Jurassic World's now famous genetically engineered hybrid dinosaur may have just received a serious name change. Instagram user jurassic_world2015 has posted an updated product listing for the upcoming Jurassic World toyline, revealing with it that the genetically modified hybrid, which was rumored for a long time to have been named the Diabolus Rex or D-Rex, has been renamed to the Indominus Rex, which translates into "Untamable or Fierce King."

It was rumored for a while that the genetically engineered dinosaur had received a name change, but no solid evidence of any such alteration had presented itself until now. The updated product listing, along with the Indominus Rex name reveal, also shows off a few of the products we can expect in the oncoming months as we approach the release of the highly anticipated Colin Trevorrow-directed film. Check it out for yourself below:

What do you guys think of the name change? Does Indominus Rex sound as terrifying as the Diabolus Rex? Or is it more terrifiying? Sound off with your thoughts below!

Steven Spielberg returns to executive produce the long-awaited next installment of his groundbreaking Jurassic Park series, Jurassic World. Colin Trevorrow directs the epic action-adventure from a screenplay he wrote with Derek Connolly. Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley join the team as producers.

Director: Colin Trevorrow

Here come the complaints

themidnightking - 1/8/2015, 7:36 AM

That's so gangsta

MCUsDarkKnight - 1/8/2015, 7:38 AM

Diabolus Rex sounds [frick]ing gay so yeah the change is nice

SpiderFraud - 1/8/2015, 7:40 AM

I like the change.

blackandyellow - 1/8/2015, 7:43 AM

Genetically modified hybrid dinosaurs? Chris Pratt taming raptors? This movie sounds awful.

YeezusWept - 1/8/2015, 7:44 AM

Yeah, "Diabolus" was pretty ass. Sounds like a rejected Sith Lord from a SW prequel.

Scarilian - 1/8/2015, 7:45 AM

Sounds like this is going to be a parody...

"Doesn't that mean the name is never actually said in the movie?"

Most likely, then again they'll probably just call it something generic like 'The Experiment'

spang2005 - 1/8/2015, 7:47 AM

iRex?

Nasseal82isback - 1/8/2015, 7:47 AM

Gustoraptor!

YeezusWept - 1/8/2015, 7:48 AM

All JP dinosaurs are genetically modified hybrids, technically. And raptor-trainer Peter Quill will be great. This movie will fail for other reasons.

Nasseal82isback - 1/8/2015, 7:48 AM

Gusto was already a deadly predator 65 millions years ago. Back than it was legal.

SpiderFraud - 1/8/2015, 7:48 AM

@blackandyellow

Why do you find those things to be awful for a Jurassic Park movie?

AlexdoxA - 1/8/2015, 7:50 AM

GustorapEtor...

iRex now in a Apple Store near you!

ZeoTV - 1/8/2015, 7:54 AM

not really jumping up and down about either name

Nasseal82isback - 1/8/2015, 7:54 AM

Nasseal82isback - 1/8/2015, 7:55 AM

I found Gusto's long time ex wife.

slickrickdesigns - 1/8/2015, 7:55 AM

Better than the Doyouthinkhesaurus and his dog the Doyouthinkhesaurus Rex…

NightWatcher - 1/8/2015, 7:55 AM

Fierce indeed.

imkennypowers - 1/8/2015, 7:56 AM

His name is Denver, right?!?

slickrickdesigns - 1/8/2015, 7:58 AM

Look its Miley stalking her prey!

Saga - 1/8/2015, 7:58 AM

In-universe it made sense for it to be called Diabolus, like "come to jurassic park kids! and meet the terrifying new adition to the park: the Diabolus Rex!

James99201 - 1/8/2015, 7:59 AM

Anyone else notice that hero mashers hybrid Dino? Sounds like they have been making more than just the new I-Rex

blackandyellow - 1/8/2015, 8:01 AM

SpiderFraud

Because they're cheesy as [frick]. You got a franchise that can literally use any dinosaur ever known and they have to create their own hybrid to up the ante? They're jumping the shark.

Demiurge - 1/8/2015, 8:02 AM

I'm one of the few who liked Diabolus Rex :)
Cheesy for sure, but it had a kind of pulp quality to it, too.
While its meaning is cool, Indominus Rex sounds too much like Ominous Rex, which is a little cartoony.

But who cares, really, as long as the dino itself looks dreadfully cool :)

imkennypowers - 1/8/2015, 8:05 AM

@drunkennukem

Chewtoy - 1/8/2015, 8:05 AM

Now it actually sounds like a scientific name and not something that should have tattooed flames down its side, so that's an improvement.

The full name would be easily enough to dub into any shot scenes with just a brief recording session with the actors... I'm sure they already have such time scheduled. If they knew they weren't 100% happy with the name while filming, they probably purposefully shot and edited any scene where someone says it in a way that would disguise the change.

TheArkhamKnight - 1/8/2015, 8:05 AM

Should have just called it Zilla
