Trivia
Erik is the second major Dragon Quest character to be depicted as left-handed after Angelo from Dragon Quest VIII. Single weapons are always held in his left, while his dual-wielding skill makes it clear that his left hand is dominant. In addition many cutscenes showing him favoring his left hand to use or hold everyday items.
