The Prince of Cannock (サマルトリア王子 Prince of Sumaltria) is a playable character in Dragon Warrior II, and is one of three descendents of Erdrick who journeys to defeat Hargon after his attack on Moonbrooke, and is the second playable character added to the party after the Prince of Midenhall.

The Prince of Cannock's abilities are a mix between both of his cousins, the Prince of Midenhall and the Princess of Moonbrooke. Though he is physically strong, he is weaker than the Prince of Midenhall, and while he can use magic, most of his spells are not as powerful as those available to the Princess of Moonbrooke.

In the Japanese version, he is described as a slacker, a drinker and an overall really fun guy; however, in the American version the Prince of Cannock is not so much of a slacker as he is a studious young man immersed in his studies.

Upon learning of the tragedy that befell Moonbrooke, the Prince of Cannock set out on a journey, first travelling to the Spring of Bravery. Later, he met the Prince of Midenhall at the inn in Leftwyne, where the two cousins joined forces and began travelling together.

Appearance and Personality

He is shorter then the Prince of Midenhall, but taller then the Princess of Moonbrooke. In the Japanese version of the game the prince has orange hair and wears a green tunic with Erdrick's crest on the chest and a pair of goggles on his head. In the American version of the game he is still wearing the odd goggles on his head, but his tunic has been replaced with a full suit of green armor. He set out to find his cousin, the Prince of Midenhall, in order to fight Hargon.

Equipment

The Prince of Cannock can equip a wide variety of weapons and armor though not as many as the Prince of Midenhall, but when you fight Hargon, he should be wearing: Magic Armor, the Iron Spear or Falcon Sword, and The Shield of Strength.

The prince sets out to meet his cousin after hearing of Hargon's attack on Moonbrooke. However, the 2 have difficulty finding one another until they meet at the inn in Leftwyne. Together they set out to defeat Hargon together. The player is unable to travel south to Hamlin until the prince of Cannock is in the party, making him an essential companion.

The prince plays a support role in battle, as he does not have great strength and cannot equip the best weapons and armor.

In the remakes of Dragon Quest II, the prince becomes ill after staying at the inn in Beran. The other heroes must travel and retrieve a Leaf of the World Tree in order to cure him and continue adventuring.
