Captain N: The Game Master

An Axe knight appears in Episode 23 "Trojan Dragon". It appeared in a cave guarding both the Flame sword and the Silver shield, only to lose both of them to Captain N. Axe knight is the only other character besides the Dragonlord, Blue dragon and Slimes that appeared in the series. Axe knight is immune to the Zapper, while dodged due to Kevin's use of the pause button on his Power Pad.

Etymology

Aberrant is a synonym for deviant, meaning a person or thing that deviates from what is normal and accepted.

Trivia

  • The monster's field notes from Dragon Quest Heroes II are partially incorrect when they refer to the knight aberrant miniboss in Dragon Quest I. The monster is guarding Erdrick's armour, not Erdrick's sword.
