For the monster vocation in Dragon Quest VII, see Ersatz Estark (vocation).

It is a mechanical monster built in imitation of Estark, the Emperor of Hell.

Characteristics

Ersatz Estarks are massive mechanical suits of living purple armour with a fearsome demonic face in the center of its body. In each hand, they wield a broadsword that they use to unleash devastating slashing attacks. Their arsenal consists of powerful explosive magic and breathing out blasts of ice-cold air from their maws. They can also nullify any beneficial effects possessed by their enemies with a Disruptive Wave or by emitting a mysterious mist on the battlefield. It is unlikely that this monster is the same Estark that appears in other titles, especially since it is a normal monster (though its appearance bears a homage to both him and Psaro). Regardless, the Ersatz Estarks that are fought are still very powerful and are also one of the monsters that players can become, either by mastering other monster vocations or by obtaining an Ersatz Estark's heart.

In the Nintendo 3DS version, it is possible to obtain an Ersatz Estark heart by creating a Traveller's Tablet with one as the boss, although it will be a formidable opponent.
