The Jurassic Park franchise had portrayed three different dinosaurs as the major threats throughout its first three movies, the Velociraptors, the Tyrannosaurus Rex, and the Spinosaurus. These were all incredibly dangerous, and killed numerous people, but were all supposed to be trumped by the Indominus Rex.

The half T-Rex, half Velociraptor was unlike anything Isla Nublar or Isla Sorna had ever seen, killed for sport as well as for survival, and simply could not be predicted because it was the very first of its kind. However, there still had to be a way for the dinosaur to ultimately be vanquished.

Enter the leviathan that is the Mosasaurus. Introduced in the movie as part of a show for the tourists, the huge sea creature stunned the audiences at Jurassic World and in cinemas with its pure size, agility, and power. This would all come in to play once again at the very conclusion of the movie.

After the Indominus Rex had run amok across the entire park, killing people and dinosaurs at will, there seemed to be nothing that could stop it, until it was dragged down into the deep by the Mosasaurus. This genuinely came out of nowhere, and made for a shocking end to the dinosaur's rampage.
