"Oh Look, a woman." (Pigsy)

"Pigsy is a long way from the enlightenment which transcends humanity. He is a long way too from the bottom of the cliff down which he is about to fall." (Narrator)

"Is your daughter pretty? I mean, i'm only asking before i rescue someone who looks like a crows armpit." (Pigsy)

"Pigsy"
aka Zhu Bajie

Also known as: Pig spirit, Stupid swine, Lord hog, Martial of the Heavenly host, Zhu Bajie in Chinese, Cho Hakkai in Japanese. Address: Cloud Ladder Cave on Mount Fu-ling. Features: Large, pointed pig ears, Pig-snouted on occasions, Able to consume vast quantities of food in mere seconds.  Weapon: Muck-rake - forged in the furnace of Lau Tzu. Skills: Bojutsu. Not sure the inability to woo ANY female is a skill, but if it is, he's got it! Favourite phrase: "You're just my type, my type exactly... a woman!" About me: My Chinese name, Zhu Ba Jie (or Ba Jie for short) translates as Pig or Piggy, but for the TV show they gave me the more catchy name Pigsy, which i quite like. I was once a General in Heaven, commanding the Heavenly armies. I must admit, i do have a penchant for beautiful women and made a big mistake by getting a bit too friendly with the Moon Princess, the little tease! The angry Gods punished me by throwing me down into the mortal world, re-incarnated as a beautiful, handsome, well mannered Pig Monk - though that ignorant Monkey will probably say i'm big, fat, rude and smelly...as will most other people.
But how could i possibly be all of those things and still be so attractive to the opposite sex? I..am..attractive...aren't i ? Dislikes: Work, Monkey (only sometimes though), work, Journeys to India, bathtime, and ..erm.. work. Reference from Buddha: 'Pigsy symbolizes the physical appetites - lust and gluttony - a craving for physical pleasures such as sleep, food and...erm... Well, I’ll put it this way - White Bone Demon gets him into trouble by appearing as a beautiful village girl and enticing him away from his friends.. No prizes for guessing what he had in mind !! He is also a lazy swine!' (Some reference.. Thanks for nothing Buddha! Pigsy.)  Work experience: Previously Commander of the Heavenly Host (God, i loved that job, boo-hoo). Still, i mustn't grumble. I'm now a full time Lothario and sex symbol ('what?'.. Monkey) - i have to beat the women off with a stick some days - it's true. As you can see... I AM irresistable!
