Indominus Rex Reference

Owen didn't really know how to deal with the fact that he couldn't keep his utahraptors at bay in this body. While his german shepherd body left him vulnerable, it did pack a punch when facing people his size. His sleep that night had been restless, stressed, his body tossing and turning with a desperate twitch to it. He wanted to help his clan, but his pack meant everything to him. They meant to world to Owen, and he wasn't going to just let Sunhaven punish his children.

Some could call Owen insane, but he called himself overprotective of his young.

He had raised the girls himself, had fed them, had taken them on their first hunt, had trained them, but it was so, so easy for them to turn against him the moment they were offered freedom. Betrayal, something Owen didn't exactly like, but he was fighting with nature's laws at that point. He was betraying the very thing that the forces of nature didn't like, helping dinosaurs survive in a time they weren't meant to.

His girls were created through genetics, through machines and encased like dogs waiting for a hunt. They were put in cages, then put in enclosures, where they were trained and raised from young hatchees. Owen didn't know what InGen wanted to do with the raptors until the time was too late, until they had wheeled them out with machines attached to their bodies, restricting them of the freedom they so loved and adored and craved.

He had betrayed them, as well, by taking their freedom away at that time.

From then on, he promised himself he wouldn't keep them in an enclosure or restrict them from being wild, from being free. But that came with a price.

Owen's body shifted once more in his sleep, a soft groan escaping his maw as bones cracked, a pained whimper escaping him before his bones began to shift, skin stretching and shifting into something he despised. Something his girls despised.

The male had opened his eyes, unable to sleep anymore through the pain of what felt like his joints aching. He went to stand up on all of his paws, surprisingly falling onto his face in the process. Wait- what? Owen's amber eyes traveled down to look at his arms- wait, he has arms?

Owen seemed to slightly freak out at the sight of claws- of talons, sharp and menacing, clenching closed as he sat up. What the fuck? Owen shakily stood up, his form pushing through the forest, past his girls nest, to look into a lake of water. His eyes widened at the sight.

He wasn't a german shepherd- or a dog at all. Owen still had his black and brown colorings, but he wasn't a canine anymore. He was something he feared the most. Something that had taken his girls away once.

An indominus rex, 5 ft tall in height, 10 ft long from head to tail. He was a hefty thing, but smaller than the indo-rex which Blue and her sisters had fought against with Rexxie the T-Rex. Owen's mouth opened, his teeth glittering under the cold moon that shone in the night. He examined the spines, the spikes, down his back, the horns atop his head. Everything was so weird. He was so much smaller than that other Indo-rex..

Fuck, Delta and Charlie weren't going to like this.

Why did he shift in the first place?

Owen was surprised when Delta had shown up, and was only slightly expecting her to attack. But not like this. Not with sharp claws raking down tough skin. Not when he had just shifted, unused to this body as a whole. "Not stranger. Alpha." He babbled back in frustration, his long, thick tail swinging despite the pain in his shoulder from Delta's attack on him. A loud roar erupted from the male, however such was an accident. "Are you kidding me? Now of all time? A roar?" Owen spoke aloud, standing up from his place in the water to roughly attempt to use his tail to smack Delta away from him. If this was successful, he'd let out a loud roar of warning, his own talons shifting and clenching together to even more frustration.

Why was this happening now of all times? He slightly hoped they would know it was him. The broadcasting call that Delta sent out meant clearly that Charlie would come soon as well, and two grown utahraptors weren't too easy to take on when he was this size. Still, he had the jaw force and tail length to fight back, he'd try his best until they realized it was him.

Owen felt claws rake at his back, making him wince in slight discomfort. The skin on his back was harder, pointed with spikes. Maybe delta wasn't thinking much, but that wasn't a good idea to cling onto his back. With an upward glance at Lucifer, the indominus rex attempted to quickly roll over with the motive to crush Delta under him, the spikes down his spine proving to be painful if the attack worked. "Nope, they won't understand it's me until I get it through their thick skulls!" Owen grunted as he let out a loud snarl of warning for Delta. "New body. I am Owen." The indo-rex babbled angrily, grunting as he rolled back onto his feet soon after his attack, whether or not it hit.
