DINOSAUR ASSET FILES-COMPSOGNATHUS

Now you probably already know this, but I love the Jurassic Franchise.
And because I'm such a fanboy, I'm super hyped for the next installment of this beloved franchise: Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom
So, to keep this hype-train rolling, I've decided to make files explaining the dinosaurs of Isla Nublar/Sorna, explaining how they behave, how much of their genetic code was altered by Ingen Scientists, and how they compare to their original counterparts.

One thing to note- I'll also be adjusting them slightly, like adding little bits of feathers here or there.
(mainly because I find it difficult to draw dinosaur without at least some form of proto-feathers)

For the twenty-ninth creature on our list, I've decided to showcase perhaps the smallest and most adaptable of all ingen's assets...
called: "DINOSAUR-ASSET" FILES-14
Carnivore file File- "ingen's ankle biters"

otherwise known as Compsognathus Pestilencius Ingensis

For today's post, I've decided to tackle a dinosaur that wasn't a giant, hefty brute but instead a tiny, seemingly timid and kinda cute little theropod, perhaps the smallest theropod that ever made it onto ingen's list....

I give you the COMPSOGNATHUS (AKA- "Compies) from the lost world, JP3 and soon to be featuring in Jurassic World fallen kingdom.

Now, when It comes to asking what the smallest of ingen's assets are, people usually point to either microceratus or compies, but in terms of which one of those two tend to be more popular, the answer is obviously compies, given that not only do they feature in the second, third and soon to feature in the fifth film, but since the very begining, they have played big roles in the novels, the video games (such as Jurassic park SEGA, Jurassic park SEGA: Rampage edition, the Lost world SEGA, DNA factor, Jurassic Park:warpath, dino-defender, danger-zone, Jurassic park builder and most recently Lego Jurassic World). And it was because of this (and the fact that it'snot that far off it's ancestor) that made it rather difficult to organise an asset-file around...

But after much deliberation, I've finally figured out how to showcase it...
But before we get to where it fits into the overall story...some of you may be wondering how it compares to its ancestor...
well, apart from the consistent nitpick details (wrists, lack of feathers, only two fingers instead of three) it is surprisingly close it's ancestor.
It's rather bird-like in it's movements, to the point that it pretty much is a small green bird. (kinda what Cathy Bowman called it, but I'll get to that later).

Now that is out of the way, it's time to talk about how it fits into the franchise story...
Much like the Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, "nublar-raptors", brachiosaurus, baryonyx, Stegosaurus, Parasaurolophus, pachycephalosaurus etc, these little creatures were part of the first major "generation". And they were bred in 1987 at the eastern ingen sorna-facility. It's unknown as to whether or not they were planned for the first park, but it's documented that they were kept, mainly as an effective way to clean up the other dinosaur's excrement. And it was because of this that Ingen let them loose into the Sorna holding pens, blind from their confidence with the idea that, being all female, they couldn't breed.

But thanks to the DNA of a certain frog, allowing the ability of gender change...they were perhaps the first to start breeding in secret, partly due to the detection systems only searching for the expected 47 compies with tracking collars, not 435. And so, for over 6 and a half years, they (and several other species) continued to multiply, secretly creeping into the wilds of isla sorna, devasting native animals like muskrats. And unbeknownst to ingen, some even stowed away on ships that were transporting assets to isla nublar, setting up a hidden population the dense foliage of the jungle to the south.

And when the incident of 1993 (also known as Hurricane Clarrisa) caused ingen to abandon both islands, the power went out and the previously contained assets (including the captive compies) escaped into the jungles of Nublar and Sorna. And without the presence of Humans, and with their food source radius increased by 20 fold, the population of ingen's compies exploded across the las Cinco muretas, replacing the native ground-based ecosystem wherever they went. And with some groups, they developed a strange method of hunting. Unlike their ancestors, they were were able to digest the poisonous insects, without any ill effects, and some even retained the secretions in their saliva, allowing them to take on larger crippled prey (including humans) with a sort of "pseudo-venom" that gave the effect of a strong narcotic, in that it disorientates and numbs their victims, making it hard for the injured prey to fight back. This allow the compies to work together in larger groups when stalking a potential meal.

In the storyline, we see two big cases where these little nippers have attacked (or even killed) humans... Such encounters have had far-reaching consequences for ingen, the most famous of which took place in the spring of 1997, where the young girl named “Cathy Bowman” was attacked by a pack of compies on the shores of isla sorna. She survived but had ended up with many deep scars and infected bites...It just so happened that she was the daughter of a wealthy family, who then went on to basically sue ingen for the incident and that lead to John Alfred Parker Hammond losing his role of the company, in favor of his snarky nephew, Peter Ludlow.

Another incident that we see on-screen happened to the be the death of Deiter Stark, who whilst going into the bushes to relive himself, encounters a small compie hissing at him. It seems to have maybe been the same individual that he had zapped with a taser earilar in the film, or perhaps a close relative. But point is that what follows is a good case of "karma" as he heads up getting lost in the forest (as nobody is calling out to him) and ambushed by the "ankle-biters", given a large dosage of the pseudo-venom, and then being chased deeper and deeper into the forest, until he could no longer fight off their collective fury.

All that being said, their varied diet, fast reproduction and their "pseudo-venom", they are perhaps the most ADAPTABLE of all ingen's assets...to the point that some had even managed to secretly make it to the mainland, spreading into the rainforest of South America.
No-one is sure what the long-term effects of these adaptable creatures invading our world, but if nothing is done, then it will be likely that they will be here LONG after us.

Update June 2018- Whilst it's true that a majority of the nublar population died out when mount Sibo erupted, that has done VERY little to hinder these little critter's survival.
In fact, there are rumors that over fifty-nine individuals stowed on board the ship: "Arcadia" and now they are spreading g like wildfire throughout the Californian wilderness, just like their South American counterparts.
