Rexy is a T. Rex from Jurassic Park, actually the one and only T. Rex from Jurassic Park. Rexy is a female, who was to be the main attraction in Isla Nublar. In the demo ride, they try to bait Rexy with a goat, but Rexy likes to hunt, not be fed. We see her appear first when things start going to shit. She dispatches impact tremors as her hair-raising herald. Then she chases Ellie, Malcolm and Muldoon in an epic car chase sequence.
At the climax, Ellie, Grant and the kids are cornered by the three raptors who really are on the verge of building a spaceship and going to the Moon. This is when Rexy steps in, and literally becomes the hero of JP.
Now Rexy does not show up in the two JP sequels, although both movies do feature T. rexes. The family of T. rexes in The Lost World: Jurassic Park (JP2) is from Isla Sorna. The lone adult male T. rex in JP3 is unrelated to the family from JP2. Rexy then appears in Jurassic World, Fallen Kingdom, and Dominion. Rexy appears during the climax of Jurassic World. She battles and takes down the Indominus Rex, and pushes it into the jaws of the Mosasaurus.
Then Rexy shows up right at the start of Fallen Kingdom. Here again, something similar happens. She attacks one of the mercs, they escape, but then the Mosasaurus gets him. Rexy is moving fast with strobe lighting, so had to play back at 50 per cent speed to capture this.
Then in the climax, Rexy ends up killing and eating Eli Mills, the villain of the movie, then escapes into the wild.
Rexy also shows up in Dominion, in the climax. This means that Biosyn tracked her down, caught her, and then moved her to BioSyn Valley in Italy. This part is not shown in the movies, but is shown in Jurassic World: Chaos Theory.... right in the fourth season, which is actually season 8 if you consider Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous as well. There are Big Eatie and Small Eatie in Camp Cretaceous, which are different from the T. rex fam shown in JP2. If anyone is keeping count, that makes a total of seven T. rexes in the franchise, Rexy from JP Buck, Doe and Junior from JP2, the 'Bull' T. rex from JP3, and Big Eatie and Small Eatie from Camp Cretaceous. Here is Rexy in S4e1 of Chaos Theory.
The season takes place at the same time as Dominion actually, and this scene takes place after Soyona is apprehended by French Intelligence, and before Kayla reaches Biosyn Valley on her plane with Owen and Claire. Even the Therizinosaurus shows up in Chaos Theory, if it did not, that would be as wasted as the Mososaur in Camp Cretaceous. Here is Rexy in Dominion, recreating the iconic logo from JP, that kickstarted the whole franchise.
At the end of Dominion, Rexy is presumably the apex predator of Biosyn Valley. But actually, a little more of this story is revealed by Chaos Theory. Biosyn captured the Buck and Doe as well (where is Junior?), and we get to see Rexy, Buck and Doe all together at once chasing away raptors troubling the Nublar Six. This mirrors the ending of the first movie, demonstrating that the T. rexes are the real heroes of the franchise.
