Ekrixinatosaurus Wild Roar
Ekrixinatosaurus is a short-snouted predator from Argentina whose bones turned up after a blast during road building, which is how it got its name, explosion-born lizard. Mattel added it to the first Wild Roar wave of Jurassic World Epic Evolution as a grey-brown abelisaur with pale blue markings, a roar sound and an attack motion. Here is what the figure looks like, the story of the explosion, and how to unlock it in the Jurassic World Play App.

Dig Report: Born From a Blast
Most fossils are found by careful digging. Ekrixinatosaurus was uncovered by an explosion.
It is one of the few dinosaurs whose name tells the story of its discovery rather than its looks.
What Is Wild Roar?
Wild Roar is the mid-sized assortment of Mattel’s Epic Evolution line. Each figure has a roaring sound, an attack motion and movable joints, and runs on small button cell batteries. Like every Epic Evolution figure, it comes with a DNA code that unlocks the animal in the Jurassic World Play App.
Ekrixinatosaurus came in the first Wild Roar wave of Epic Evolution, alongside Gryposuchus, Megalosaurus and Hesperosaurus.
Paint and Colours
A muted, stony scheme. The body is grey-brown with rough skin, pale blue stripes run across the neck and shoulders, and the throat and lower jaw are cream. The head is a darker grey with rows of bumps.
Sculpt and Detail
Head and jaw
The skull is short and deep, typical of abelisaurs, with bumps and ridges on top and an opening jaw.
