Bumpy is a female Ankylosaurus and the main dinosaur protagonist in the Netflix/DreamWorks Series, Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous. She is also the mother of Smoothie in Jurassic World: Chaos Theory.
Appearance[]
Bumpy, like a typical Ankylosaurus is a quadrupedal dinosaur with a spiky exterior and clubbed tail. Her colors consist of a teal blue for the overlayer, cream for the underlayer and yellow for the eyes. Due to being born prematurely, she has one horn larger than the other as a birth defect. As a Baby and Juvenile, she's extremely small and has little bumps on her back and head instead of spikes. As she grew into her adolescent stage she looks much more mature and her methods for defense have become visibly sharper and stronger.
Personality[]
Bumpy is an affectionate animal, always loving the attention she gets from her friends. Although that affectionate nature may come from other sources, such as Yasmina gifting her with snacks. Bumpy is also a powerful and loyal fighter, protecting her loved ones when they need her assistance, even if they might not be on the best terms, like Ben(when he scared her away as a baby)and Sammy. As she can't talk, Bumpy commonly signals with with her tail when messaging her group, for example, when she smacks it on the ground like a hammer, she is either sensing danger or is constipated. Although she seems tough on the outside, she's very compassionate and caring, comforting her friends when they are down, and trying to stop fights between her friends when it gets to far. When Bumpy and Ben were separated from the team, Bumpy was his emotional support animal and bodyguard. She knew that Ben acted cowardly most of the time, and wouldn't live out in the wilderness unless he was taken care of, so out of the good in Bumpy's heart she never had a problem with staying near Ben at all times, comforting him when necessary and protecting him when needed. Although that may be the case with her personality towards others, she always has some sort of a fighting spirit in all of her appearances, so that soft-hearted individual doesn't always show itself.
Powers and Skills[]
Ankylosaurus Physiology:[]
Bumpy is an Ankylosaurus, which is a dinosaur that specializes in defense with its bony and spiky overlayer, tough enough to completely counter all of the physical attacks of a Scorpius Rex. In the offensive department , Bumpy has a club-like tail to fight back against predators, enemies and whatever else can come her way. Due to its shape and texture, the blow can knock down dinosaurs as big as a Carnotaurus.
Intelligence:[]
Bumpy was shown to be more intelligent than other Dinosaurs in the series, she's able to understand human commands, show sign language with her tail and understand what her human partners are feeling and shows emotional support when they're negative. This behavior is similar to an emotional support dog.
Mind Control Resistance:[]
Similar to Toothless in How to Train Your Dragon 2, Bumpy was able to resist villainous mind control that completely affected other members of her society. When she saw Ben crying in Season 5, she was able to partially block the commands and freeze in a specific position. She can at least do it for a few minutes, which gave Kenji an opening to destroy the controller.
Agility:[]
As an Adult, Bumpy has a moderately fast speed, considering how big and heavy she is. She can catch up to vehicles, run away from dinosaurs and escape explosions. This was originally her hindering factor as a juvenile.
Weaknesses[]
Mobility Issues(When Young):[]
During her earlier stages in life, Bumpy was a hindrance to the group due to how slow she was. This caused her to be carried by her caretakers commonly, however, due to her weight, Bumpy slowed the group down. Causing her to be in dangerous situations many times.
Stress:[]
When Bumpy's stressed, she may be a hindrance to herself or others. As a Juvenile, she squealed when she was under stress, which revealed the Nublar Six's hiding spot to dangerous dinosaurs. In her mature stages, Bumpy would unintentionally hit her friends with her tail, like when she sensed the Scorpius Rex heading to the Campsite. Also fighting large packs of individuals is a problem when she's in that state, like during her first confrontation with the DPW, she was immediately captured due to "Pregnancy Stress".
Huge Size:[]
Bumpy is an Ankylosaurus, a dinosaur that was huge in the series, and because of that she couldn't fit into small spaces. This wasn't an issue for most of the series, until "Casa de Kenji" when dinosaurs were invading the penthouse. Due to how big she was, she couldn't fit through the door and had to alert the Campers with her tail. Bumpy could've easily beaten them if she had the chance.
Positive Relationships[]
Ben Pincus[]
"No matter what happens, I forgive you Bumper Car."—Ben
Current Status: Best Friends[]
Ben is Bumpy's best friend and original caretaker after the Indominus' reign over Nublar.

Similar to Toothless and Hiccup, Ben and Bumpy would never intentionally hurt each other, and if they did, both sides of the relationship would always forgive each other.

In Chaos Theory, Sammy became Bumpy's caretaker and she was extremely loyal to her, shown by immediately leaving for her pen after she was told to.

After Bumpy got older, she got her revenge as she fought him and pushed Toro off a cliff. The dinosaur knew not to disturb her anymore so they left each other alone as the series continued.
