Zdinarsk, or "Z-Dog", was a member of Project Phoenix, Miles Quaritch's Recom squad
When Quaritch is revived as a Recom, Zdinarsk tries to restrain him, telling him to calm down. She assisted Quaritch during his mission to find and kill Jake Sully. When she flies with the team to the Hallelujah Mountains, she is visibly impressed by the beautiful scenery. She helps the group hold the Sully children hostage, but manages to survive Jake's and Neytiri's assault. Zdinarsk has many colorful tattoos.
