and enjoys hunting humans as they can act as an audience for her behavior. Like an emotionally-deprived child, the Indoraptor hunts for attention and validation just as much as for meat. She finds regular animal prey boring as it doesn't appreciate the effort she puts into being intimidating.
The malicious nature, coupled with the ruthless tendencies she possessed, was slightly influenced from mental conditioning where she would lock on to a target if it was marked with an infrared laser and only allowed to attack when the target exposed to a high-frequency pulse beam. The method to control her contrasted to that of Blue, who was trained by Owen with trust and affection, which allowed Blue to better control her violent tendencies and distinguishing friend from foe.
Like most of the other Dinosaurs, Shadow has an honorable side to her, in which she follows the strongest among the dinosaurs, believing that the one who is the most powerful is the alpha. This is seen when she bowed down to Rexy and Blue, after she had defeated Indominus rex, who had usurped the title from her.

Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
- Indoraptor Physiology: As a Dinosaur, Shaodw is incredibly powerful; as she possesses various physical and supernatural attributes that surpasses that of most other dinosaurs.
- Advanced Durability: She is also completely immune to conventional weaponry such as gunfire or missile strikes.
- Advanced Strength and Combat: Shadow can use her beak and sharp claws as weapons for combat as they can easily crush soilders and even used her claws to knock off the some members of the InGen team she was attacking.
- Advanced Stamina: Shadow possesses far more stamina then most other dinosaurs; allowing her to remain physically active for long periods of time.
- Enhanced Strength: Being significantly larger in size than a normal Velociraptor granted the Indoraptor enough levels of strength to carry two fully-grown humans with her mouth and arms without any difficulty.
- Enhanced Speed: Despite her size and weight, the Indoraptor was just as fast as any Velociraptor as seen by her ability to jump at impressive heights and race across whole rooms in a short time. When accelerating, she often dropped down on all fours and ran akin to a feline or canine.
- Enhanced Agility: Despite her size and weight, the Indoraptor was as agile as any Velociraptor .
- Enhanced Durability: The thick hide of the Indoraptor enabled her to resist tranquilizer darts and deflect bullets from an assault rifle at point-blank range. Attacks from Blue didn't slow her down either. According to the junior novelization of the movie, it took 3 shots of tranquilizer darts to truly knock the Indoraptor out.
- Echolocation: Much like dolphins, bats, and other animals, the Indoraptor could use a sonar-like system to detect and locate objects by emitting high-pitched sounds that reflect off the object and return to the hybrid's ears, allowing her to locate prey in the darkest of areas and perform well as a predator regardless of the time of day.
- Enhanced Intelligence: Having the DNA of the Indominus rex and a Velociraptor respectively, the hybrid proved to be as intelligent as both dinosaurs, if not more intelligent, when she made her escape.
- Enhanced Senses: Her sense of smell proved to be a great attribute for hunting, being able to search for prey in dark places, possibly exhibiting night vision. She showed how good her senses were again when she managed to locate Hoskins in the lab.
- Stealth: Perhaps her most disturbing trait was her ability to move with silence even in pitch black conditions, as seen when Owen switched off the lights in a room so the creature couldn't track him, Claire,Zach and Gray by sight, with only the sound of her tapping toe claw giving her away. However, she seemed to lack the Indominus rex's camouflaging abilities, which would've supported her stealthiness.
