'''Carver''' is a character in the {{DQSeries}} that appears as a playable {{Party 6}} member in {{Dragon Quest VI}}.

He is a travelling [[Martial Artist]] and the first to join the {{Hero 6}} on his quest. The two of them work together as a part of the [[Somnia (Upper World)|Somnian military]] in the war against [[Murdaw]] before discovering the mystery of the [[Lower World|Lower]] and [[Upper World]]s.

==Appearance and personality==
Carver is a mountain of a man, towering over most characters. He wears a grey open vest along with a turquoise-colored pair of shorts, and an orange sash lengthened by a piece of rope. Over his shorts, he wears a light-green mawashi, a type of loincloth similar to those worn by sumo wrestlers in real life. He also wears black shoes with a pair of light-green socks. He is noticeably more tan than the rest of the characters. Coupled with his purple mohawk, Carver's appearance is among the most distinct in the game.

Despite his intimidating build, Carver is a kind and friendly man, and starts a friendship with the {{Hero 6}} soon after they meet. Almost always jovial, Carver does his best to stay positive in darker moments, and tries to keep the mood light with a quick joke or a pun. A bit of a braggart, Carver thinks highly of himself and isn't afraid to accept any praises from villagers for the group's good deeds.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ6}}===
{{spoiler|start}}Carver appears in the cold opening alongside the {{Hero 6}} and [[Milly]]. Their assault on Murdaw ends in disaster when the leathery wizard turns them to stone, resulting in the Hero falling out of bed and awakening from a nightmare.

The {{Hero 6}} next encounters Carver in {{Somnia U}} after bumping into him and again during the initiation trial at [[Gardsbane Tower]]. Carver wishes the Hero good luck and hopes the best man wins, which is noticed by the test supervisors as the kind of cooperation the {{Somnia U}}n military is looking for. Newly pressed into service, Carver and the {{Hero 6}} are first sent to investigate rumors of a ferocious mustang menacing the countryside, which results in the duo gaining ownership of Peggy Sue and the castle's finest [[Wagon]]. The duo's next assignment has them search for any clues as to the location of [[Ra's Mirror]]: the journey gives insight into Carver's excellent carpentry skill, and results in a reunion with [[Milly]] in a [[Lower World]].

After a lengthy discourse with [[Madame Luca Luminesta]], joining with [[Ashlynn]], fighting fake [[Murdaw]], and getting ownership of a legendary vessel through the help of [[Nevan]], Carver joins the {{Hero 6}} in the second siege of [[Murdaw's Keep]]. In the castle Carver discovers a statue of his exact likeness, and upon touching it fuses with the stone--his original body [[Murdaw]] stripped from him in the game's opening. Realizing that "he" was the idealized version of himself, Carver comes to terms with the reality of the situation and his past as the runaway son of a master craftsman who dreamed of becoming a legendary martial artist. Carver's inner fire burns brighter after becoming whole, and learns [[Knuckle Sandwich]].

During the ending sequence, Carver returns to his family in [[Port Haven]] to continue his father's carpentry business.

==={{DQ9}}===
On April 29, 2011, Carver began appearing as a special guest at the [[Quester's Rest]] in [[Stornway]]. This could be downloaded through the [[DQVC]] using Nintendo's Wi-Fi channel when it was still available. When spoken to, he will give the {{Hero 9}} different pieces of his outfit is certain conditions are fulfilled.
*[[Carver's vest]] - Received when talking to him.
*[[Carver's hair]] - Received when it is the player's birthday.
*[[Carver's shorts]] - Received after the inn is fully expanded.
*[[Carver's shoes]] - Received when the Hero is a [[Gladiator]].
*[[Carver's bracers]] - Received after completing [[List_of_quests_in_Dragon_Quest_IX:_151-184|Quest #157]].
The player will receive the special [[Accolade]] '''Punk-Haired Pugilist''' if the {{Hero 9}} wears all parts of Carver's costume. However, it is only possible for a male {{Hero 9}} to earn this Accolade because Carver's Vest and Shorts are marked as male only and not even the [[Wear-with-all award]].

==={{DQH2}}===
Carver appears as one of the playable characters in the game. He uses Gauntlets as his weapon of choice and speaks with an Irish accent.

==={{DQTact}}===
Carver appears as a S-rank member of the [[Hero family]] as part of the ''Dragon Quest VI'' event. He joins the party in Chapter 1, Episode 4 of the event quests entitled [[Murdaw]] Arrives and he can be fully awakened by collecting Carver Crystals. During the event's original run, Carver Crystals could be obtained by completing various challenges, but became purchasable from the DQVI Medal Swap Shop when it was added to Reminiscence. Carver stars in his own Battle Road and he can be faced as a boss in the Wayfarers of Dreams Special Battle alongside [[Terry]] and [[Ashlynn]].

==Trivia==
*Carver's syntax is significantly different between {{IX}}, where he speaks with a Cockney accent similar to [[Yangus]], and {{VI}} were he speaks with no discernible accent but peppers his sentences with nautical phrases and terms used in carpentry. This discrepancy can be attributed to the two games being localized by [[Plus-Alpha]] and [[8-4 ltd]], respectively.
*Carver bears a strong resemblance to the Southern Daikaioshin from [[Akira Toriyama]]'s ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' manga. Appropriately, said character is the physically strongest of his group.

The '''happy hat''' is a recurring hat in the {{DQSeries}}. This wondrous pink wizard hat recovers the wearer's {{MP}} while walking on the field. It appears to have a magical flower growing from it and its bright pink colour give it an especially absurd appearance that notably lowers the style and charm of the wearer.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ4}}===
{{Descriptions
|DQ4=Recovers some of the wearer's MP with each and every step.<ref name="auto">Nintendo DS and Mobile versions.</ref>
}}
The happy hat has a {{Defence}} bonus of +15 and restores 1 MP for every 4 steps. It can be worn by [[Borya]], [[Kiryl]], {{Maya}}, and {{Meena}}. In the original NES version, one can be received as a reward for turning in 4 [[mini medal]]s to the [[Medal King]], while in all remake versions of the game, it is a reward for turning in 43 medals. It also has a {{fraction|1|128}} chance of being dropped by [[Liquid metal slime]]s or randomly stolen by Torneko in your party. It's best to have the Sands of Time item and enter a battle with Liquid metal slime with another monster who won't run away. Also have everybody defend except for Torneko who will randomly steal a Liquid metal helm. If the Liquid metal slime runs away or Torneko accidentally kills one, use the Sands of Time to bring the Liquid metal slime back to the battle. The hat can be sold for a measly 11 [[gold]] coins, but it is not recommended to do so.

==={{DQ5}}===
{{Descriptions
|DQ5=Recovers some of the wearer's MP with each and every step.<ref name="auto"/>
}}
The happy hat has a {{Defence}} bonus of +35 and restores 1 {{MP}} per step. It can be equipped by {{Bianca}}, {{Nera}}, {{Madchen}}, [[Sancho]], and several monster companions. The hat is found in [[Gotha]] Castle behind a door that is locked with the [[Ultimate Key]], and as a reward at the end of the [[Faerie Lea]] T'n'T Board. It can be sold for 6,750 [[gold]] coins, but it is not recommended to do so.

==={{DQ6}}===
The happy hat restores 1 {{MP}} per 8 steps on the world map and 16 in dungeons, towns, castles, etc. It has a {{Defence}} bonus of +35, but reduces the wearer's {{Style}} by -17. It can only be equipped by [[Milly]], [[Ashlynn]], [[Nevan]], and some of the slime companions. The hat is received as a prize for winning Level 8 of the Best Dressed contest at [[Château de Sass]]. It can also be dropped by [[Liquid metal slime]]s at a rate of {{fraction|1|256}}, but having a {{Party 6}} of [[Thief|Thieves]] at rank 8 raises the rate to {{fraction|1|32}}.

The '''happy hat''' is a recurring hat in the {{DQSeries}}. This wondrous pink wizard hat recovers the wearer's {{MP}} while walking on the field. It appears to have a magical flower growing from it and its bright pink colour give it an especially absurd appearance that notably lowers the style and charm of the wearer.

{{Descriptions

}}
The happy hat has a {{Defence}} bonus of +15 and restores 1 MP for every 4 steps. It can be worn by [[Borya]], [[Kiryl]], {{Maya}}, and {{Meena}}. In the original NES version, one can be received as a reward for turning in 4 [[mini medal]]s to the [[Medal King]], while in all remake versions of the game, it is a reward for turning in 43 medals. It also has a {{fraction|1|128}} chance of being dropped by [[Liquid metal slime]]s or randomly stolen by Torneko in your party. It's best to have the Sands of Time item and enter a battle with Liquid metal slime with another monster who won't run away. Also have everybody defend except for Torneko who will randomly steal a Liquid metal helm. If the Liquid metal slime runs away or Torneko accidentally kills one, use the Sands of Time to bring the Liquid metal slime back to the battle. The hat can be sold for a measly 11 [[gold]] coins, but it is not recommended to do so.

The happy hat has a {{Defence}} bonus of +35 and restores 1 {{MP}} per step. It can be equipped by {{Bianca}}, {{Nera}}, {{Madchen}}, [[Sancho]], and several monster companions. The hat is found in [[Gotha]] Castle behind a door that is locked with the [[Ultimate Key]], and as a reward at the end of the Spring T'n'T Board. It can be sold for 6,750 [[gold]] coins, but it is not recommended to do so.

The happy hat restores 1 {{MP}} per 8 steps on the world map and 16 in dungeons, towns, castles, etc. It has a {{Defence}} bonus of +35, but reduces the wearer's {{Style}} by -17. It can only be equipped by [[Milly]], [[Ashlynn]], [[Nevan]], and some of the slime companions. The hat is received as a prize for winning Level 8 of the Best Dressed contest at [[Château de Sass]]. It can also be dropped by [[Liquid metal slime]]s at a rate of {{fraction|1|256}}, but having a {{Party 6}} of [[Thief|Thieves]] at rank 8 raises the rate to {{fraction|1|32}}.

Sancho

}}
'''Sancho''' is the servant of [[Pankraz]], and later, The {{Hero 5}} in {{Dragon Quest V}}. He acts as a major supporting character in the first two generations of the game before becoming fully playable at the beginning for the third.

==Appearance and personality==
Sancho is a stout man of average height, with curly brown hair and a pencil mustache that matches his eyebrows. He wears an orange tunic over a dull green undershirt and pants, capped by a blue collar. His boots are plain black leather, and his hands are protected by bright yellow gloves. Sancho's most distinct article is the enormous backpack he totes around at all times; the rucksack is so massive that it requires wooden plank reinforcement to support itself.

A man utterly dedicated to aiding his friends, Sancho is humble and steadfast even in the worst of times. Ever one to take precautions, he insists on bringing supplies for every outing, hence the backpack. Sancho's reliability has made him a man of many talents, acting as a cook, babysitter, confidant, and warrior when called upon. Though his calm and reassuring demeanor make him look unassuming at first glance, Sancho is a man of intense passions: his dedication to Pankraz and The Hero drive him to search the ends of the world for their whereabouts in the second generation, as well as take up arms again in the third generation despite his advancing age. these same passions force him to hold intense grudges and bitter resentments as well, such as finding himself unable to bear being in [[Coburg]] in the third generation.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ5}}===
Sancho is a longtime friend of Pankraz. He is first encountered in [[Whealbrook]], where he taking care of Pankraz's home. Later in generation 2, The {{Hero 5}} and Prince [[Harry]] discover that Whealbrook was razed and Sancho has since left. He is not seen again until the {{Hero 5}} and his {{Wife 5}} arrive at [[Gotha]], where he introduces them to King [[Prince Albert]]. Shortly after the {{Hero 5}} is crowned and his wife gives birth to twins, the two end up missing after she is abducted.

In the eight years that followed, Sancho and the twin children, {{Parry}} and {{Madchen}}, scoured the globe in search of the missing king and queen. They eventually located the petrified form of The {{Hero 5}}, and were able to restore him. As The {{Hero 5}} and his children soon set out to find their mother, Sancho offered to accompany them in their journeys.

==={{DQ6}}===
Sancho appears in every version of the game, alongside the {{Hero 5}}'s children. In the 16-bit version he accompanies the twins in the [[Reaper's Peak]] house that contains the entrance to the [[Fungeon (Dragon Quest VI)|bonus dungeon]], and in the [[Nintendo DS]] remake onwards he appears in the version of the town based on the far distant future of {{Dragon Quest V}} where he is shown accompanying [[Pankraz]].

==={{DQ11}}===
The {{Hero 11}} encounters Sancho when travelling to [[Whealbrook]] through the [[Echo Chamber]], where the man is suffering a terrible cold along with the rest of the village.

==={{DQRivals}}===
Artwork depicting Sancho appears on several cards, and he can be set as the player's avatar.

==={{DQYS}}===
Sancho's role is smaller in the film. He tells Luca some important information about Pankraz's search for the {{Zenithian Sword}} when Luca returns safely to [[Whealbrook]]. He is also acknowledged to be a good cook in this adaptation.
{{spoiler|start}}
{{Bianca}} entrusts her and Luca's son to Sancho when the [[Order of Zugzwang]] attacks. As in the original game, Sancho takes care of the young boy (called Alus in this adaptation) until Luca is restored.
{{spoiler|end}}

==Trivia==
* Because of his name and appearance, as well as his Castilian Spanish accent in the English localization, it is very likely that Sancho was based on Sancho Panza from Miguel de Cervantes' novel ''Don Quixote''.

* Sancho's design resembles that of Dr. Senbei Norimaki, from [[Akira Toriyama]]'s manga ''Dr. Slump''.

* According to Madchen, neither Sancho nor Parry has any sense of direction.

'''Maria''' is a character in {{DQ5}}.

A former slave, she escapes with both The {{Hero 5}} and Prince [[Harry]], as well as temporarily becoming a nun, and as a non combatant {{Party 5}} member for a short time.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ5}}===
Maria was at one point a member of the [[Order of Zugzwang]], but due to her disagreements with the order's priests she was banished to the slave camp at Mount Azimuth. Her brother, Joshua, a guard at the slave camp, was distraught at her status, and secretly arranged an escape after both The {{Hero 5}} and [[Harry]] attacked [[slave-driver]]s that were beating her. Using the barrels that carry away dead slaves, she, [[Harry]], and The {{Hero 5}} stowed away with their belongings until they washed ashore at [[Heaven's Above Abbey]].

While the {{Hero 5}} and [[Harry]] decided to journey northward, Maria stayed at the abbey as a nun. Since the Nuns of the Above are caretakers of [[Abovitall Tower]], the two had to enlist her help in order to retrieve [[Ra's Mirror]] at the tower. After using the mirror to expose the [[faux dowager]], [[Harry]] stayed at Castle [[Coburg]]. Shortly later, [[Harry]] and Maria married, and arrived as guests for The {{Hero 5}}'s own wedding. By the third generation, they had a son named Kendrick, who inherited his father's mischievous streak.

When revisiting [[Crocodilopolis]], Joshua is found dead in a corridor, along with his final will. During the epilogue, the {{Hero 5}} informs Maria of her brother's fate.

==Trivia==
*Maria will give The {{Hero 5}} and [[Harry]], 1,000 [[gold]] coins, only if spoken to prior to the first departure from [[Heaven's Above Abbey]].

'''Harry''' is a prince of the kingdom of [[Coburg]] in {{Dragon Quest V}}, and is briefly a {{Party 5}} member during the game.

==Appearance and personality==
In his youth Harry wears a wide neck ruff, a red cape, and a yellow tunic with blue arms and leggings covered by a teal shirt with a large belt. His adult clothing is similar, though his cape how has trim along the collar, his tunic has been exchanged for a sleeved vest, and he now wears breeches. Harry carries a rapier at his side as a boy and man.

Harry is a spoiled brat upon his first meeting with the {{Hero 5}}, {{Madason}}, pranking him and refusing to follow [[Pankraz]]'s instructions without being slapped first. The years of slavery, plus [[Pankraz]]'s sacrifice prompt a dramatic change in the man, with Harry's adult persona being soft spoken and considerate to others. This demeanor is what wins him the heart of [[Maria]], and Harry becomes a devoted husband and father. He feels as though he is the cause of [[Pankraz]]'s death, and seeks to aid {{Madason}} in his search for the [[Zenithian Equipment]] anyway he can.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ5}}===
Harry is first seen as a child, the Prince of the kingdom of [[Coburg]], and was rather spoiled and troublesome. [[Pankraz]] was summoned by the king to Coburg, bringing [[Hero (Dragon Quest V)|his son]] in tow. Soon after, Harry was abducted by thugs, and [[Pankraz]] and {{Madason}} sprang to his rescue. Before they could escape the [[Ancient Ruins|ruins]], they were captured by Bishop [[Ladja]] who slew [[Pankraz]] and shipped the boys off to the [[Order of Zugzwang]]'s slave camp at [[Crocodilopolis|Mount Azimuth]].

Ten years later, Harry and {{Madason}} escape along with fellow slave [[Maria]], before washing up at [[Heaven's Above Abbey]]. Once they recovered, Harry tagged along with {{Madason}} to fulfill [[Pankraz]]'s dying wish and departed the abbey but not before developing a crush on [[Maria]]. After picking up a horse and [[wagon]] in [[Fortuna]], they stopped at the ravaged [[Whealbrook]] and found [[Pankraz]]'s storage deep in [[Whealbrook Adit|the cave]] which outlined his quest. At [[Roundbeck]], they learned that [[Coburg]] was building an army and had sacked [[Whealbrook]] some years ago, which deeply troubled Harry.

Returning to [[Coburg]], they discovered that Harry's half-brother Wilbur had assumed the throne after his father died, but the Queen Dowager was pulling the strings and began enacting a tyrannical rule. Investigating further, they discovered the real Queen Dowager was imprisoned and an [[Faux dowager|imposter]] is in her place, who uses the kingdom's military might to fufil the Order's desires. The two set out to [[Abovitall Tower]] to retrieve the [[Ra's Mirror]] to expose the impostor, with [[Maria]] lending her aid to enter the tower. After defeating power behind the throne, Harry stays behind to help King Wilbur run [[Coburg]], leaving {{Madason}} to continue his journey alone.

Some time later, Harry married [[Maria]], and the two would attend {{Madason}}'s wedding. They eventually had a son named Kendrick whom Wilbur named heir to the throne.

Additionally, if {{Madason}} marries {{Nera}} or [[Debora Briscoletti]] (remakes only), Harry informs their father [[Rodrigo Briscoletti]] of Madason's ability to cast the [[Zoom]] spell. This leads to the {{Hero 5}} using the spell to transport the wedding guests to the [[Pontoon and Ventuno]]

====Remake changes====
In the {{Super Famicom}} version of the game, Harry doesn't take part in battles until after he and {{Madason}} leave [[Heaven's Above Abbey]].

Later versions have him being able to take part in the brief fight with Bishop [[Ladja]], as an uncontrollable {{Party 5}} member, then joining in a combat with the [[slave-driver]]s as a controllable ally and being able to get a level up before traveling.

==={{DQ6}}===
Harry appears in the [[Nintendo DS]] remake of the game and the subsequent phone port. If the player opts to choose the far distant future version of [[Reaper's Peak]], which is based on {{Dragon Quest V}}, Harry appears in the village bar.

==={{DQRivals}}===
Harry serves as an avatar for the player and appears in the art of several cards.

==={{DQYS}}===
Harry's role in the film mirrors the game up until the duo gain their freedom. As the [[Faux dowager]] plotline is omitted, Harry departs from the {{Hero 5}}'s journey once they reach [[Coburg]]. Instead, he rallies the kingdom's army to aid the {{Hero 5}} in the finale. [[Maria]] herself is absent from the film.

}}
{{Hero 5}}'s '''Son''' is the legendary hero that [[Pankraz]] spent the twilight of his life searching for. He also has a [[Hero's Daughter (Dragon Quest V)|twin sister]]. He is eight years old at the third generation, and 10 at the game's finale.

In English his default name is '''[[Parry]]'''. In Japanese his default names are '''Cooper''' (クーパー) on the {{SFC}} and '''Rex''' (レックス) on the [[Nintendo DS]]. In the ''[[Dragon Quest V CD Theater|CD Theater]]'' audio drama and official novelizations, his name is '''Timmy''' (ティミー). In {{Your Story}}, he is named '''Alus''' (アルス).

==Appearance and Personality==
Parry's hair color is inherited from his mother and can be blond, blue, or jet black, though his eyes will always be blue. He dresses in a light blue tunic that reaches his ankles, a darker blue cape that drags behind him, and wears grey colored bracelets and boots. On his back is a comically over-sized sword he has yet to grow into. He keeps his hair tied into a ponytail.

Being a young lad, Parry sees the world through a child's eyes and is delighted by every new experience he encounters, though he does admit that the title of Hero feels awkward to him at times. His resolve to save the world never slackens, however, and he understands the full severity of the world's circumstances. In his own words, as long as he has his family he can do anything.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ5}}===
{{spoiler|start}}
Parry was born along with his twin sister in the castle town of [[Gotha]] shortly before his father was crowned king. However, their mother [[Bianca Whitaker]]/[[Nera Briscoletti]]/[[Debora Briscoletti]] was abducted by monsters and their father went missing searching for her. His nursemaid's quick thinking and hiding the twins under their parents' bed was the only thing that saved them from being abducted along with their mother. Bereft of their parents, the siblings were raised by their remaining extended family and Sancho. Eight years later, he along with his sister and [[Sancho]] finally located their petrified father and restored him to life. With him recuperated, the twins journeyed with their father in search of their missing [[Heavenly Bride|mother]] for another two years.

As it turns out, Parry was the legendary hero that his [[Pankraz|grandfather]] spent his final years searching for--a bitter irony. Thus, he was the only one able to wear the legendary [[Zenithian Equipment]] and was trained in swordsmanship with the Zenithian blade itself in [[Gotha]]. After rescuing their mother in [[Crocodilopolis]], he traveled with his father, [[Heavenly Bride|mother]], and sister into the underworld of [[Nadiria]] in search of his grandmother, [[Madalena]].
{{spoiler|end}}

====Base stats====
Parry can equip certain {{Sword}}s, {{Boomerang}}s, {{Axe}}s, and {{Staves}}, and even the metal king equipment. However, being the legendary hero, he is able to wear the whole Zenithian set, each which provides powerful protection.

Parry is an outstanding multi-purpose character and his list of spells is among the best in the game with offensive, healing, revival, and support magic for nearly every situation. His {{HP}} is very high, likely to offset his poor resilience. Though his overall {{MP}} is low compared to his family and his strength growth rate is slower than his father's, he will nevertheless be a vital asset in every battle.

==Trivia==
*Parry unfortunately suffers from Nocturnal Enuresis--more commonly known as bed wetting. Most children grow out of this condition by age 7, with cases in older individuals being most often attributed to stress. Considering Parry's circumstances, this is understandable.
*According to {{Madchen}}, he has no sense of direction.
*Interestingly, the blue hair inherited from {{Nera}} makes him resemble the {{Hero 6}} of {{Dragon Quest VI}}.
*His full name in the CD drama and novels in Japanese is ティムアル・エル・ケル・グランバニア - Timal El Kel Granvania. Granvania is the Japanese name for [[Gotha]].
*Parry's hair style is the same as Son Gohan in his Super Saiyan form. [[Akira Toriyama]] was in the middle of drawing the Cell saga of his ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' manga when {{V}} was developed and released, and likely used the cameo as a hint towards the lad's capability.

The "''{{Hero 5}}'s daughter''" is [[Hero's Son (Dragon Quest V)|The Legendary Hero]]'s twin sister in {{Dragon Quest V}}.

She is eight years old at the beginning of the third generation and ten at the game's finale.

In English her default name is '''Madchen'''. In Japanese her default names are '''Annie''' (アニー) on the {{SNES}} and '''Tabatha''' (タバサ) on the [[Nintendo DS]]. In the ''[[Dragon Quest V CD Theater|CD Theater]]'' audio drama and official novelizations, her name is '''Poppy''' (ポピー) .

==Appearance and Personality==
Madchen's hair color is inherited from her mother and is worn in a bowl cut fixed with two green ribbons. She wears a white tunic that doubles as a dress, along with white gloves and boots with evergreen inner lining. Her over-sized cape is a light shade of purple and covers her sword as it drags behind her. Madchen's plain belt has a pouch fastened to it.

Madchen is the more focused and serious of the twins, but is just as prone to bouts of childish glee and wonderment as her brother is. She has the extra-sensory ability to read the emotions of animals and {{MFamilies}}s, making her sympathetic to the friendlier monsters that suffer the association of their evil brethren and wishes there was a way for [[human]]s and monsters to live alongside one another as her father's tamed monsters do in [[Gotha]]. Though normally mature for her age, Madchen will not hesitate to ask her father to hold her hand when she is upset or frightened. Though she won't admit it, Madchen is a little jealous of her brother's status as The Legendary Hero and has a hard time seeing what "all the fuss is about" as she sees Parry as her brother first and world savior second.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ5}}===
Madchen was born with her twin brother in the castle town of [[Gotha]] shortly before her father was coronated as the king. However, their mother [[Bianca Whitaker]]/[[Nera Briscoletti]]/[[Debora Briscoletti]] was abducted by {{MFamilies}}s during the rite of passage ceremony and their father went missing searching for his bride. Her nursemaid's quick thinking to hide the twins under their parents' bed was the only thing that saved them from being abducted along with their mother. Bereft of their parents, the siblings were raised by their remaining extended family and [[Sancho]].

Eight years later Madchen, along with her brother and [[Sancho]], finally located their petrified father after much searching. Using the [[Stolos' staff]], she was able to restore him to life. With The {{Hero 5}} recuperated, the twins journeyed with their father in search of their missing [[Heavenly Bride|mother]] for a further two years. After rescuing their [[Heavenly Bride|mother]] in [[Crocodilopolis]], she traveled with his father, [[Heavenly Bride|mother]], and brother into the underworld of [[Nadiria]] in search of his grandmother, [[Madalena]].

====Base stats====
Madchen can equip most knives, whips, and staves. Unlike her mother, she can also equip a [[Silver shield]]. She is principally a spellcaster, in particular learning ice and blast spells. Although Madchen's resilience is higher than her father's or her brother's, she cannot equip the heavier armours.

==={{DQ6}}===
Madchen makes a cameo in [[Reaper's Peak]] alongside her brother and Sancho in the {{Super Famicom}} Version, utilizing the {{NPC}} sprite for normal girls found in the game. In the {{DS}} and its later ports she appears with her proper sprite seen in the remake of {{V}} for the same handheld, and three versions of her appear to match the three potential brides: {{Bianca}}'s daughter is helping her run the [[inn]], {{Nera}}'s daughter is having a picnic outside, and {{Debora}}'s daughter is standing next to the well that leads to the {{Fungeon 6}}. {{Bianca}}'s daughter has forgotten [[Saber]]'s name and asks the player to help her remember.

==={{DQMBRV}}===
Madchen is the avatar for female players and can equip a wider variety of gear than she can in her home game, with official art depicting her wielding a pair of [[Beast claw]]s and wearing [[Training togs]].

==={{DQRivals}}===
Madchen appears as a summonable hero in the game, with different cards showing off her various hair colors.

==={{DQYS}}===
Madchen does not appear in the film, with the Legendary Hero being an only child.

==={{DQTact}}===
Madchen appears as a S-rank member of the [[Hero family]] as part of the limited ''True Dragon Quest V'' event on her own banner alongside [[Drag-goon]]. She can participate in [[Saber|Purrcy's]] Battle Road as a party member.

==Trivia==
*Madchen has acrophobia and will go so far as to walk with her eyes closed if in the party in a high area. Other times she will clutch on to her father and refuse to let go until the {{Party 5}} descends.
*Both Madchen and {{Parry}} inherit their hair color from their [[Heavenly Bride|mother]] (e.g. blonde hair as {{Bianca}}'s children).
*According to {{Parry}}, she is a picky eater. Her father is also implied to have this trait.
*Her full name in the CD drama and novels in Japanese is ポピレア・エル・シ・グランバニア - Popirea El Cie Granvania. Granvania is the Japanese name for [[Gotha]].
*There is a persistent misconception that Madchen can recruit monsters like her father. This is false and was likely spread due to the fact that The {{Hero 5}} can recruit {{MFamilies}}s even while dead or in the [[wagon]], and the in-game dialogue that describes the lass as being fond of {{MFamilies}}s and able to understand the feelings of animals.
:*A secondary rumor is that having her in the {{Party 5}} doubles the chance for a {{MFamilies}} to rise up after [[Encounter|battle]], but this is also false.

'''Bianca Whitaker''' (ビアンカ, ''Bianka'') is a character in {{DQ5}}. She is a childhood friend of the {{Hero 5}} and one of his possible brides.

She has been a regular participant in the ''[[Itadaki Street (series)|Itadaki Street]]'' series, appears as a special guest in {{Dragon Quest IX}}, and is one of the thirteen original playable characters in {{DQH}}. Bianca also appears as a special Hero character in {{DQTact}} alongside {{Nera}} and {{Debora}}.

==Appearance and Personality==
As a young girl, Bianca wore her blonde hair in two braided pigtails with purple hairbands and she wears a long myrtle green cape over an orange dress. She has blue eyes. Bianca also wears silver bracelets, a belt with a silver buckle around her waist, dangling pink earrings, and black shoes with myrtle green socks. As an adult, Bianca wears her hair in a single braid with a silver hairband on the right side of her face and a myrtle green dress with an orange cloak attached. She still wears the same earrings and bracelets she did as a child, as well as a black belt with a silver buckle around her waist, a silver choker, and black leather boots worn with myrtle green stockings held up by string. Bianca is known as a great beauty, and many of the men in [[Stockenbarrel]] and [[Mostroferrato]] comment on her attractiveness.

Like most other characters, her appearance in {{Heroes}} has been embellished slightly. Bianca now wears brown, knee-high leather boots held up with myrtle green ribbons at the top and black thigh-high stockings. Her belt is now yellow with black triangular designs all around it. Bianca's dress and cloak are embroidered with silver and gold designs respectively and her choker is now gold with small green gems decorating it.

Bianca is something of a tomboy as a child and she has a strong sense of justice, demonstrated when she deals with the bullies in [[Roundbeck]]. She has a love of the outdoors and enjoys going on adventures with The {{Hero 5}}, even when the two grow up. In the ten years that pass between their encounters, Bianca has become strong and independent, having to deal with the loss of her mother and her father's sickness. She is known for her good heart and is beloved by the people of Stockenbarrel. She is humble as well, putting the happiness of The {{Hero 5}} before herself when faced with the difficult prospect of choosing a bride and wishes happiness for him at his wedding if he marries either {{Nera}} or {{Debora}}.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ5}}===
The {{Hero 5}} and [[Pankraz|his father]] first meet Bianca Whitaker as a child in [[Whealbrook]]. She and her mother are in town getting medicine for her father. After the herb-maker is found in a cave, [[Pankraz]] escorts them back to their home in [[Roundbeck]].

[[Pankraz]] is thinking of returning, but agrees to stay the night and catches a cold, and the {{Party 5}} is unable to leave. While wandering around town with The {{Hero 5}}, they meet two kids who are bullying a [[Saber|sabrecat cub]]. After some discussion, they agree to give up the cat if they can defeat the ghosts at [[Uptaten Towers]]. This quest is successful, and she names the [[Saber|sabercat]], also giving it a [[Bianca's clothing#Bianca's ribbon|ribbon]].

Bianca is not seen again until much later after the first timeskip. While searching for the [[Circle of Water]] as part of [[Rodrigo Briscoletti|Mr. Briscoletti's]] tasks, The {{Hero 5}} stops in [[Stockenbarrel]] where he meets up with Bianca again. She unlocks a gate blocking the path to the [[Cataract Caves]] where the ring is stored, and accompanies him back to the town of [[Mostroferrato]]. Mr. Briscoletti asks him to choose whether he'll marry Bianca or his daughter {{Nera}} (or his other daughter {{Debora}}, in the [[Nintendo DS]] remake). If the player chose Bianca, the two marry and she will continue to travel with you as The {{Hero 5}}'s [[Heavenly Bride|wife]].

Upon reaching The Hero's homeland, the kingdom of [[Gotha]], it is revealed that Bianca is pregnant and she will stay in the castle to rest until it is time. After he returns from the [[Riteof Passage]], she gives birth to twins: [[Hero's Son (Dragon Quest V)|a boy]] and [[Hero's Daughter (Dragon Quest V)|a girl]]. The {{Hero 5}} is coronated as the new King of [[Gotha]]. After a night of celebrations, Bianca is abducted by monsters while most of the castle inhabitants were passed out. While attempting to rescue her from [[Kon the Knight]] at his [[Knightmare Towers|tower]], it is learned that she has the blood of The Legendary Hero - and for this reason she and her husband are turned to stone by Bishop [[Ladja]].

In the eight years that pass, Bianca's petrified form ended up at the temple of [[Crocodilopolis]]. The {{Hero 5}} and the children are able to finally free her, who rejoins the party. Together, they travel to [[Nadiria]] to find The {{Hero 5}}'s mother, [[Madalena]], and defeat the [[Nimzo|Grandmaster of the Underworld]].

If the player does not marry Bianca, she will return to [[Stockenbarrel]] and remain there throughout the game with her father, (whose health will recover regardless of who The {{Hero 5}} marries). She will not marry, but apparently has admirers and will not meet an unhappy fate in any version of the game, contrary to Internet rumors that said her father would die and she would end up as a mistreated, sad bar maid in [[Mostroferrato]].

====Stats====
Bianca can equip most knives, whips, and staves. Her armor selection includes lightweight tunics, robes, and female-exclusive equipment, but her choice in shields is limited. Unlike the other brides, she can wear the [[Metal king helm]].

Since Bianca is briefly a {{Party 5}} member during the first generation, she starts out at level 1 and learns early magic spells, so unlike the other brides, she has a full selection of fire magic. In the {{Super Famicom}} version, when she rejoins at Stockenbarrel, she will automatically be leveled to level 10. In the {{PS2}} version, her level will be the level she was as a child plus 2. In the {{DS}} and [[Cell phone]] versions, her level will be the level she was as a child plus 10.

====Spells====
Bianca has a similar spell list to {{Nera}}, but she has fewer spells overall since she lacks [[Midheal]], [[Kaboom]] and [[Tick-tock]]. She does possess the lowest level versions of [[Frizz]] and [[Sizz]], which Nera lacks... but {{Nera}} has their higher level variants which outclass them in every way (aside from spell cost). Ultimately, Bianca is a decent mage but her advantages over {{Nera}} lie elsewhere, such as starting at a higher level, having slightly better physical strength, and being able to equip [[Metal king helm]], which Nera cannot.

In contrast, she is overall a superior mage to {{Debora}}, possessing all but one of {{Debora}}'s spells ([[Whack]]), and a few that {{Debora}} does not (most notably, the [[Frizz]] line of spells). She is, however, a weaker physical fighter than {{Debora}} and cannot equip certain weapons that {{Debora}} can.

==={{DQ9}}===
Bianca appears as one of the special guests at the [[Quester's Rest]] in [[Stornway]]. This could be obtained when the [[DQVC]] was available using Nintendo's Wi-Fi Channel. When spoken to, Bianca gives the player different pieces of her outfit for fulfilling certain conditions.
*Bianca's clothes - Received when talking to her.
*Bianca's bracelets - Received after the inn is fully expanded.
*Bianca's braid - Received when it is the player's birthday.
*Bianca's boots - Received when the Hero is a [[Mage]].
The player will receive the [[Accolade]] '''Best Friend Bride''' when having acquired all pieces of her outfit.

==={{DQ11}}===
The {{Luminary}} can visit the Briscoletti mansion on the eve of the wedding via the [[Echo Chamber]] in the Nintendo Switch version of the game. Due to the actions of a [[Pilferpithecus|monster]] sealed away by the Briscoletti ancestor Rodolfo, Bianca has been turned into an exact duplicate of Rodrigo on the eve of her wedding day. Thankfully, the groom is still away from the mansion and the [[Pilferpithecus|monster]] has been located in {{Alltrades Abbey 6}}.

Bianca is very worried about how her father might handle her sudden transformation, fretting about how poor his health is already and that he doesn't need a major shock such as this. Once the transformation has been undone, she expresses her gratitude to the {{Luminary}}. She also mentions that he reminds her of the potential groom, and reminisces about their adventure in Uptaten towers.

Bianca also plays a role in the sabrecat incident at [[Chateau Felix]], loaning her ribbon out to tame [[Saber]] once again. She will be happy to have been of help, and glad that her childhood pet has returned.

===''[[Dragon Quest & Final Fantasy in Itadaki Street Special]]''===
She is one of the three characters from {{V}} featured, alongside [[Nera Briscoletti]] and the {{Hero 5}}.

===''[[Dragon Quest: Monster Battle Road Victory]]''===
Bianca can be summoned to perform a special attack. After leaping from the wagon, she jumps on [[Saber]]'s back and uses the power of the [[Circle of Fire]] to trigger a volcanic eruption to attack the enemy party.

==={{Dragon Quest Heroes}} and {{Dragon Quest Heroes II}}===
Bianca is one of the thirteen playable characters in the first game. She and [[Nera Briscoletti]] have been mysteriously transported to the land of Arba in the Dwarven settlement of Grannet on the night before one of them is about to get married. In order to differentiate her from other playable characters, Bianca uses {{Bow}}s as her weapon of choice in the game, and can cast both [[Frizz]] and [[Snooze]] in battle. Her [[Coup de Grâce]] is Ribbon Let Die, where she uses her ribbon to summon her trusty great sabrecat companion, here named Purrcy, who rushes out and strikes any enemies in front of her. Bianca can also be played in co-op dungeons in {{Heroes 2}}, but cannot be used in the regular story mode.

===''[[Dragon Quest Live Spectacle Tour]]''===
Bianca appears as a character in the stage production played by actress [[Maho Tomita]].

==={{DQRivals}}===
She was featured in several cards, player icons, and card sleeves in both her child and adult forms. Bianca first appeared as a legendary rare card in the second card pack, "Roar of Unleashed Power" and was eventually reprinted in the 8th card pack under the name "Bianca, the Heavenly Bride". Most notably, Bianca won the second card popularity vote with players and received a special illustration depicting her in her wedding dress.

==={{DQYS}}===
Bianca appears as one of the main characters in the film.

==={{DQStars}}===
Bianca appears as a side character in the second part of the {{Dragon Quest V}} story event. If players choose to adventure with her, she will accompany the party in the {{Dragon Quest V}} quests, occasionally finding additional loot, and she will also appear in the multiplayer lobby, if the host chose her. Choosing her also gives players the option to obtain equipment based on her, as well as blonde wigs based on {{Parry}} and {{Madchen}}; and the option to dress Bianca up with any armor the player has -as long as it's equippable by female characters.

In the last {{Dragon Quest V}} event rerun before the Global version closed down, players could obtain Bianca's earrings, and a cosmetic orange ribbon based on the one she gave to [[Saber]].

==={{DQTact}}===
Bianca appears as a S-rank character of the [[Hero family]] as part of the limited {{Dragon Quest V}} event, appearing on her own banner alongside [[Snowbird]]. The player can choose to have her join as a companion in the [[Circle of Water]] event quest. She also appears as a boss in the special Zenithian Brides boss battle with {{Nera}} and {{Debora}}. Bianca could also be scouted by the player by redeeming their Dark Lord/Hero Meeting Ticket S.

==Quotes==
'''[[Knightmare Towers]]'''
:''"'<player>! I knew you'd come. But maybe it would've bin better if you hadn't. The reason them monsters used the Chancellor to snatch me away was so they could lure you into a trap. The ringleader says he's goin' to kill you and then become king in your place! Agh!"''
:''"'Stop! Stop right there, Kon!"''
:''"'Go on, <player>! Now!"''

==Etymology==
Bianca is the Italian form of the name Blanche, which means "white, pure", contrasting her with {{Nera}}, whose name means black in Italian.

==Trivia==
*In {{V}} and {{Dragon Quest Heroes}}, Bianca speaks with a Cornish accent.
*[[Jessica Albert]] compliments Bianca's {{Bow}} arm in {{Heroes}} and states that she'd probably be good with a {{Whip}}, too, referencing the fact that she can equip whips in her original game and the developers were initially considering her whips as a weapon.

The '''falcon knife earrings''' is a recurring weapon in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' franchise. Like its [[Falcon blade|larger variant]], the falcon knife earrings attack twice per turn. However they can only be wielded by female characters in most installments and possess a lower attack bonus. To compensate for this, both strikes can inflict [[Critical Hit|critical hit]]s, be amplified by [[Oomph]] and [[Focus Strength]], and do not suffer the percentage reduction of the [[Sword Weapon Family|sword]] version.

Though classified as {{Knives}}, the weapons were a pair of actual earrings before {{VIII}}, in which all attack animations per weapon type were standardized and the piercings were changed to be a pair of {{Knives}} that just so happened to look like earrings.

The '''Prince of Midenhall''' is one of the three playable characters from {{Dragon Quest II}}.

He is a descendant of [[Erdrick]] who responds to the sudden rising threat of [[Hargon]]. He inherited all of his ancestor's physical strength, but unlike his cousins the [[Prince of Cannock]] and the [[Princess of Moonbrooke]], he cannot use magic, and as such is the only {{Main Series}} main [[hero]] who doesn't possess any magical ability.

The name given to the hero in the Japanese [[Dragon Quest II CD Theater|CD theater]] drama and novelizations is '''Allen''' (アレン).

==Appearance and Personality==
The Hero wears blue for the most part, though the goggles that rest on his helmet are brown. He wears a blue tunic over black form-fitting long-sleeved shirt and pants, blue shoes with light blue socks, and blue gloves. Across his chest is a swordbelt with a scabbard attached to the back. He also wears a brown belt around his waist with a small brown pouch on it and a belt buckle in the shape of [[Emblem of Erdrick|Erdrick's symbol]]. His sword is typical aside from the hand cover built into the hilt, and his shield is adorned with [[Erdrick]]'s symbol. His hair varies between illustrations, where it's shown to be black in color and trimmed short in older pieces and unkempt silver in later works. In many modern depictions, he is often seen wielding the [[Thunderbolt blade]].

Even though the Hero is a silent protagonist and his personality is open for the player to define, a strong sense of justice can be seen in the beginning of the game, as he sets out to stop [[Hargon]] and his evil cult without so much as a "But thou must" proposal from the King.

Although the Hero is the only nameable character, he remains equal in stature with his 2 companions in {{Dragon Quest II}}, the [[Prince of Cannock]] and the [[Princess of Moonbrooke]]. All three are descendants of [[Erdrick]]. This varies from other games in the series where only the hero is of notable birth compared to his party companions.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ2}}===
The Prince of [[Middenhall]] is the first Luminary that the player controls in the game, responding to news of [[Hargon]]'s assault on [[Moonbrooke]] by setting out to assemble his cousins and take the fight to the mad priest's citadel in the frozen plateau of [[Rendarak]].

====Equipment====
As the most physically powerful of the trio, the Prince of [[Midenhall]] has access to the widest range of weapons and armor. He can equip every weapon and piece of armor available, including heavier ones that his cousins cannot use, such as the [[Sledgehammer]]. This means he is also the only character who has access to the legendary [[Erdrick Equipment|Erdrick's equipment]], and as such, should use them when facing [[Hargon]].

==={{DQB2}}===
While he does not appear in the game physically, he is mentioned several times with his cousins by various characters, Hargon, his Children, and even the amnesiac Malroth. His clothing can be obtained after the Builder exchanges a certain amount of [[Mini medal]]s to the Hairy Hermit.

==={{DQTreasures}}===
The prince is represented by a statue based on his likeness, being [[List of treasures in Dragon Quest Treasures|Treasure No. 329]] with a base value of 5,000,000

===''[[Dragon Quest Monsters +]]''===
The Prince appears as a main character during Kleo's venture into [[Rendarak]]. He saves the lad from [[Batmandrill]]s and is astonished that a [[human]] can consider monsters as his allies. The Prince displays astounding superhuman strength, breaking through stone barriers and manhandling massive {{MFamilies}}s.

==Trivia==
*He is the only main [[hero]] who cannot use magic of any kind.
*Like many of the main heroes in the series, he is a silent protagonist.
*He can reach a maximum level of 50.
*In the Japanese version of the game, he is depicted as the tallest of the cousins.
*In the artwork for the American {{NES}} version of the game, he is still wearing [[Erdrick]]'s signature blue armor, but the shield had been changed from blue to red.

Erdrick Equipment

2025-11-07T20:34:56Z

HamonBeat:

[[File:DQ Museum Erdrick Equipment.png|right|thumb|350px|Life-sized replica of the set built for the 30th anniversary museum in 2016]]
The '''Erdrick Equipment''' is a set of powerful and crucially important items from the original [[Erdrick trilogy|trilogy]] of games. The equipment consists of the [[Erdrick's Sword|sword]], [[Erdrick's Shield|shield]], [[Erdrick's Armour|armour]] and [[Erdrick's Helmet|helmet]] belonging to the legendary hero [[Erdrick]].

In the first two games the items bear Erdrick's name as a part of his iconography, but in {{Dragon Quest III}} each piece has a distinct name: the [[Sword of Kings]], [[Auroral Armour]], and the [[Hero's Shield]]. No helmet exclusive to the hero existed in the original 8-bit version, but subsequent releases have added [[Ortega's Helm]] to fill in the gap.

==Appearances==
===''[[Dragon Quest]]''===
Erdrick's sword, armour, and mark debut in the seminal title, with the game's plot making the mark a mandatory acquisition. The sword and armour are entirely optional, albeit strongly recommended, and the fabled shield would not appear until the sequel. As helmets were not a distinct equipment type in the first game it is assumed that Erdrick's helm was included with the armour set.

The sword is held in the depths of the [[Dragonlord's Castle]] as a precaution on the scaled sovereign's part, and the armour is located in the ruins of [[Damdara]] where it is guarded by a [[Knight Aberrant|knight aberrant]]. The mark is found in the fetid swamp south of [[Cantlin]], being exactly 40 steps east and 70 steps south of [[Tantegel]].

==={{DQ2}}===
The sword is once more found in the Dragonlord's castle, watched over by his [[Dragonlord's great-great-grandson|great-great-grandson]]. Though powerful, the sword will be eclipsed by several weapons the player encounters over the course of the adventure.
The mail is found in the third floor of the [[Cave to Rendarak|chasm leading to Rendarak]], in the bottom-rightmost section of the floor near a set of stairs. Erdrick's helmet is obtained by exchanging the Mark of Erdrick at the [[Sanctum|shrine]] southeast of Tantegel, and the mark itself being found in [[Midenhall]] behind a door requiring the [[Golden Key|golden key]] to open.
The shield is found in the castle of [[Cannock]], being watched over by an old man on a tiny islet. The golden key is required to open the door to gain access to it.

==={{DQ3}}===
Due to taking place in the distant past, none of the heraldry bears Erdrick's name until the completion of the game. The [[Sword of Kings]] was destroyed by [[Zoma]] over the course of several years due to the demon king fearing its power, and must be reforged with an ingot of [[Orichalcum]]. This precious metal is found in the horse field of Damdara, and must be sold to the [[Jipang|Jipangese]] blacksmith living in [[Kol]]. Once he is given the metal, the sword will be available for purchase.

The [[Auroral Armour]] is found in a chest in a hidden room in the [[Tower of Rubiss]], and the [[Hero's Shield]] is found on the bottom floor of the [[Nail Mark]] northwest of Tantegel. [[Ortega's Helm]] was added to the game in the SNES remake, being given to the player by the people of [[Mur]], giving the Hero a complete set of armour. What would become the mark of Erdrick is the [[Sacred Amulet]], which is granted to the player upon the rescue of [[Rubiss]].

==={{DQ3HD}}===
The [[auroral helm]] was added to the legendary equipment in the HD remake, being the upgraded form of Ortega's helm that confirms the fan speculation of the latter becoming part of the set by matching the design of Erdrick's helmet. Of note is that it increases the power of the [[Zap]]-family of spells by 20% when worn, a distinct feature not seen in other legendary helmets.

==={{DQ8}}===
Available only in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version is "Ye Olde Sword of Erdrick", a rusty version of the mythical blade that is obtained via a download code first made available internationally on February 24, 2017. Players can reforge the tarnished slab by mixing it with the [[liquid metal sword]] and a lump of orichalcum in the [[Alchemy pot]].

==={{DQ9}}===
[[Erdrick's Sword|Erdrick's sword]] is the result of mixing the [[Rusty sword|Rusty sword]] with nine [[Glass frit]]s and one chunk of Orichalcum within [[Krak Pot]]. The rusty sword lays within a chest on the eighth floor of the [[Realm of the Mighty]].

The suit of armour has been split into several pieces corresponding to the [[Erdrick's Armour|upper & lower body]], [[Erdrick_Equipment#Erdrick's_gauntlets|hands]], and [[Erdrick's Helmet|head]] as per the system changes features in ''IX''. These pieces of equipment are first obtained in dilapidated condition and are collectively referred to as the [[Rusty suit]], along with the [[Erdrick's Shield|shield]].

==={{DQB}}===
Erdrick's sword, shield, and armour are available in this alternate timeline spin-off. The paraphernalia is referred to by the antiquated names not used since ''III'', and can be forged in the fifth chapter of the game.

==={{DQB2}}===
The three parts of the heraldry return for the sequel, but have simpler recopies to forge.

==={{DQTact}}===
Erdrick's sword and armour appear as S-rank equipment made available in the ''True Dragon Quest III'' event.

==={{SSB5}}===
The sword, armour, helmet, and shield are available as Mii Swordfighter costume gear, and the Hero if III fights with the sword of kings and hero's shield equipped.

==Miscellaneous==
===[[Sacred Amulet]]===
Exclusive to {{Dragon Quest III}}, the amulet is given to the {{Hero 3}} by [[Rubiss]] and will grant +30 {{Luck}}, along with ''complete'' immunity to instant death and [[Kamikazee]].

===[[Erdrick's gauntlets]]===

}}
As {{Dragon Quest IX}} has split armor into three categories, the gauntlets that originally came with the auroral armor have become their own equipment for the game.

===[[Erdrick's Tablet]]===
[[file:DW1 ErdricksTablet.png|right|100px]]
Erdrick's tablet is found in the [[Erdrick's Cave|cave bearing his name]] north-west of Tantagel castle. It is a message he left for his descendants, detailing the means necessary to travel to the isle of evil in the center of Alefgard. The tablet only appears in the original 8-bit version of the first game, being replaced by a sprite depicting a large monolith that serves the same purpose in all subsequent versions.

==Trivia==
*The iconography of Erdrick bears a distinct resemblance to [[Ramia]], appearing on the sword, shield, and armor of legend. Even the hero's emblem bears Ramia's visage, likely owning to her significance in ''III's'' chain of events.
*The overworld sprite of [[Ortega]] in the {{SFC}} Version shows him wearing a black helmet with a single strip of metal going vertically along the cranium, rather than the blue emblemized helmet seen in later sets of the Armor of Erdrick. This could imply that the helmet was modified after joining with the legendary gear.
*Some versions of the sword and shield have [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Saxon_runes Anglo-Saxon runes] inscribed on them.
** The runes on the sword read "Dragon Kuest", an approximation of ''Dragon Quest''. These runes first appeared on the sword in artwork for ''VIII''.
** The runes on the shield read "Roto", Erdrick's Japanese name. These runes first appeared on the shield in Famicon artwork.

}}
The '''Magic armour''' is armour in the series. It is designed to guard the wearer against attack magic.

==Characteristics==
The magic armour consists of a blue breastplate with curved pauldrons and ornate gold filigree and edges, along with a dark orange fauld with gold edges that fully encircles the wearer's waist attached to a grey belt with a gold buckle. In some early pieces of artwork, the magic armour is worn with a long cape, a bronze coronet with a blue gemstone around the wearer's forehead, and blue vambraces with the same design as the breastplate, and has a jewel on the belt. It is not as heavy as some other suits of armour, allowing it to be used by a wider range of characters, including some spellcasters.

Starting with ''IX'', the breastplate's colour was changed to a dark shade of purple. In ''X'', the armour is now divided into torso and leg pieces, with the fauld also coloured purple, as well. In some games such as ''X Offline'' and ''Walk'', the torso armour is worn with a pair of gauntlets.

==Special {{MFamilies}}s==
These monsters are found in the game's various towns and dungeons instead of through battle, and each has a different stipulation for joining the Hero's ranks. Of note is Saber, who is completely unmissable due to the game's narrative structure; even if no other monsters are recruited, the Hero's childhood pet will always be by his side.

Gadabout

2025-11-07T11:27:35Z

HamonBeat:

[[Image:Gadabout3male.png|right|border|280px]][[Image:Gadabout3female.png|right|border|240px]]

The '''Gadabout''' (遊び人, ''Asobinin'') is a recurring vocation in the {{DQSeries}}. Design wise, Gadabouts are split between dressing as clowns for men and bunny girls for women, a point of difference between this party-going profession and the more obscure [[Jester]].

==Characteristics==
Gadabouts march to the beat of their own drum, often ignoring any commands from the player for their own buffoonery that can have positive or negative impacts on the party. The number of possible antics increases with their level or rank, depending on the game, with more extreme actions becoming available. Quite literally a ''joke'' character, the Gadabout has poor growth in nearly every attribute, save for their incredible luck in ''III'' and a small style boost in ''VI'' and ''VII''.

The female Gadabout's design was censored for the HD2D remake of ''Dragon Quest III'' by placing a thicker line of fabric across the top of her leotard to partially obscure her cleavage and by extending the bottom portion of the leotard over her tushie to mask her mesh pants.
==Appearances==
==={{DQ3}}===
Gadabouts are pretty much useless on the battlefield, but do have a great amount of luck. This allows them to avoid the affects of spells and abilities that cause irritating status ailments more often than other characters, such as [[Sweet Breath]] and [[Fuddle]]. The trade-off for this is the fact that these clowns have minds of their own, and the player cannot always control their actions. The Gadabout is the only class that can turn into a [[Sage]] at {{Alltrades Abbey 3}} without the [[Words of Wisdom]], merely needing to reach level 20 to do so. Rather than take a Gadabout from the beginning of the journey with this career advancement in mind, some players opt to instead turn an existing character in to a fop and level them up in the safety of their much stronger peers.

Gadabouts were added to the game in the Version 4.3 update. They are the frailest profession in the game as per series tradition, and can make use of {{Sword}}s {{Boomerang}}s, {{Hammer}}s, {{Knives}}, Fisticuffs, Shields, and their personal skillset. Unlike the controlled chaos of the [[Fortune Teller]] vocation, the Gadabout is a genuine gambling class where the player puts their fate in the hands of [[Rubiss]]. Their clown antics can range from mundane jokes to elaborate performances straight out of a gag manga, and are just as likely to affect their allies as they do the enemy. A Gadabout's [[Coup de Grâce]] technique is [[Hocus Pocus]], which has been altered to never hinder the party while still selecting a random effect for enemies.

====きまぐれな action list====
As mentioned above, these translations are not official and are presented purely as a convenience for English-speaking fans. Each action activates a text box that describes the jest, and the character will make one of three awful puns when performed: this is one of the few times in which the player's avatar speaks in any Dragon Quest game.

====まじめにきまぐれ action list====
The まじめにきまぐれ (''seriously whimsical'') are 11 actions that become available once the player has allocated 200 points into the Gadabout's 遊び (''play'') skill tree, expanding the total number of random actions the character may perform to 26. These japes include:
*Increasing physical damage by 30% for 60 seconds
*Increasing all damage types by 50% for 60 seconds
*Increases the character's tension by 1 or 2 stages
*Increasing critical hit & haywire spell rates for the character
*Reducing the charge time of spells & skills by 10 seconds for one minute
*Increasing how quickly the character moves within the battle zone for 60 seconds
*Applying [[Mist Me]] to the character
*Becomes immune to ailments & debuffs for 120 seconds
*Decrease the attack, defence, & action interval speed of all enemies within the immediate vicinity of the character
*Paralyze, Dazzle, & curse all enemies within the immediate vicinity of the character
*Planting a bomb with a four second timer, damaging all allies & enemies within range for 1,400~1,700 Fire damage

None of these eleven gags have actual names, the notation for when one activates is simply a text box that states "まじめにきまぐれ!" before describing the effect. The Gadabout will make a pun based on the action, however.

===''[[Dragon Quest Walk]]''===
[[Image:Walk Jesters Dancers.png|right|thumb|Gadabouts and Dancers as they appear in ''Walk''.|200px]]
Gadabouts, along with Dancers, were added to the game in a September 2020 update. It is available as a basic vocation to players and their weapons of choice are [[Staves]], [[Spear]]s, and [[Boomerang]]s. In battle, they have a chance to completely ignore the player's commands and do a random action instead. As a reference to their first appearance in ''Dragon Quest III'', a gadabout that reaches level 55 is able to become a [[Sage]] and they gain some passive bonuses to their magic attributes. In order to become a [[Luminary (vocation)|Luminary]], a character must have reached level 50 as a gadabout and dancer.
{{clear}}

==Notable Gadabouts==
*Selectable vocation in ''Dragon Quest III''.
*[[Torneko]] can be considered a fusion of the Gadabout and Merchant classes, with a little bit of Thief thrown in.
*[[Dhoulmagus]] is referred to by the party and by NPCs as a Jester. Beyond this nomenclature and a superficial resemblance, he has no real relation to the vocation.
*Known as Player (loose translation) in ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters: Caravan Heart]]''.

==Trivia==
*In a 2024 interview in the [[V-jump]] guide book for the HD remake of ''Dragon Quest III'', [[Yuji Horii]] revealed that he created Gadabouts on a whim and that the vocation originally had nothing to do with [[Sage]]s; they were purely meant to give the game more character. Push back from the [[Chunsoft]] staff on the vocation's dubious utility led to him recanting and it was decided to make the goof-offs a shortcut to unlocking to advanced vocation for players who couldn't find the [[words of wisdom]].

Monster recruitment

HamonBeat:

[[File:DQVI monster companions.jpg|right|thumb|350px|The cast of {{DQ6}} along with several monstrous mates and [[Lizzie]].]]
Introduced in {{DQ5}}, the recruitment of bested beasts has appeared in some capacity in nearly every title in the series since 1992. Specifically, the system was present in every even-numbered title beginning with {{DQ6}} until the release of the HD-2D remake of the third game in 2024.

Monster recruitment has been a core aspect of the ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters (series)|Dragon Quest Monsters spin-off series]]'' since its inception in 1996 , as the player takes the role of a [[Monster Wrangler]] who is unable to fight his or her own battles.

Monster recruitment is set to be in the game's 2D-HD Remake, though details are currently unknown.

=={{DQ5}}==
Monster recruitment was simplistic in its original inception, being a fixed percentage that could not be changed by the player. If multiple recruitable {{MFamilies}}s appear in the same encounter, only the final felled foe will have a chance to join the {{Hero 5}}. In the [[Nintendo DS]] and [[cell phone]] versions, {{MFamilies}} allies will only alternate between two lines of dialogue during [[Party Chat]], as opposed to the fuller conversations of human characters.

As of 2019, the [[Cell phone]] ports saw the addition of the [[Monster magnet]] accessory for the the {{Hero 5}}, which when equipped can increase the odds of a {{MFamilies}} joining up by one rank. This is likely due to the release of {{DQYS}}, which would have attracted a new audience to the title and such players would have desired an easier time collecting {{MFamilies}}s.

=={{DQ6}}==
In the original {{SFC}} version of {{VI}} monster recruitment worked identically to {{V}}, though someone in the {{Party 6}} must be a [[Monster Master]] for the chance to activate. When the {{DS}} version (and subsequent [[Cell phone]] ports) were produced, this mechanic was retired in favor of "Slime Buddies": {{Slime}}s players could interact with in towns and dungeons like {{NPC}}s who would join the {{Party 6}} once certain conditions were met as was the case with [[Lizzie]]. These {{Slime}}s are not treated as full characters, however, and thus lack the detailed [[Party Chat]] of humans and [[Lizzie]].

In both versions of the game, any recruited {{Slime}} may enter into the gladiatorial contests at [[Slimopolis]].

Monster recruitment is not present in the seventh game; instead, {{MFamilies}}s will sojourn off to a sort of wild life reserve called the [[Monster Meadows]] that is unlocked during the normal course of the game. Once there, they can be spoken to in their natural habitat as if they were {{NPC}}s, though only three lines of dialogue will be spoken. The [[Animal Magnetism]] skill makes taming these beasts much easier than in previous games, being the first time a player has direct influence on the probability in a numbered title.

Additionally, defeated {{MFamilies}}s will occasionally drop [[Monster Heart]]s. These function similarly to the [[Dragonic Diligence]] and [[Liquid Metal Mind]] scrolls from {{VI}}, and allow the character holding them to take on monster-based vocations at {{Alltrades Abbey 6}}. The main difference is that a character's sprite will change into the corresponding monster once the vocation is mastered.
*In the {{3DS}} remake, the character will immediately become a monster after using a heart.

=={{DQ8}}==
In the {{PS2}} version of the game, players will notice several {{MFamilies}}s wandering the overworld. These infamous beasties prove '''much''' more capable than their randomly encountered counterparts, but once the player pays a visit to [[Morrie]]'s place they can join the party. This allows the monsters to enter the competition in [[Morrie's Place|Morrie's Monstrous Pit]], and through the use of the [[Call Team]] skill they may be summoned into battle for 3 or more turns. All recruited {{MFamilies}}s grow more powerful as the {{Hero 8}}'s Level rises, and do not need to gain battle {{exp}}erience themselves.
*In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] port, all {{MFamilies}}s are visible in the overworld, with the [[infamous monster]]s being given distinctive icons.

=={{DQ10}}==
Certain {{MFamilies}}s can be recruited by players beginning in version 2.0, which saw the return of the [[Monster Wrangler]] vocation to the series after nearly 14 years of absence. Version 2.1 added the [[Item Master]] vocation and it's selection of monsters. The former tames organic {{MFamilies}}s, while the latter handles [[Material family|living objects]] and [[Machine family|robots]], with each having 15 species to choose from.

Taming itself is fairly simple, but players must perform research on the species they want prior to the encounter. This is done in the form of obtaining zoological books on {{MFamilies}}s or user manuals for machines, and using one as an item in battle to unlock the scouting attack for that particular breed. This attack creates a base 10% chance to capture the {{MFamilies}} once it falls. The skill does not need to be the final blow of the battle; as long as it has been used over the course of the encounter the chance to recruit the beast is established. Once tamed, the {{MFamilies}} can join the player immediately or be sent off to the monster bar where most scouting books are obtained, and one character can store up to 24 {{MFamilies}}s at the pub.

Monsters that have joined players are controlled through A.I. dependent on their [[Personality|personality]] and essentially serve as [[party]] members for times when the player's friends and comrades are offline. Monsters have a Level cap of 50, but can undergo a process similar to a [[Revocation]] to further raise their stats. The equipment pool of a given {{MFamilies}} is fixed and cannot be changed, but gear can be shared between the {{MFamilies}} and master: for example a [[Monster Master]] and Hacksaurus can simultaneously wield the same [[Kaiser axe]] in a battle for the sake of player convenience. New to the series is the concept of bonding, a stat that denotes the level of attachment a {{MFamilies}} has to its master and is raised by fighting together. Raising this stat will confer benefits such as additional skill points, and once this stat reaches a certain threshold, a {{MFamilies}} will follow a character regardless of their {{vocation}}.

=={{DQB2}}==
On explorer's shores after [[Skelkatrez]], one can recruit {{MFamilies}}s with [[Monster munchies]]. When a {{MFamilies}} that can be tamed is defeated, there is a chance that it will stand up instead of fading away and a thirty second timer will begin to count down--the munchies must be used in this period or the {{MFamilies}} will become annoyed and go away.

Tamed monsters join the residents of the Island of Awakening as {{NPC}}s, who go about their daily routines as the other islanders do, and some have special effects: the [[Chimaera]]s can be ridden to fly, the [[Powie yowie]] can be given an ice lolly to spread snow, the [[Liquid metal slime]] will play tag once a day for 100 hearts, etc.

==''[[Dragon Quest Monsters|Dragon Quest Monsters 1]]'' & ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters 2|2]]''==
While monsters retain a base chance to join the player upon defeat as in previous games, the chance can be greatly enhanced by using [[monster munchies]] in battle.

=={{DQMJ}} series==
Recruitment is implemented via the ''Scout'' option in the battle menu. When selected, the player's team of {{MFamilies}}s will perform a group assault on the target to impress the {{MFamilies}} into joining. The percentile chance is displayed onscreen, and can easily reach 100% if the group's sum attack power is high enough. However, if the enemy is too durable then the assault can easily leave the player with a big fat 0%--it is imperative to apply [[Oomph]] and [[Sap]] to raise the chances even higher.
*In {{Joker 2}}, tossing a bundle of [[beastie bites]] at the foe will raise the chance by a flat 10%.

=={{DQM3}}==
Monster recruitment builds upon the foundation laid by the ''Joker'' sub-series, but now the wisdom stat will be used for scouting calculation if it is higher than a monster's attack stat. Additionally the [[Big Bully]] and [[Little Menace]] will increase the scouting chance when used against larger or smaller monsters.

'''Bianca Whitaker''' (ビアンカ, ''Bianka'') is a character in {{DQ5}}. She is a childhood friend of the {{Hero 5}} and one of his possible brides.

She has been a regular participant in the ''[[Itadaki Street (series)|Itadaki Street]]'' series, appears as a special guest in {{Dragon Quest IX}}, and is one of the thirteen original playable characters in {{DQH}}. Bianca also appears as a special Hero character in {{DQTact}} alongside {{Nera}} and {{Debora}}.

==Appearance and Personality==
As a young girl, Bianca wore her blonde hair in two braided pigtails with purple hairbands and she wears a long myrtle green cape over an orange dress. She has blue eyes. Bianca also wears silver bracelets, a belt with a silver buckle around her waist, dangling pink earrings, and black shoes with myrtle green socks. As an adult, Bianca wears her hair in a single braid with a silver hairband on the right side of her face and a myrtle green dress with an orange cloak attached. She still wears the same earrings and bracelets she did as a child, as well as a black belt with a silver buckle around her waist, a silver choker, and black leather boots worn with myrtle green stockings held up by string. Bianca is known as a great beauty, and many of the men in [[Stockenbarrel]] and [[Mostroferrato]] comment on her attractiveness.

Like most other characters, her appearance in {{Heroes}} has been embellished slightly. Bianca now wears brown, knee-high leather boots held up with myrtle green ribbons at the top and black thigh-high stockings. Her belt is now yellow with black triangular designs all around it. Bianca's dress and cloak are embroidered with silver and gold designs respectively and her choker is now gold with small green gems decorating it.

Bianca is something of a tomboy as a child and she has a strong sense of justice, demonstrated when she deals with the bullies in [[Roundbeck]]. She has a love of the outdoors and enjoys going on adventures with The {{Hero 5}}, even when the two grow up. In the ten years that pass between their encounters, Bianca has become strong and independent, having to deal with the loss of her mother and her father's sickness. She is known for her good heart and is beloved by the people of Stockenbarrel. She is humble as well, putting the happiness of The {{Hero 5}} before herself when faced with the difficult prospect of choosing a bride and wishes happiness for him at his wedding if he marries either {{Nera}} or {{Debora}}.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ5}}===
The {{Hero 5}} and [[Pankraz|his father]] first meet Bianca Whitaker as a child in [[Whealbrook]]. She and her mother are in town getting medicine for her father. After the herb-maker is found in a cave, [[Pankraz]] escorts them back to their home in [[Roundbeck]].

[[Pankraz]] is thinking of returning, but agrees to stay the night and catches a cold, and the {{Party 5}} is unable to leave. While wandering around town with The {{Hero 5}}, they meet two kids who are bullying a [[Saber|sabrecat cub]]. After some discussion, they agree to give up the cat if they can defeat the ghosts at [[Uptaten Towers]]. This quest is successful, and she names the [[Saber|sabercat]], also giving it a [[Bianca's clothing#Bianca's ribbon|ribbon]].

Bianca is not seen again until much later after the first timeskip. While searching for the [[Circle of Water]] as part of [[Rodrigo Briscoletti|Mr. Briscoletti's]] tasks, The {{Hero 5}} stops in [[Stockenbarrel]] where he meets up with Bianca again. She unlocks a gate blocking the path to the [[Cataract Caves]] where the ring is stored, and accompanies him back to the town of [[Mostroferrato]]. Mr. Briscoletti asks him to choose whether he'll marry Bianca or his daughter {{Nera}} (or his other daughter {{Debora}}, in the [[Nintendo DS]] remake). If the player chose Bianca, the two marry and she will continue to travel with you as The {{Hero 5}}'s [[Heavenly Bride|wife]].

Upon reaching The Hero's homeland, the kingdom of [[Gotha]], it is revealed that Bianca is pregnant and she will stay in the castle to rest until it is time. After he returns from the [[Riteof Passage]], she gives birth to twins: [[Hero's Son (Dragon Quest V)|a boy]] and [[Hero's Daughter (Dragon Quest V)|a girl]]. The {{Hero 5}} is coronated as the new King of [[Gotha]]. After a night of celebrations, Bianca is abducted by monsters while most of the castle inhabitants were passed out. While attempting to rescue her from [[Kon the Knight]] at his [[Knightmare Towers|tower]], it is learned that she has the blood of The Legendary Hero - and for this reason she and her husband are turned to stone by Bishop [[Ladja]].

In the eight years that pass, Bianca's petrified form ended up at the temple of [[Crocodilopolis]]. The {{Hero 5}} and the children are able to finally free her, who rejoins the party. Together, they travel to [[Nadiria]] to find The {{Hero 5}}'s mother, [[Madalena]], and defeat the [[Nimzo|Grandmaster of the Underworld]].

If the player does not marry Bianca, she will return to [[Stockenbarrel]] and remain there throughout the game with her father, (whose health will recover regardless of who The {{Hero 5}} marries). She will not marry, but apparently has admirers and will not meet an unhappy fate in any version of the game, contrary to Internet rumors that said her father would die and she would end up as a mistreated, sad bar maid in [[Mostroferrato]].

====Stats====
Bianca can equip most knives, whips, and staves. Her armor selection includes lightweight tunics, robes, and female-exclusive equipment, but her choice in shields is limited. Unlike the other brides, she can wear the [[Metal king helm]].

Since Bianca is briefly a {{Party 5}} member during the first generation, she starts out at level 1 and learns early magic spells, so unlike the other brides, she has a full selection of fire magic. In the {{Super Famicom}} version, when she rejoins at Stockenbarrel, she will automatically be leveled to level 10. In the {{PS2}} version, her level will be the level she was as a child plus 2. In the {{DS}} and [[Cell phone]] versions, her level will be the level she was as a child plus 10.

|}

====Spells====
Bianca has a similar spell list to {{Nera}}, but she has fewer spells overall since she lacks [[Midheal]], [[Kaboom]] and [[Tick-tock]]. She does possess the lowest level versions of [[Frizz]] and [[Sizz]], which Nera lacks... but {{Nera}} has their higher level variants which outclass them in every way (aside from spell cost). Ultimately, Bianca is a decent mage but her advantages over {{Nera}} lie elsewhere, such as starting at a higher level, having slightly better physical strength, and being able to equip [[Metal king helm]], which Nera cannot.

In contrast, she is overall a superior mage to {{Debora}}, possessing all but one of {{Debora}}'s spells ([[Whack]]), and a few that {{Debora}} does not (most notably, the [[Frizz]] line of spells). She is, however, a weaker physical fighter than {{Debora}} and cannot equip certain weapons that {{Debora}} can.

==={{DQ9}}===
Bianca appears as one of the special guests at the [[Quester's Rest]] in [[Stornway]]. This could be obtained when the [[DQVC]] was available using Nintendo's Wi-Fi Channel. When spoken to, Bianca gives the player different pieces of her outfit for fulfilling certain conditions.
*Bianca's clothes - Received when talking to her.
*Bianca's bracelets - Received after the inn is fully expanded.
*Bianca's braid - Received when it is the player's birthday.
*Bianca's boots - Received when the Hero is a [[Mage]].
The player will receive the [[Accolade]] '''Best Friend Bride''' when having acquired all pieces of her outfit.

==={{DQ11}}===
The {{Luminary}} can visit the Briscoletti mansion on the eve of the wedding via the [[Echo Chamber]] in the Nintendo Switch version of the game. Due to the actions of a [[Pilferpithecus|monster]] sealed away by the Briscoletti ancestor Rodolfo, Bianca has been turned into an exact duplicate of Rodrigo on the eve of her wedding day. Thankfully, the groom is still away from the mansion and the [[Pilferpithecus|monster]] has been located in {{Alltrades Abbey 6}}.

Bianca is very worried about how her father might handle her sudden transformation, fretting about how poor his health is already and that he doesn't need a major shock such as this. Once the transformation has been undone, she expresses her gratitude to the {{Luminary}}. She also mentions that he reminds her of the potential groom, and reminisces about their adventure in Uptaten towers.

Bianca also plays a role in the sabrecat incident at [[Chateau Felix]], loaning her ribbon out to tame [[Saber]] once again. She will be happy to have been of help, and glad that her childhood pet has returned.

===''[[Dragon Quest & Final Fantasy in Itadaki Street Special]]''===
She is one of the three characters from {{V}} featured, alongside [[Nera Briscoletti]] and the {{Hero 5}}.

===''[[Dragon Quest: Monster Battle Road Victory]]''===
Bianca can be summoned to perform a special attack. After leaping from the wagon, she jumps on [[Saber]]'s back and uses the power of the [[Circle of Fire]] to trigger a volcanic eruption to attack the enemy party.

==={{Dragon Quest Heroes}} and {{Dragon Quest Heroes II}}===
Bianca is one of the thirteen playable characters in the first game. She and [[Nera Briscoletti]] have been mysteriously transported to the land of Arba in the Dwarven settlement of Grannet on the night before one of them is about to get married. In order to differentiate her from other playable characters, Bianca uses {{Bow}}s as her weapon of choice in the game, and can cast both [[Frizz]] and [[Snooze]] in battle. Her [[Coup de Grâce]] is Ribbon Let Die, where she uses her ribbon to summon her trusty great sabrecat companion, here named Purrcy, who rushes out and strikes any enemies in front of her. Bianca can also be played in co-op dungeons in {{Heroes 2}}, but cannot be used in the regular story mode.

===''[[Dragon Quest Live Spectacle Tour]]''===
Bianca appears as a character in the stage production played by actress [[Maho Tomita]].

==={{DQRivals}}===
She was featured in several cards, player icons, and card sleeves in both her child and adult forms. Bianca first appeared as a legendary rare card in the second card pack, "Roar of Unleashed Power" and was eventually reprinted in the 8th card pack under the name "Bianca, the Heavenly Bride". Most notably, Bianca won the second card popularity vote with players and received a special illustration depicting her in her wedding dress.

==={{DQYS}}===
Bianca appears as one of the main characters in the film.

==={{DQStars}}===
Bianca appears as a side character in the second part of the {{Dragon Quest V}} story event. If players choose to adventure with her, she will accompany the party in the {{Dragon Quest V}} quests, occasionally finding additional loot, and she will also appear in the multiplayer lobby, if the host chose her. Choosing her also gives players the option to obtain equipment based on her, as well as blonde wigs based on {{Parry}} and {{Madchen}}; and the option to dress Bianca up with any armor the player has -as long as it's equippable by female characters.

In the last {{Dragon Quest V}} event rerun before the Global version closed down, players could obtain Bianca's earrings, and a cosmetic orange ribbon based on the one she gave to [[Saber]].

==={{DQTact}}===
Bianca appears as a S-rank character of the [[Hero family]] as part of the limited {{Dragon Quest V}} event, appearing on her own banner alongside [[Snowbird]]. The player can choose to have her join as a companion in the [[Circle of Water]] event quest. She also appears as a boss in the special Zenithian Brides boss battle with {{Nera}} and {{Debora}}. Bianca could also be scouted by the player by redeeming their Dark Lord/Hero Meeting Ticket S.

==Quotes==
'''[[Knightmare Towers]]'''
:''"'<player>! I knew you'd come. But maybe it would've bin better if you hadn't. The reason them monsters used the Chancellor to snatch me away was so they could lure you into a trap. The ringleader says he's goin' to kill you and then become king in your place! Agh!"''
:''"'Stop! Stop right there, Kon!"''
:''"'Go on, <player>! Now!"''

==Etymology==
Bianca is the Italian form of the name Blanche, which means "white, pure", contrasting her with {{Nera}}, whose name means black in Italian.

==Trivia==
*In {{V}} and {{Dragon Quest Heroes}}, Bianca speaks with a Cornish accent.
*[[Jessica Albert]] compliments Bianca's {{Bow}} arm in {{Heroes}} and states that she'd probably be good with a {{Whip}}, too, referencing the fact that she can equip whips in her original game and the developers were initially considering her whips as a weapon.

The '''Hero''' of {{Dragon Quest III}} is a fabled, Legendary Hero from the days of lore and the ancient history of [[Alefgard]]. Though only appearing in one game, the legacy of The Hero would live on in the "[[Erdrick Trilogy]]", so named for the [[Erdrick|title]] bestowed upon them and carried forth by their descendants.

In {{SSB5}}, The Hero of {{Dragon Quest III}} is playable as an alternate costume for [[Hero (Super Smash Bros.)|the game's version of the Hero]], alongside the {{Luminary}} and the Heroes of ''[[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|Dragon Quest IV]]'' and ''[[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|VIII]]''. This Hero has been given the default name '''Arusu''' (アルス) in order to differentiate him from the other three Heroes appearing in the game. Arusu has also appeared as his default name in official screencaps of the {{Super Famicom}} version and the HD-2D remake of the game. In the [[Dragon Quest III CD Theater|CD Theater]] audio drama of the game, the Hero is named '''Arel''' (アレル).

==Appearance==
Although the Hero can be either male or female, their appearances are practically identical. They are of average height and build, and they have incredibly spiky, dark brown or black hair. The Heroine is slightly shorter than her male counterpart, her hair sticks up less, and she wears a pair of green studs as earrings. Around their forehead is a silver circlet inlaid with a green gem. They wear a long blue tunic over a yellow long-sleeved shirt and pants, a pair of knee-length leather boots, leather gloves, and a long magenta cloak around their necks. They wear a brown leather belt around their waist, and a scabbard strapped to their back.

The Hero wields a simple sword and a grey heater shield with an insignia of a dragon's head and two crossed swords on the front. The Hero's outfit is slightly different in the {{Famicom}} illustrations, having a gold circlet with a blue gem around their forehead, and a dark blue cloak around their neck. They are seen carrying a cutlass and a round version of [[Erdrick]]'s shield. There were also no illustrations of the female [[Erdrick]] until the {{Super Famicom}} remake: in certain illustrations, the female [[Erdrick]]'s outfit is more feminized, making her blue tunic a strapless miniskirt. In certain illustrations and depictions, the male Hero's hair is a lighter shade of brown and the gems on the hero's circlet and the female hero's earrings alternate between green and blue.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ3}}===
The Hero was raised by their [[Hero's Mother (Dragon Quest III)|mother]] and grandfather in their home in [[Aliahan]]. Their father, the renowned warrior [[Ortega]], was tasked by the king of Aliahan to assassinate the world-threatening archfiend [[Baramos]] on the very day of their birth. Sometime later, word of Ortega's supposed death at the [[Great Pit of Giaga]] reaches the kingdom and The Hero's mother proposes that her child can follow in [[Ortega]]'s footsteps to free the world from [[Baramos]]' growing menace. The child is then trained to become a great warrior like their father and, on their sixteenth birthday, they officially depart to save the world. The king gives a word of warning to take companions with them on their quest lest they meet the same fate as their father and instructs them to visit [[Patty's Party Planning Place]] before leaving the safety of [[Aliahan]].

The [[King of Aliahan]] has discreetly sent word of The Hero's journey to the monarchs of every major nation--this is why the Kings and Queen warmly receive them even though the citizenry knows nothing of their mission. The Hero encounters several towns and kingdoms throughout their journey and accomplishes many feats of heroism, such mending the wounds between the {{Faerie}}s and the people of [[Norvik]] and freeing the nation of [[Jipang]] from the deceit of a sinister [[Orochi|serpent]]. Six legendary [[Six Orbs|Orbs]] are gathered by The Hero along their trek, which they use to hatch the legendary Everbird [[Ramia]]. The phoenix is the direct servant of the [[Goddess]], and her camaraderie with The Hero is irrefutable proof of their destiny as the savior of the world. Additionally, The Hero encounters the dying [[Dragon Queen|Queen of Dragons]] in her remote mountain [[Castle of the Dragon Queen|castle]]. Before she succumbs to her age, she gives The Hero the [[Sphere of Light]] and reassures them that their destiny is on of great courage and hardship for the benefit of the entire world.

After defeating [[Baramos]], The Hero returns victorious to [[Aliahan]] only to be confronted by a new nemesis, [[Zoma]]. Taking up a new quest to defeat the true evil, The Hero travels through the [[Necrogond Shrine]] to the world below and arrives in [[Alefgard]], which is sealed in perpetual darkness under the devil's heel. Here, The Hero fights back against the eternal night by freeing the entrapped Goddess [[Rubiss]] and besieging [[Zoma's Citadel]]. Against all odds, The Hero encounters their father fighting in the depths of the castle--[[Ortega]] had fallen into the world below during his fight at the crater of the Giaga volcano and resumed his mission by seeking to kill the evil plaguing both worlds at its source.

Tragically, [[Ortega]] is mortally wounded in a battle with the [[King Hydra]] before he can even reach [[Zoma]], and is so severely burned by the dragon that he can no longer see. Sensing someone is present, [[Ortega]] embraces his death with despair and bemoans his inability to bring peace to his world and that he was never able to see his child grow up. [[Ortega]] then quietly dies in The Hero's arms.

Reaching the lowest level of the castle, The Hero kills the [[King Hydra]] before fighting through the [[Bones of Baramos|animated corpse of Baramos]] and the fiend's very [[Soul of Baramos|soul]] on their way to Zoma's throne. The devil mocks the would-be savior and the battle begins, with [[Zoma]]'s impenetrable shroud of darkness being burned away by the sphere of light and leaving him vulnerable. After a vicious clash, The Hero emerges victorious, and Zoma begins to fade away--warning that hen though he may perish, there will always be [[Dragonlord|an evil]] to take [[Hargon|his place]].

The castle begins to collapse due to the force of the battle, and The Hero emerges from the [[Nail Mark]] north of [[Tantegel]]. The light of the sun has begun to shine in [[Alefgard]] for the first time in untold years, and the people receive The Hero as nothing short of a messiah sent by the [[Goddess]]. The king bestows upon them the title of [[Erdrick]], the most sacred honor that the land has, and the stratum gap between the world above and [[Alefgard]] closes before The Hero can return. Unable to rejoin friends and family above, The Hero settles down in their new home and begins a family that will continue their legacy of standing resolute in the face of desolating evil.

In the {{Super Famicom}} remake of the game and all subsequent ports, The Hero's attribute growth is determined by their [[List of personality types in Dragon Quest III|Personality]]. At the start of the game, The Hero is asked a series of questions by a mysterious voice in the sky, culminating in a short scene in order to see just what type of person The Hero is. There are 32 different personalities that can be assigned at the beginning, but it is possible to change it with the help of various books or accessories that can be found.

The Hero is not a genuine jack-of-all-trades character despite a decent spell list, with their stats focusing more on physical strength and durability more than spell casting--this results in an {{MP}} shortage once expensive spells such as [[Kazap]] and [[Omniheal]] are learned. This can be corrected with the application of an {{MP}}-boosting personality and by consuming [[Seed of magic]] and [[Seed of wisdom]] when found.

The Hero is not able to change classes like other characters in the game, with the abbot of {{Alltrades Abbey 3}} reprimanding them for attempting to slack in their duties. The Hero must always be in the {{Party 3}} until [[Post Game|after]] defeating [[Zoma]].

====Spells====
The Hero is capable of learning a balanced mix of magic from both the [[Priest]] and [[Mage]]'s pools, as well as some that are unique to them, such as [[Kaclang]] and [[Zap]].

====Equipment====
The Hero has access to a very wide range of weapons, ranging from {{Sword}}s, {{Spear}}s, {{Axe}}s, as well as {{Whip}}s and {{Boomerang}}s in the remakes. They are capable of being outfitted with the heaviest armour, shields, and helmets available. [[Erdrick]] is also the only character capable of using the legendary equipment, which will prove useful when fighting against [[Zoma]]. In the remake versions, The Hero begins his journey equipped with a [[Copper sword]] and [[Wayfarer's clothes]].

==={{DQ3HD}}===
The Hero has been buffed considerably in all attributes compared to previous iterations of ''Dragon Quest III'', with MP growth and critical hit ratio in particular being given substantial boosts. This is likely due to the Hero being excluded from the vocation system and thus cannot amass incredible stats by switching professions as the other party members can.
====Stats====
Calculated using the [[everyman]] personality.

*♥ denotes female-only equipment.

==={{DQ9}}===
In this game, it is possible to replicate The Hero's outfit by receiving pieces from defeating either [[Baramos]] or [[Zoma]], who appear as [[Legacy Boss]]es in the game. An accolade is conferred to the player after wearing all of the pieces of this outfit.
*[[Aliahan costume]]

==={{DQ11}}===
In this game’s true ending after [[Serenica]] is shown to reunite with [[Erdwin]], the beginning of {{Dragon Quest III}} is shown, with {{III}}'s Hero appearing at the end to be awoken by their mother before setting off for [[Aliahan]] castle. Their mother was shown reading a red book that detailed the adventure of the {{Luminary}} before walking upstairs to awaken their child--whether this book is a historical account or a work of fiction is unknown.

==={{DQTreasures}}===
Both Heroes are represented as [[List of treasures in Dragon Quest Treasures|statues]], with base values of 5,000,000 each. They are given the title of ''Heralded Hero/Heroine'' for distinction's sake.

==={{DQTact}}===
The Hero is called Hero Erdrick and he appears as a S-rank member of the [[Hero family]] as part of the limited ''True Dragon Quest III'' event, appearing on his own banner alongside [[Baramonster]]. He can participate in [[Robbin' 'Ood|Robbin' 'Ood's]] Battle Road as a party member.

His female counterpart also appears as a S-rank member of the [[Hero family]] as part of the Japan-only limited ''Extreme Dragon Quest III'' event, appearing on her own banner. She can participate in her father, [[Ortega|Ortega's]] Battle Road as a party member.

==={{SSB5}}===
The Hero of {{III}}, under the name Arusu, appears as one of four {{Hero Smash}}es alongside the Heroes of ''[[Hero (Dragon Quest XI)|XI]]'', ''[[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|IV]]'', and ''[[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|VIII]]''. He wields the [[Sword of Kings]] and the [[Hero's Shield]]. While playing as the Hero during Classic Mode, Arusu appears as Round 6's opponent and is fought on the third version of Castle Siege.

==Lineage==
The Hero's bloodline is that of powerful men and women who save the world from the grips of darkness. While every person descended from them carries their spirit, the most notable are the protagonists of the first and second games. These are The [[Hero (Dragon Quest)|Scion of Erdrick]], The {{Prince of Midenhall}}, The [[Prince of Cannock]], and The [[Princess of Moonbrooke]]. Their own adventures would shape the course of history for the betterment of the world and ensures that the name of [[Erdrick]] never leaves the heart of [[Alefgard]].

==Items Iconography==
As the Hero's legacy has grown in the distant time between the third and first game, several items and pieces of equipment that once belonged to The Hero have Erdrick in their names. See the ''[[Erdrick Equipment]]'' article for more details on the sword and armor set, along with the emblem.

Beyond the gear The Hero took into battle, they also left behind a tablet with a message written left for their descendant in {{Dragon Quest}}. It gives instructions on what items are needed to create the [[Rainbow Drop]], which is the location of [[Dragonlord's Castle|Charlock Castle]]. The tablet is found in a small cave that would be named [[Erdrick's Cave]] after their passing.

==Trivia==
*The manga series ''Gintama'' has a parody of ''Dragon Quest'' which stars [http://gintama.wikia.com/wiki/Leukocyte_King Leukocyte King], a character based on {{III}}'s Hero.
*As this is the first game in the mainline, numbered {{DQSeries}} to allow players to determine The Hero's gender, the female version of {{Dragon Quest III}}'s Hero is the first female main protagonist in that series.
*The Hero shares his voice actor in the audio drama with Android 16 from Akira Toriyama's ''Dragon Ball'' series. He also shares his voice with Marth from the ''Fire Emblem'' and ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. [[Hikaru Midorikawa]] also voiced the character Derolin in the original {{The Adventure of Dai}} anime, a false hero who dresses almost identically to the male Hero a few years prior to the CD drama.
**In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', he shares his voice actor, [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0387033/ Nobuyuki Hiyama], with Barry Kahn from ''Dragon Ball Super'' as well as the adult incarnation of Link from ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'' (and, by extension, Link's appearances in the first two ''Super Smash Bros.'' games). ''Super Smash Bros.'' series creator Masahiro Sakurai also noted that Hiyama's performance may be recognized as Guy Shishioh from ''The King of Braves GaoGaiGar'', and that his recording sessions for ''Ultimate'' as {{III}}'s Hero were surprisingly quick and easy, thanks to his extensive prior experience in video game voice-acting.
*The name Arusu (アルス) has appeared various times throughout the series history. It appeared as a default name for the Hero in official screenshots for the {{Super Famicom}} version of {{Dragon Quest III}}. It is also the name of the main character from ''[[Dragon Quest Saga: Emblem of Roto]]'' manga first released in 1991. Arusu has been the default name for the {{Hero 7}} of {{Dragon Quest VII}} in both the official manga adaptation and in various screenshots for the game. Lastly, in the CG movie {{Your Story}}, {{Parry}} was named Alus.
*The Hero of {{Dragon Quest III}} is one of the few heroes in the mainline games to speak. If the Hero is the second character in the party order when entering [[Gaia's Navel]], they will briefly be able to be spoken to and will recite the same dialog as any other {{Party 3}} member.
*With a natural strength cap of just under 500 as of the HD-2D remake, this Hero is the most physically powerful of the eleven.

'''''Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake''''' is a full remake of ''[[Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation|Dragon Quest III]]''. It was originally announced as part of the 35th series anniversary celebration on May 27, 2021.

Unlike previous remakes of ''Dragon Quest III'', the HD-2D remake offers a modernized vision of the original title with additional scenarios, voice acting, [[Monster Wrangler|new vocations]], and modern ''Dragon Quest'' series features such as battle tactics or faster battle settings. The graphics are completely redone in the "HD-2D" style popularized by previous Square Enix published games such as ''Octopath Traveler'' and ''Triangle Strategy''. With the passing of [[Akira Toriyama]] on March 1 2024, artist [https://x.com/fenyo_n Yoshiya "Fenyo_n" Fujisaki] was brought on to the project as the chief illustrator, with Naoki Ikushima providing the game's box art illustration.

==Development==
Remaking ''Dragon Quest III'' was proposed by producer Masaaki Hayasaka, who noted that while the title was available for smart phones, the Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4 etc, these were just ports of the Super Famicom remake made back in 1996 and did not take advantage of modern hardware. The first remake proposal was to develop the game entirely in 3D, but this approach was canned due to the many difficulties of adapting a 2D game into the third dimension; the countless adjustments that would have to be made would have led to the remake feeling too detached from the original. Concurrent to this snag in development was the break out success of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octopath_Traveler Octopath Traveler], which pioneered what is now known as the HD-2D style. Hayasaka then proposed remaking ''Dragon Quest III'' in the same style, to which Horii readily agreed<ref>早坂: HD-2D版が登場する前も Nintendo SwitchやPS4、スマホなどで『DQIII』を遊べましたが、それらは1996年に発売されたスーパーファミコン(以下SFC)酸の移植作でした。つまり、最新技術によるリメイクが長らく行なわれていなかったんです。そんななかで、『オクトパストラベラー』(※1)でHD-2Dの手法が生まれて、「これを活用すれば、映像をアップデートした『DQIII』を作れるのでは」ということで企画が立ち上がりました。
堀井: 僕としても、最新のゲーム機の性能を存分に活かした『DQIII』を遊びたいと思っていたので、リメイクの提案には「ぜひやろう!」と返事をしたんです。堀井: 3Dでリメイクする案もありましたが、 2Dだったものをいきなり3Dにすると、調整が必要な部分が増えて、ゲーム性が変わってしまうんです。でもHD-2Dであれば2Dの味が残るので、最新の映像でファミリーコンピュータ(以下FC) 版と同じ感触の冒険ができていいな、と思いましたね。ドラゴンクエストIII そして伝説へ… レジェンダリーガイドブック ISNB 978-4-08-779822-7 page 394</ref>.

With the presentation decided upon the goal of the project was to respect the original while still adding new elements to enrich the play experience. One example of this was changing the look of each town and castle now that they were not bound to the same tile sprites as they were in the Famicom and Super Famicom versions. As the world of ''Dragon Quest III'' is based on the real world, Hayasaka placed emphasis on reflecting the real life cultures each locale was derived from without altering the classic feeling too much. When Horii compared the HD remake and the Famicom version side by side, he noted the two had a similar atmosphere despite the latter's more primitive graphics, which Hayasaka took as a great personal success<ref>早坂: FC版では、どの町も同じマップチップ (マップを構成するパーツ) が使われているため雰囲気が似ていましたが、HD-2Dになったおかげで間ごとにヨーロッパらしさや日本らしさ、アジアらしさといったちがいを表現できました。『DQIII』のワールドマップは現実世界をモチーフにしているので、実際のイメージを再現できたのは大きな魅になったと思います。
堀井: 今回、思い出は時間とともに美しくなることを実感しましたね。HD-2D版を遊んで、「映像はもう少しチープだったけど、FC版のグラフィックもこんな雰囲気だったな」と思ったのですが、実際に見くらべたら「こんなに簡素だったっけ!?」と(笑)。
早坂: 改めて「こんなにちがうの!?」と驚きました。ただ、そんなふうに感じるということは、FC版を遊んだ当時に脳内に思い浮かべたイメージとHD-2Dの映像がそんなにズレていないとも言えるので、制作者としては大成功です。ドラゴンクエストIII そして伝説へ… レジェンダリーガイドブック ISNB 978-4-08-779822-7 page 394</ref>. This attention to detail extended to the overworld representations of each town and castle as well, something that actually caused a dispute during development. Each locale was given a unique, miniaturized representation on the world map instead of sharing the same sprite tiles as in prior versions, and Hayasaka wanted the player to be able to enter each from any side. The planner contested this and insisted it wasn't realistic enough for a modern game, to which Hayasaka countered that such a feature would be better for difficulty balance as a party in a critical state wouldn't run the risk of being wiped out by monsters when walking towards an entrance on the opposite side of the town. Neither would compromise and Horii settled things by agreeing with Hayasaka<ref>早坂: その仕様は、プランナーと結構もめまして・・・・・・。もし特定の出入口からしか入れなかったら、ボロボロの状態はんたいがわいりぐちでフィールドを歩いて帰ってきたときに、反対側の入口までまわりこむ途中で敵と遭遇して全滅してしまうかもしれない。そうならないように、町のシンボルのどこかに触れればすぐに入れるようにしてほしい、とプランナーに頼んだのですが、「いえ、最新のゲームとして、これくらいのディテールは必要です!」と説得されまして・・・・・・。
堀井: お互いゆずらなかったんだよね?
早坂: はい、めっちゃぶつかりました(笑)。最終的に堀井さんに決めていただいて、いまの形になったんです。
堀井: 町ごとに外観を変えるほどのこだわりを持っているということは、入口の位置もちゃんと対応させたいにちがいないと感じて、OKしました。ドラゴンクエストIII そして伝説へ… レジェンダリーガイドブック ISNB 978-4-08-779822-7 page 394</ref>.

As the original game was known for having a high degree of customization at the time of it's release through the vocations system, this feature was embellished by granting players the ability to personalize the appearances of their characters directly. These specifications will also persist when a character changes vocations, something Hayasaka proposed due to the awkwardness of a male Warrior suddenly becoming an old man once he changed vocations into a Mage and vice-versa. Voice acting for the party was also deemed a necessity in the modern era, with Horii supervising the proper intonations for spells when their names are shouted in battle.

Scenario-wise, Horii deemed that the original ''Dragon Quest III'' had a complete story and thus the new additions would focus on Ortega instead of the protagonist. As one of the core elements of the title was the Hero following their in father's footsteps and slowly catching up with him as the adventure progresses, these new scenario additions would strengthen that theme in a way that didn't disrupt the flow of the overarching story. Particular emphasis was given to scene of Ortega fighting an unknown monster at the volcanic rim of [[Mt. Necrogond]], added in the Super Famicom version, with several of the new scenes showing Ortega's journey leading up to that moment and the unknown monster being fleshed out into the [[Garbgoyle]] villain.

To further emphasis the theme of familial legacy was the creation of the [[Auroral Helm]] item, the upgraded form of [[Ortega's Helm]]. While the Super Famicom remake had included Ortega's Helm as a durable piece of head protection, it was outclassed by the [[mythril helm]] and [[great helm]] items available later in the game, both of which could be equipped by the Hero. The [[GameBoy Color]] port released in 2000 addressed this by giving Ortega's Helm resistances to status ailments, but it was still a sub-optimal choice by the end of the game. Horii noted that many players held a sentimental attachment to the helmet regardless of it's comparative weakness and would equip it even into the confrontation against the final boss despite being a handicap. As it was revealed in the 25th anniversary expo that Ortega's Helm would become [[Erdrick's Helmet]] it was decided to incorporate this into the HD remake. As a bonus, Ortega's dialogue will change if the player wears the Auroral helm while speaking to him in the depths of [[Zoma's Citadel]]<ref>早坂: オルテガのかぶとを今作のかぶとのなかで一番強くしたい、との思いから追加しました。 SFC版ではもっと強いかぶとがあるので、それを装備して最終決戦に向かうプレイヤーも多かったのですが、やはり最後は父親から受け継いだ品を身に着けてほしくて。「DQ」シリーズ25周年記念で開催された「ドラゴンクエスト展」にて、「オルテガのかぶとが、のちにロトのかぶとになった」という設定を明かしていたので、それを取り入れました。
堀井:「思い入れのある父親のかぶとをかぶって最後の敵を倒したい」と思うプレイヤーも結構いるでしょうから、今回は性能を上げて装備しやすくしたんです。
早坂: しかも、今回はオルテガとの再会シーンの展開が分岐するのですが、その条件としてもかぶとを活用しました。ひかりのかぶとを装備していると、最後のオルテガの反応が変わるんですよ。あのシーンのセリフは、もちろん外の部分はできるだけ変えない方針でした。
堀井: とてもせつない感じになっていると思いますよ。ドラゴンクエストIII そして伝説へ… レジェンダリーガイドブック ISNB 978-4-08-779822-7 page 396</ref>.

When it came to modernizing the battle system it was decided from the beginning to include skills, which had become a staple of the series since their inclusion in ''[[Dragon Quest V]]'' in 1992. The inclusion of skills required a rebalancing of the monsters' capabilities in battle to establish a good difficulty curve, as well as raising the amount of monsters that could appear in a single battle from 4~5 to 8. The implementation of AI-controlled party members was a carryover from the smart phone port of the Super Famicom remake, but was further refined to be more intelligent. Humorously this new intelligence lead to the AI characters casting [[Whack]] and [[Thwack]] over and over even on enemies who were immune to instant death before the programming was altered, inadvertently recreating [[Kiryl]]'s infamous blunders from the Famicom version of ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''<ref>早坂: すでにAIが搭載されていたスマホ版をベースにしていますが、さらに賢くなっています。なんなら人間よりも最適な行動を選んでくれるかもしれません。
堀井: 自分でターンの最初にコマンドを選ぶのとちがって、AIは順番がまわってきたときに行動を決めるから、ムダがなくて強いんです。ただ、やっぱりボス戦では、自分でコマンドを入れるほうが緊張感があって楽しめますね。
早坂: その点は意識しました。「強敵との戦闘では、自分でコマンドを入力したほうが善戦できる」という感覚は、これまでの「DQ」を踏襲しています。
堀井: AIは『DQIV』ではじめて使いましたが、そこからどんどん進化していきましたね。『DQIV』ではクリフトがザキやザラキを連発してましたが(笑)、あれはザキが効くと敵のHPがゼロまで減っちゃうので、AIが「大ダメージを与えられる」と判断して選択評価が高くなるからなんです。それを反省して、つぎに作るときは「ザキはまず効かないだろう」という先入観”をAIに組み入れました。
早坂: 今回の開発作業中も、ザキやザラキを覚えるとAIが積極的に使いはじめる状況になったことがありましたね。「DQ」の開発では、毎回この悩みがあるみたいです。ドラゴンクエストIII そして伝説へ… レジェンダリーガイドブック ISNB 978-4-08-779822-7 page 396</ref>.

The addition of the Monster Wrangler vocation came about due to the age ratings boards of overseas nations being stricter than in Japan. This meant that the traditional mini-game of betting on monster fights to win money needed to be axed due to resembling real life gambling, and it was decided to replace the system with a [[Monster Arena]] styled like the one seen in ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]'' where the player's team of monsters compete for prizes. This decision was also based on play-tester feedback, who requested that the larger village/castle/dungeon maps of the HD version be given more features to fill in the new space. As such recruitable monsters were deposited in various areas, thus addressing both issues at simultaneously. The Monster Wrangler was added to further enrich the system, rewarding the player in a practical way with the vocation reaching greater potential the more monsters the player recruits<ref>早坂: まず、海外のレーティング(対象年齢制限)の関係で、原作にあったモンスター格闘場のオッズシステム(魔物同士の戦いにゴールドをベットする仕組み)が使用できなくなり、そのかわりとして過去の「DQ」シリーズからモンスター・バトルロードを取り入れることになりました。また、HD-2D化によってマップが広くなったため、新しい遊びを追加したい、という要望もあったんです。このふたつを解決するために、新職業でまもの使いを採用すれば「広い世界でモンスターを集めてバトルロードで戦わせる」という形でうまくまとまるのでは、と考えて追加が決まりました。フィールドの隠しエリア (ひみつの場所)も、当初はどのように活用するか決まっていませんでしたが、まもの使いやバトルロードが採用されたことを受けて、はぐれモンスターの隠れ場所になったんです。まもの使いによって、いろいろな要素がうまくはまっていった感覚でした。
堀井: 新職業は、プロモーションでしばらく内緒にしていましたが、 PVでちょっとゲーム内の姿が出た瞬間にまもの使いだとバレちゃいましたね。さすが、「DQ」ファンは鋭いです。ドラゴンクエストIII そして伝説へ… レジェンダリーガイドブック ISNB 978-4-08-779822-7 page 396</ref>.

The inclusion of the [[Grand Dragon]], the superboss who was added to the GameBoy Color version of ''Dragon Quest III'' in 2000, was a response to feedback from players that noted his absence from the ports of the Super Famicom version and desired to fight him once more. The abode of the Grand Dragon, the [[Temple of Trials]], was created as a means to satisfy players that wanted to continue playing after the credits rolled and those seeking a considerable challenge. As the [[Monster Medal|monster medals]] feature from the GameBoy Color version was decided to not be brought forward for the HD remake, the [[Ice Cave]] bonus dungeon that originally housed the Grand Dragon was replaced with the heavenly Temple of Trials <ref>早坂: クリア後のやりこみ要素として何を入れようかと考えたときに、ゲームボーイカラー(以下GBC)版の隠しボスであるグランドラゴーンが候補にあがりました。この敵はGBC版にしか登場しておらず、「ほかの移植版でも戦いたい」との声が以前から多く寄せられていたんです。そこで、今回のリメイクではグランドラゴーンを登場させることになり、せっかくだからダンジョンのデザインも一新して、試練の神殿という荘厳な場所になりました。こういったやりこみ要素は「DQ」シリーズではおなじみですから、みなさんに楽しんでもらえるのではないでしょうか。
堀井: エンディングを迎えても「まだ終わりたくない!」と思う人に添える内容になっているので、遊び人4人で挑戦するとか、いろいろと試してほしいですね。ドラゴンクエストIII そして伝説へ… レジェンダリーガイドブック ISNB 978-4-08-779822-7 page 397</ref>.

''Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake'' was formally announced during the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfmOWgfYVjY| series 35th anniversary livestream] on May 26, 2021. Beta footage that dirfers from the final product was shown, along with a debriefing from producer Masaaki Hayasaka. In his typical mischievous fashion Yuji Horii also let it slip that [[Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake|remakes of the first two games]] and that there would be surprises in store for those who played the trio in chronological order, much to the chagrin of his co-host and live English translator.
