'''Saber''' is a character in {{Dragon Quest V}}.


==Section heading==
He is a {{MFamilies}} the {{Hero 5}} will always recruit, first as a cub then as a full grown adult. He is a [[Great sabrecub]] in the first generation and then becomes a [[Great sabrecat]], a large sabertooth leopard monster in the last couple of generations.


Write the first section of your article here.
==Bio==
Saber is one of the names that [[Bianca Whitaker]] will suggest when you first recruit Saber. Players first see Saber in the child part of the game where several children are bullying a small cat in [[Roundbeck]]. They will only stop it if the {{Hero 5}} and {{Bianca}} fight the ghosts in the castle north of the village. After accomplishing this, the kids complete their end of the deal and leave the cat alone.


==Section heading==
As gratitude, Saber emotionally bonds to The {{Hero 5}} to become a {{Party 5}} member for the rest of the child section of the game. {{Bianca}} gives him an equippable [[Bianca's clothing#Bianca's ribbon|Ribbon]] before she leaves the {{Party 5}}. The {{Hero 5}} and Saber become separated at the end of the first part of the game.


Write the second section of your article here.
They would meet again years later as adults, when The {{Hero 5}} is called on to save [[Hay|a village]] from a monster. The {{Hero 5}} learns that the "monster" has its lair in a dark cave. Saber, now an adult, will not quite remember The {{Hero 5}} and is considered impossible to defeat with a large amount of {{HP}}, though he does not attack, due to The {{Hero 5}}'s scent being familiar to him. The only way to end the battle is to use {{Bianca}}'s Ribbon on him. Thus, he will recognize The {{Hero 5}} and rejoin him for the rest of the game. If The {{Hero 5}} does defeat Saber in battle, he will be sent back outside the room and the battle will be repeatable.
 
==Stats==
As a permanent member of the {{Party 5}}, Saber is a very powerful ally to use. He can not use magic, but has incredible {{Attack}} and {{Defense}} as well as some very powerful techniques. Saber is also one of the fastest characters in the game and often can strike before anyone else.
 
As the [[Nintendo DS]] port of game allows four members, Saber becomes a matter of choice on usage depending on the player's styles.  The {{Hero 5}} and [[Hero's Son (Dragon Quest V)|his son]] are the strongest characters in the game and [[Hero's Daughter (Dragon Quest V)|the daughter]] can learn the best spells in the game so many players are suggested to use them. Players who like focusing on attacking opt to use Saber or {{Bianca}}/[[Debora Briscoletti]] as their fourth character while players who prefer to use magic will use [[Nera Briscoletti]]. Note that Saber's Level will cap at 20 while as a [[Great sabrecub]] in Generation 1.

==Trivia==
*Saber is called '''Purrcy''' in {{DQH}}, {{Tact}} and {{DQYS}} and is featured when {{Bianca}} uses her [[Bianca's clothing#Bianca's ribbon|Ribbon]] during her High Tension super move.
*{{Bianca}} suggests ten names for Saber: Saber, Leo, Spot, Mohicat, Tom, Purrcy, Mogy, Punk, Pyjamas and Baumren. If the player rejects all of them, she'll cycle through the list again.
**In the the {{PlayStation 2}} version, there are eight possible names: Rusty, Borongo, Andre, Fluffy, Lynx, Growly, Peach, Zorro
*All the names {{Bianca}} picks out for the sabrecat (including Purrcy) are derived from a children's book at her home in [[Roundbeck]].
