The '''Ersatz Estark''' is an advanced monster vocation in {{Dragon Quest VII}}.

==Description==
The Ersatz Estark is a purple variant of the [[Slaughtomaton]], being a powerful mechanical monster with a fearsome demonic face that wields a pair of swords. This vocation offers moderate to sharp boosts in all categories and drops in none of them. At rank 8, characters will gain a strong resistance to all status ailments and elements.

==Requirements==
In order to become an [[Ersatz Estark]], a character must first master the [[Rashaverak (Vocation)|Rashaverak]] and [[Slaughtomaton (Vocation)|Slaughtomaton]] vocations. Although the Ersatz Estark Heart exists in the files for the original Sony PlayStation version, it is unobtainable by normal means.
*In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version, it became possible to acquire an Ersatz Estark Heart as a reward by creating a [[Traveller's Tablet]] with one as a boss and defeating one.
