'''Doric''' ('''Dirk''' in Japanese) is a main character in {{DQH}}. He is the king of Arba.

==Description==
Many kings are content to sit upon their thrones while intrepid heroes toil to prevent the world from sliding into chaos...but not this one! Leading by example, he is found on the frontline, inspiring his subjects with his unfailing optimism, good natured humor, commanding belly laugh and a rather intimidating quarterstaff.

Doric is a weighty warrior king who combines stunning strength, stupendous speed and a spectacular selection of skills. His Crushed Ice attack unleashes a stinging series of snowy strikes perfect for finishing off fleeing foes.

==Other Appearances==
==={{DQH2}}===
King Doric appears in Dragon Quest Heroes II as a recurring character that can be played as in co-op dungeons, but is unable to be used in the regular story mode. His moveset is mostly unchanged from the previous game, and is also used for the protagonists should they equip the same weapon. Additionally he is unable to equip any staves, being locked to the King's cudgel, though he can still equip Orbs and accessories.
