He once an immortal who was the "Field Marshal Tianpeng" of 100,000 soldiers of the Milky Way, during a celebration of gods, he drank too much and attempted to flirt with the beautiful moon goddess, resulting in his banishment into the mortal world. He was supposed to be reborn as a human, but ended up in the womb of a sow due to an error at the Reincarnation Wheel, which turned him into a half-man half-pig monster. Staying within "cloud-pathway cave", he was commissioned by Guanyin to accompany Xuanzang to India and given the new name Zhu Wuneng. However, Wuneng's desire for women led him to Gao Village, where he posed as a normal being and took a wife. Later, when the villagers discovered that he was a monster, Wuneng hid the girl away. At this point, Xuanzang and Wukong arrived at Gao Village and helped subdue him. Renamed Zhu Bajie by Xuanzang, he consequently joined the pilgrimage to the West. His weapon of choice is the "nine-tooth iron rake". He is also capable of thirty-six transformations, and can travel on clouds, but not as fast as Wukong.

Friar Sand: (Sha Wujing)
He was once the Curtain Raising General, who stood in attendance by the imperial chariot in the Hall of Miraculous Mist. He was exiled to the mortal world and made to look like a monster because he accidentally smashed a crystal goblet belonging to the Heavenly Queen Mother during the Peach Banquet. The now-hideous immortal took up residence in the Flowing Sands River, terrorizing the surrounding villages and travelers trying to cross the river. However, he was subdued by Monkey King and Pigsy when the Tripitaka party came across him. They consequently took him in to be a part of the pilgrimage to the West. Friar Sand 's weapon is the "Crescent-Moon-Shovel" or "Monk's Spade". Aside from that, he knows eighteen transformations and is highly effective in water combat. He is about as strong as Bajie, and is much stronger than Monkey King in water. However, Bajie can beat Wujing in a test of endurance, and Monkey King can beat him out of water. Friar Sand is known to be the most obedient, logical, and polite of the three disciples, and always takes care of his master, seldom engaging in the bickeries of his fellow-disciples.
