How To Make Custom Dinosaurs In Lego Jurassic World

Okay, confession time. I may or may not have spent an entire afternoon last week trying to create a Lego dinosaur that looked like a chicken… wearing a tiny top hat. Don't judge me! It's harder than it looks, alright? And it all started because I realized just how ridiculously awesome the custom dinosaur creator is in Lego Jurassic World.

Seriously, who doesn't love mashing together a T-Rex head with a Stegosaurus tail? It's the kind of glorious, chaotic fun that only Lego games can provide. So, if you're ready to unleash your inner Dr. Frankenstein (but with more colorful plastic bricks), let's dive into how you can make your own custom dinosaurs in Lego Jurassic World.

Unlocking the Power: Amber Bricks and the Innovation Center

First things first: you can't just waltz in and start building your dino dreams. You need to unlock the ability to create them. This involves two key ingredients: Amber Bricks and the Innovation Center.

Amber Bricks are scattered throughout the game's various levels and free roam areas. Keep your eyes peeled! They're usually hidden in breakable objects, requiring you to use specific characters with certain abilities (like smashing with a strong character or cutting vines with a clawed character). Think of it as a treasure hunt, but with more Lego studs. Pro tip: Use a guide if you're stuck! No shame in that game.

Once you've collected enough Amber Bricks (the exact number varies), you'll need to head to the Innovation Center. This building acts as your dinosaur creation hub. You'll find it on Isla Nublar, where the original Jurassic Park was meant to be.

Dino DNA: Mixing and Matching

Alright, you're inside the Innovation Center, Amber Bricks in hand. Now the real fun begins! You'll be presented with a screen where you can select different dinosaur parts. This is where your imagination gets to run wild. I'm talking about:

• Heads: T-Rex, Velociraptor, Triceratops... the classics!
• Bodies: From sleek and agile to bulky and armored.
• Tails: Spiked, clubbed, feathery... the possibilities are endless!
• Special Abilities: Adding cool features like spitting venom or roaring super loud.

Each part comes from a specific dinosaur, and by combining them, you're essentially creating a genetic chimera (but way less ethically questionable, because, you know, it's Lego). Pay attention to the stud cost associated with each part. You'll need to spend studs to unlock them, so save up!

(Side note: I highly recommend experimenting with different combinations. You might stumble upon some truly hilarious results.)

Naming Your Creation: Claiming Your Masterpiece

Once you've assembled your perfect (or perfectly absurd) dinosaur, it's time to give it a name. This is your chance to be creative! Will you name it "Terror Chicken," "Sparkle Rex," or something even more outlandish? The choice is yours.

This is important, this name will be displayed on the screen when you select your custom dino. Make it a good one. This isn't like naming your first pet rock when you're 8, it actually matters... at least, it matters to you.

Unleashing Your Dino on the World (or the Game)

Now that you've created and named your dino, you can finally unleash it upon the game world! You can use your custom dinosaur in free roam, exploring the islands and causing (mostly harmless) mayhem.

Keep in mind that certain areas may require specific dinosaur abilities to access, so experiment with different combinations to unlock all the secrets the game has to offer. And don't forget to show off your creations to your friends! Bragging rights are a very real thing in the Lego Jurassic World community.

Final Thoughts: Go Wild!

The custom dinosaur creator in Lego Jurassic World is a testament to the game's playful spirit. It encourages experimentation, rewards creativity, and provides endless hours of entertainment. So, don't be afraid to go wild! Embrace the chaos, mash up those dinosaur parts, and create something truly unique. After all, who knows? Maybe your "Chicken Rex" will become a legend.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have some serious dinosaur-naming decisions to make.
