The Big One is the secondary antagonist of Jurassic Park.
History[]
Rise to Leadership[]
When the Big One came in she took over the pride and killed all but two of the other raptors. She commanded her two remaining subordinates to attack the security fencing. Muldoon claimed that in comparison to the other raptors, the Big One had an extremely high problem-solving intelligence, remembering the location of certain weak spots in the fencing and where feeders would come to feed the animals as stated.[1]
As a result, the raptors had to be transported into a special holding pen to be fed by an automated feeding system to make sure they stayed in.
While being transported for the holding pen, it was theorized that she attacked and killed an InGen employee. This prompted the worker's family to file a lawsuit against the company, and it successfully scares InGen's investors into thinking that the Jurassic Park is unsafe.[1]
Additionally, Robert Muldoon expressed concern that the Velociraptors would escape.
Breakout[]
When the electricity power was cut by Dennis Nedry during the Isla Nublar Incident, Nedry's computer confirmed that the Raptor pen was still active, as Nedry knew full well how much of a threat the Raptors were.[1]
Later, when the staff decided to reboot the power to purge the computer system of Nedry's virus, it inadvertently shut down the fences in the Raptors' holding pen as well. Unknown to the survivors, the three Raptors realized they had an opportunity and broke out of confinement, as Muldoon was afraid they would.[1] He and Ellie realized that the Velociraptors escaped when they went to reboot the power, and realized they were in serious danger.
The Big One and The Medium One then killed and eat both Ray Arnold and Robert Muldoon, but before they could proceeded to kill the other survivors, they were stopped and got killed by Rexy before they could even kill them.
None of the raptors, including the Big One, survived the incident. After The Medium One was killed by Rexy, The Big One then pounced on the large predator while she was eating her subordinate, allowing the group she so relentlessly pursued to finally escape. As The Big One clawed into her, Rexy shook The Big One into her mouth where she proceeded to shake the raptor until she was lifeless before throwing her into the nearby Tyrannosaur skeleton the Visitor Center had (smashing it in the process) and letting out a triumphant roar.[2]
Movie Quotes[]
- "They show extraordinary intelligence, even problem-solving intelligence. Especially The Big One. We bred eight originally, but when she came in she took over the pride and killed all but two of the others. That one... when she looks at you, you can see she's working things out." — Muldoon
- "Clever Girl"- Muldoon's last words before being devoured.
Behind the scenes[]
The Big One was rather interesting among the named dinosaurs in the franchise because despite being popular with fans, she has no unique physical characteristics and most of her biography is merely speculated. It is popularly believed that she was the raptor responsible for the demise of Jophery Brown and later Robert Muldoon as well as being the raptor that survived the kitchen and gave Rexy her signature scars.
