The Hero next encounters Carver in [[Somnia (Upper World)|Somnia]] after bumping into him and again during the initiation trial at [[Gardsbane Tower]]. Carver wishes the Hero good luck and hopes the best man wins, which is noticed by the test supervisors as the kind of cooperation the Somnian military is looking for. Newly pressed into service, Carver and the Hero are first sent to investigate rumors of a ferocious mustang menacing the countryside, which results in the duo gaining ownership of Peggy Sue and the castle's finest [[Wagon]]. The duo's next assignment has them search for any clues as to the location of [[Ra's Mirror]]: the journey gives insight into Carver's excellent carpentry skill, and results in a reunion with Milly in a [[Lower World]].

After a lengthy discourse with madam Luca Luminesta, joining with [[Ashlynn]], fighting fake Murdaw, and getting ownership of a legendary vessel through the help of [[Nevan]], Carver joins the Hero in the second siege of [[Murdaw's Keep]]. In the castle Carver discovers a statue of his exact likeness, and upon touching it fuses with the stone--his original body Murdaw stripped from him in the game's opening. Realizing that "he" was the idealized version of himself, Carver comes to terms with the reality of the situation and his past as the runaway son of a master craftsman who dreamed of becoming a legendary martial artist. Carver's inner fire burns brighter after becoming whole, and learns [[Knuckle Sandwich]].

Carver appears as one of the playable characters in the game. He uses Gauntlets as his weapon of choice and speaks with an Irish accent.
Carver appears in Dragon Quest Heroes II as the third set of otherworldly characters the party encounters, alongside [[Terry]]. The Dynamic Duo is first encountered in the Wildwood area after the heroes knock out the [[Hacksaurus|leader of the jungle]] which prompts him to send out a cry for help before collapsing. Mistaking the interpret heroes as the mysterious kidnappers that have been stealing their monster friends, the duo engage in battle with the protagonists until Carver calls off the fight upon realizing they are not the targets. Knowing they can't stay within the woods forever, and that having allies familiar with the terrain would help them uncover the mystery of the missing monsters, the two join the party on their quest. In this title, Carver speaks with an Irish accent.
 
In game Carver is given the title “Ten Tons of Trouble” with his weapon of choice being the Gauntlets. In contrast to the [[Alena| other martial artist’s]] fast and combo heavy fighting style, Carver plays more akin [[Yangus]] from the previous title, emphasizing on slow yet powerful charged attacks and the ability to combo any of his moves together. Additionally, charging Carver’s attacks not only greatly increases their range, but also heightens the chance of landing critical hits. His [[Coup de Grâce]] is a stronger variation of [[Boulder Toss]].

*Carver's syntax is significantly different between ''IX'', where he speaks with a Cockney accent similar to [[Yangus]], and ''VI'' were he speaks with no discernible accent but peppers his sentences with nautical phrases and terms used in carpentry. This discrepancy can be attributed to the two games being localized by [[Plus-Alpha]] and [[8-4 ltd]], respectively.

Carver is a mountain of a man, towering over most characters. He wears a grey open vest along with a turquoise-colored pair of shorts, and an orange sash lengthened by a piece of rope. Over his shorts, he wears a light-green mawashi, a type of loincloth similar to those worn by sumo wrestlers in real life. He also wears black shoes with a pair of light-green socks. He is noticeably more tan than the rest of the characters. Coupled with his purple mohawk, Carver's appearance is among the most distinct in the game.

Despite his intimidating build, Carver is a kind and friendly man, and starts a friendship with the Hero soon after they meet. Almost always jovial, Carver does his best to stay positive in darker moments, and tries to keep the mood light with a quick joke or a pun. A bit of a braggart, Carver thinks highly of himself and isn't afraid to accept any praises from villagers for the group's good deeds.

Appearances[edit]

Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation[edit]

Warning: Spoilers!
Click expand to view content
Carver appears in the cold opening alongside the Hero and Milly. Their assault on Murdaw ends in disaster when the leathery wizard turns them to stone, resulting in the Hero falling out of bed and awakening from a nightmare.

The Hero next encounters Carver in Somnia after bumping into him and again during the initiation trial at Gardsbane Tower. Carver wishes the Hero good luck and hopes the best man wins, which is noticed by the test supervisors as the kind of cooperation the Somnian military is looking for. Newly pressed into service, Carver and the Hero are first sent to investigate rumors of a ferocious mustang menacing the countryside, which results in the duo gaining ownership of Peggy Sue and the castle's finest Wagon. The duo's next assignment has them search for any clues as to the location of Ra's Mirror: the journey gives insight into Carver's excellent carpentry skill, and results in a reunion with Milly in a Lower World.

After a lengthy discourse with Madame Luca Luminesta, joining with Ashlynn, fighting fake Murdaw, and getting ownership of a legendary vessel through the help of Nevan, Carver joins the Hero in the second siege of Murdaw's Keep. In the castle Carver discovers a statue of his exact likeness, and upon touching it fuses with the stone--his original body Murdaw stripped from him in the game's opening. Realizing that "he" was the idealized version of himself, Carver comes to terms with the reality of the situation and his past as the runaway son of a master craftsman who dreamed of becoming a legendary martial artist. Carver's inner fire burns brighter after becoming whole, and learns Knuckle Sandwich.

During the ending sequence, Carver returns to his family in Port Haven to continue his father's carpentry business.

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies[edit]

On April 29, 2011, Carver began appearing as a special guest at the Quester's Rest in Stornway. This could be downloaded through the DQVC using Nintendo's Wi-Fi channel when it was still available. When spoken to, he will give the Hero different pieces of his outfit is certain conditions are fulfilled.

The player will receive the special Accolade Punk-Haired Pugilist if the Hero wears all parts of Carver's costume. However, it is only possible for a male Hero to earn this Accolade because Carver's Vest and Shorts are marked as male only and not even the Wear-with-all award.

Dragon Quest Heroes II: Twin Kings and the Prophecy's End[edit]

Carver appears in Dragon Quest Heroes II as the third set of otherworldly characters the party encounters, alongside Terry. The Dynamic Duo is first encountered in the Wildwood area after the heroes knock out the leader of the jungle which prompts him to send out a cry for help before collapsing. Mistaking the interpret heroes as the mysterious kidnappers that have been stealing their monster friends, the duo engage in battle with the protagonists until Carver calls off the fight upon realizing they are not the targets. Knowing they can't stay within the woods forever, and that having allies familiar with the terrain would help them uncover the mystery of the missing monsters, the two join the party on their quest. In this title, Carver speaks with an Irish accent.

In game Carver is given the title “Ten Tons of Trouble” with his weapon of choice being the Gauntlets. In contrast to the other martial artist’s fast and combo heavy fighting style, Carver plays more akin Yangus from the previous title, emphasizing on slow yet powerful charged attacks and the ability to combo any of his moves together. Additionally, charging Carver’s attacks not only greatly increases their range, but also heightens the chance of landing critical hits. His Coup de Grâce is a stronger variation of Boulder Toss.

Trivia[edit]

  • Carver's syntax is significantly different between IX, where he speaks with a Cockney accent similar to Yangus, and VI were he speaks with no discernible accent but peppers his sentences with nautical phrases and terms used in carpentry. This discrepancy can be attributed to the two games being localized by Plus-Alpha and 8-4 ltd, respectively.
  • Carver bears a strong resemblance to the Southern Daikaioshin from Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball manga. Appropriately, said character is the physically strongest of his group.
  • Carver was briefly considered for the role of protagonist for Dragon Quest Monsters 2, before it was decided to use original characters and separate the spinoff series from the world of Dragon Quest VI[1].
