Biography[]
Zorg petting Picasso
Picasso is first seen when Zorg starts activating random buttons on his desk when he started choking on a cherry. A desperate Zorg even appeared to beg his pet for assistance despite the creature staring at him in confusion, even appearing to laugh, as its master choked to death and subsequently coughed up the cherry onto his pet's face.
After surviving his choking episode, Zorg is later seen playing with his beloved pet while the police arrest Korben Dallas, being one of the few creatures the usually malevolent Zorg shows any genuine affection for.
