===In ''Jurassic World''===
{{see also|Jurassic World}}
The oldest of the four Velociraptors trained by ] for the IBRIS Project, Blue and her pack aided in the search for the ''Indominus rex'', only to turn against their trainer when accepting the ''I. rex'' as their Alpha. However, Blue was the first to change her loyalty back to Owen and fight against the ''I. rex''. While the rest of her pack was killed, Blue received aid from ] as well as the ''Mosasaurus'' and defeated the ''I. rex''.

===In ''Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom''===
{{see also|Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom}}
Three years later, when Isla Nublar was in danger of being destroyed by Mount Sibo, Blue reunited with Owen only to be captured and shipped to Lockwood Mansion for a blood transfusion for the ''Indoraptor''. After Blue was healed from her injury, she once again saved Owen, Claire, and Maisie from the ''Indoraptor'', defeating it. Following that, Blue ran off into the woods, now free.

===In ''Jurassic World Dominion''===
{{see also|Jurassic World Dominion}}
Four years later, Blue lived in the Sierra Nevada mountains with an asexually-reproduced hatchling, Beta, while observing Owen, Claire, and Maisie living together from a distance. When Blue made herself and her offspring known, Beta and Maisie were both taken by Biosyn mercenaries. Owen promised an enraged Blue he'd bring her back. Owen kept true to his promise, reuniting Blue and Beta. After saying goodbye and parting ways with her friend and former trainer, Blue ran off into the wilderness with Beta.

Redirect to:

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:
  • With history: This is a redirect from a page containing substantive page history. This page is kept as a redirect to preserve its former content and attributions. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated), nor delete this page.
    • This template should not be used for redirects having some edit history but no meaningful content in their previous versions, nor for redirects created as a result of a page merge (use {{R from merge}} instead), nor for redirects from a title that forms a historic part of Misplaced Pages (use {{R with old history}} instead).
  • With possibilities: This is a redirect from a title that is in draft namespace at Draft:Blue (Jurassic World), so please do not create an article from this redirect (unless moving a ready draft here). You are welcome to improve the draft article while it is being considered for inclusion in article namespace. If the draft link is a redirect, then you may boldly turn that redirect into a draft article. The topic described by this title may be more detailed than is currently provided on the target page or in a section of that page.
    • When the target page becomes too large, or for any reason a new page would be an improvement, this redirect may be replaced with an article, template or other project page that is carved out of the target page. See also {{R to section}} and use together with this rcat when appropriate.
    • If the topic of the redirect is not susceptible to expansion, then use other rcats such as {{R to section}} or {{R to list entry}} when appropriate.
    • Since a new page may be created, links to this redirect should not be replaced with a direct link to the target page. To make redirects to this page, use {{R avoided double redirect}}.
    • {{R printworthy}} should be used together with this template when applied to a redirect in mainspace.
    • When used on a template redirect, it will automatically populate Category:Template redirects with possibilities.
When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.
