Early Mutadon designs drew heavy inspiration from Gareth Edwards' Godzilla MUTO!

Some early designs for the Mutadons in Jurassic World Rebirth drew heavy inspiration from Gareth Edwards' other high profile monster epic – Godzilla! Legendary creature artist Matt Allsopp (who also worked on the Monsterverse) created this early version of the Mutadon which very closely reassembled the MUTOs from Godzilla (2014) – likely just a homage to Gareth Edwards and his first foray into the Hollywood big leagues. Even the names of the two movie monsters are closely related:

These concepts were further rendered by Antoine Verney-Carron:

Antoine Verney-Carron also provided a number of other early Mutadon concept designs early in production, giving a variety of alternative aesthetics to the hybrid Dinosaur:
