Erdrick

Roto (Loto in the GBC translations, Erdrick in the NES localizations)  is the title bestowed on the hero of Dragon Quest III after slaying Zoma. This moniker is used to refer to the hero of Dragon Quest III throughout Dragon Quest and Dragon Quest II. This title serves as a major connecting point between Dragon Quest III and Dragon Quest I and II (along with Alefgard). As a result, the first 3 games in the Dragon Quest series are often referred to as the Erdrick Trilogy.

Trivia

• In the DS remake of Dragon Quest V, if the player names their character Madason then their father, who usually recommends that name, will make Erdrick his suggestion instead.
