"What the hell kind of zoo is this?!"
—Nima to Miles Chadwick(src)

Nima save Jess.

Nima Cruz is a member of the Tun-Si tribe that lived on Isla Nublar before InGen forced the entire tribe to leave the island. After her displacement she became a mercenary. She was hired by BioSyn to retrieve Dennis Nedry's Barbasol can from Jurassic Park.




Nima was born on Isla Nublar as part of the Tun-Si tribe who had lived on the island for thousands of years. She was raised by her father, a spiritual healer.



InGen Incident





Nima seconds before being devoured.

Depending on the player's choice, Nima can be devoured by Roberta if she chooses to save the Barbasol can, or she can escape the island with Gerry and Jess if she chooses to save Jess.

Non-Canon Deaths

If the player fails to complete certain tasks, it is possible for Nima to be devoured by a Troodon, a TylosaurusVelociraptors, a Herrerasaurus, a Dilophosaurus, or Roberta. These deaths are considered non-canon, and will result in a game over. The player will then be allowed to respawn and try again.


  • She seems to have known and hated Oscar Morales.
  • If you paid attention to the conversation between Nima and Gerry, it was hinted that InGen hired mercenaries, including Oscar, to remove the native occupants of the island by force, killing two or more of the natives in the process. This explains why she held a long-standing grudge against Oscar through the course of the game, until his sacrifice when he is redeemed in Nima's eyes.
  • She is not seen on the boat with Jess as she is starting it, but after Gerry jumps on the boat she is seen sitting on a chair (only when the player makes Nima choose to save Jess, though). Though it is possible that she was steering the boat at the time Jess had started it.
  • Nima is the only character in the game whose fate is determined by the actions of the player - all other deaths are either scripted or non-canonical.
