Torgo is a female human. She is the assistant and wife of Dr. Cagliostro.
Under Dr. Cagliostro's orders, Torgo captured Timon and Pumbaa, and brought them to Cagliostro Laboratories Inc. There, the duo attempted to escape, but Torgo prevented them from doing so. Eventually, Timon convinced Torgo that Dr. Cagliostro was going to replace him, and so, in a rage, the monster destroyed his master's beloved Metamorphitron, which exploded and transformed him into a beautiful human woman. Dr. Cagliostro immediately fell in love with the female Torgo, and the two ran off and got married.
Biography
Early life
Torgo was created by Dr. Cagliostro and became his assistant. He and Dr. Cagliostro lived in a tower in Massachusetts.[1]
Metamorphitron
When Dr. Cagliostro was ready to enact his experiment, he ordered Torgo to capture Timon and Pumbaa, and bring them to him. Torgo did so, and Dr. Cagliostro told them that he was going to turn them into the world's most beautiful creatures. Despite Timon's protest that he was already beautiful, Dr. Cagliostro put him into a cage.
Torgo proceeded to put Pumbaa into the Metamorphitron, a machine that had been created by Dr. Cagliostro. However, the Metamorphitron turned Pumbaa ugly instead of beautiful, to Dr. Cagliostro's shock and sadness. Dr. Cagliostro ordered Torgo to put Pumbaa in the cage with Timon. He then took out a picture of Albert Einstein and asked him what he could have possibly overlooked. Albert Einstein "whispered" into Dr. Cagliostro's ear, telling him to check the math, and so Dr. Cagliostro told Torgo that they had work to do. Together, Torgo and Dr. Cagliostro went upstairs.
Meanwhile, Timon and Pumbaa made a plan to turn Pumbaa back to normal and escape the laboratory. After they succeeded in getting out of the cage, Pumbaa got turned back to normal, but Timon got caught by Torgo. In order to hide from the monster, Timon entered the Metamorphitron and got turned ugly. Torgo soon caught Timon and Pumbaa, and warned them to never attempt an escape again.
In the hopes of being changed back to normal, Timon concocted a plan to turn Torgo against Dr. Cagliostro. He tried to convince Torgo that, since they were both mutants, they should team up and try to defeat Dr. Cagliostro together. However, Torgo refused, as he was loyal to Dr. Cagliostro for being his creator.
Timon eventually managed to convince Torgo that Dr. Cagliostro was going to replace him. Infuriated, Torgo resolved to destroy everything in the lab, starting with the Metamorphitron. Timon tried to stop Torgo, as the machine was the only thing that could change him back to normal, but to no avail. When Dr. Cagliostro found Torgo destroying the Metamorphitron, he tried to get him to stop as well. However, the laboratory exploded, and Torgo was transformed into a beautiful woman. Immediately smitten, Dr. Cagliostro decided to marry Torgo and become the happiest man on earth.[1]
Physical appearance
As a monster, Torgo was tall and burly, with gray skin. He wore a yellow lab coat and had two nails embedded in his neck.
As a human, Torgo is a tall, slender, and beautiful woman. She has fair skin, long blond hair, and black eyes. She wears a skintight red dress, a black belt, golden bracelets, and black high heels.[1]
Personality and traits
As a monster, Torgo liked to hunt down helpless swamp rats and had a secret wishing place, which was a pile of straw in the dungeon. He was fiercely loyal to his creator, Dr. Cagliostro, for whom he worked as a lab assistant and enforcer. Torgo was quite possessive of Dr. Cagliostro, to the point that he was willing to destroy the Metamorphitron so he would not get replaced. After being transformed into a human woman, Torgo's devotion to Dr. Cagliostro turned to romantic love, and the two got married.[1]
