Hardie (Strom in the NES version) is a temporary playable character in Dragon Quest IV. Torneko finds him front of the church in Chapter 3 at Endor, looking for work. In exchange for advance payment of 400 Gold Pieces, he is willing to join Torneko for a 5 days at a time. He lends his considerable physical strength and bulk to Torneko's quest for treasure.

Due to having a fear of dogs, however, he won't join if Torneko has Fido with him. After Chapter 3, he can no longer be recruited.

In Chapter 5, his fortune is told to him by Meena just before the Hero arrives in Endor.
