NORG is a wealthy, fat, and exiled Shumi who features in Final Fantasy VIII. He funded Balamb Garden for Cid Kramer, but turned it into a mercenary group when they needed to pay off the massive loans they owed. When Edea appears, Cid and NORG finally split, resulting a small-scale civil war within Balamb Garden. NORG wishes to please the Sorceress at all costs, and even goes to the lengths of trying to kill all SeeD within the Garden.
The player has the option to draw the GF Leviathan from NORG when you fight him in Disk 2.
[edit] Battle
At the start of the battle, NORG will say:
'BLUE-YELLOW-RED.'
'LOTS-OF-MAGIC-WHEN-RED!'
'AS-LONG-AS-COLOR-STAYS,'
'I-WILL-ATTACK-SeeD-WITH-MAGIC.'
'Bujurururu...'
hinting on a strategy regarding the Orbs on the NORG Pod.
Once the NORG Pod is destroyed, the Shumi will be exposed, and it will say:
'DAMN-THOSE-SeeDS!'
'THIS-IS-MY-GARDEN!'
'YOU-CAN'T-DO-AS-YOU-PLEASE!'
When NORG is defeated he will mutter:
'Fushururu...I'M-DONE-FOR!'
'I'M-AFRAID-OF-YOU!'
'ME-WHY-ME...?'
After the party defeats NORG in his POD, NORG assumes a Cocoon-like state. At a later stage, if Squall visits level B1 again, there are Shumi there who intended to retrieve the Cocoon, and apologize for NORG's behavior. The Cocoon itself has disappeared, though it is unspecified if the Shumi took it, or NORG has reemerged in a new form.
