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.

==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 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 coronet 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, held by another leather belt across the chest.

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.

==={{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.
