Was the term "Mutadon" ever used in Jurassic World Rebirth? How do we know that is what they are called?

Huh. I haven't found an actual shooting script, but the transcripts indeed do not use that term, and I haven't found any reference to it showing up, say on on the cages (description of which seems to indicate that they didn't get "cute" names, but rather things like V27.3").– FuzzyBootsCommented yesterday

At the beginning of the movie, during the first 5 minutes, a vat containing some raptor is labelled as "Mutadon":

As far as I can tell, the term was never used in the script dialogue, based on the transcripts I've read through. One of the deleted scenes involving the Mutadons does have some text pop up naming them.
So, short answer, we know that they are Mutadons because that's the term David Koepp used for them in interviews, and there's evidence that that's how they were referred to identify them internally in the making of the film.
How do you make a Velociraptor even more terrifying? Give it wings.
The 6-foot-7, 550-pound Mutadon is a cross between a raptor and a winged pterosaur. Edwards says this particular design "was a real struggle." One of his first development meetings as director of Jurassic World Rebirth was with the toy manufacturers at Mattel, though he didn't have any designs for the Mutadon to show them at that particular stage.
"So you're racing to get all these designs done for the toys, then it got to the Mutadons, and we couldn't crack it," the filmmaker recalls. The team spent the next nine months brainstorming before they landed on the idea for a winged raptor. "We tried thousands of things, I think, in the end," Edwards remarks.
