The '''Orochi''' is a many headed monster found in {{DQ3}} and a servant of [[Baramos]]. In contrast to her bestial appearance, she is a cruely cunning snake capable of manipulating people to further its own ends.

==Characteristics==
The design of Orochi is the one of an enormous dragon that is covered in green scales and has five heads instead of one. At the top of each head there are grey, purplish colored crests that stem from the front of the head to the base of the neck. In each limb there are four fingers that end up in white, sharp claws. It has red eyes with no pupils.

==Appearences==
==={{DQ3}}===
The Orochi masquerades as [[Pimiko]]–the queen of [[Jipang]], and uses the disguise to create a despicable ruse: Pimiko has reached a compromise with "Orochi", agreeing that if the monster is given sacrifices of young girls at regular intervals then she will not attack the village directly.

When the {{Hero 3}} defeated the Orochi in her [[Orochi's Lair|lair]], she dropped the [[Orochi sword]] from her tail and retreats through a portal to Pimiko's Palace in Jipang. Stepping through the portal, the player sees Pimiko severely wounded and being tended to by a panicking handmaiden. When it became clear that the Orochi was pretending to be Pimiko, the monster telepathically spoke to the Hero and struck a bargain: keep quiet about her secret and allow her to continue gorging herself on maidens, and she will spare the lives of the party.

Orochi is hemorrhaging considerably after the first battle and is in no position to threaten anyone: Hero and company battle the beast once more, slaying her and freeing the people of Jipang.

Orochi is on her last legs in the second battle, only able to occasionally spew the intense flames that made her first battle difficult. Players need only apply kabuff liberally and sap her once to manhandle the monster with impunity.

Orochi appears as the boss of the 100 Pals Room Gate, its speech and surroundings an allusion to its appearance in ''Dragon Quest III''. Once [[Terry]] defeats it in battle, it will go on a rampage due to its being upset about losing. Its massive build and weight causes the bit of land Terry is standing on to start to give way, putting him in danger. Just in time, a mysterious cloaked swordsman (who is actually Terry's future self) arrives on the scene and finishes Orochi off, saving Terry's life. This entire scene will only occur if Terry defeats Orochi before clearing the Gate of Reflection.

Orochi returns as a boss battle in the Jipang scenario.

==={{DQTact}}===
Orochi appears as an A-rank monster of the [[Dragon family]] and can be unlocked through collecting Orochi Marks from the Cave of Trials. She can learn Tail Hammer, [[Rolling Attack]], and [[Scorch]] naturally. Her Leader Skill raises the [[Frizz]] breath potency of herself and her allies by 10%.
She reprises her role in the Dragon Quest III event, mistaking [[Mindini]] for a sacrifice and is fought by
Majellan and the monsters. After her defeat, she spits Mindini farther into [[Manoza]]. She is also fought in [[Armful]]'s Battle Road in Chapters 6 and 7, the former of which she attacks Armful for using a female [[Walking corpse]] as a human maiden and the latter for workout training after getting chubby from eating maidens. She helps Armful get back into Baramos (And indirectly) [[Zoma]]'s army after she is defeated the first time.

==Trivia==
*Orochi's sex is confirmed in Dragon Quest III as female by {{NPC}} dialogue.
*If the Hero does not chase Orochi through the portal upon her initial defeat (instead leaving the cave), she will be standing in the same spot later, forcing the palyer to battle her again. She does not drop the Orochi sword more than once, though.
*The dreadful beast and the events surrounding Jipang and the arrival of the Hero are based on the Japanese legend of the [[wikipedia:Yamata no Orochi|Yamata no Orochi]]. Yamato no Orochi is an eight-headed and eight-tailed dragon who demands human sacrifices, and who is slain by the thunder god [[Wikipedia:Susanoo-no-Mikoto|Susanō no Mikoto]]. The Orochi sword is likewise a reference to the [[wikipedia:Kusanagi|Kusanagi]], a sword found within the body of Orochi.

The '''Prince of Cannock''' is a character in the {{DQSeries}} that appears as a playable party member in {{DQ2}}. He 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. He also has a sister who is the [[Princess of Cannock]].

The Prince of Cannock's abilities are a mix between both of his cousins, the [[Hero (Dragon Quest II)|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 terms of statistics and spell choices, the Prince of Cannock has more in common with the other Heroes of the series.

Upon learning of the tragedy that befell Moonbrooke, the Prince of Cannock set out on a journey, first travelling to the [[Wellspring of the Hero]]. 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==
Of the three titular luminaries of the legendary line, the Prince of Cannock falls in the middle in terms of height. In the Japanese box art and all other versions of the game, the prince has shaggy orange hair and wears a green tabard with Erdrick's crest on the chest and an orange cape attached over form-fitting black clothes. He also wears green gloves and boots, as well as a pair of goggles on his head. In the American box art for the NES 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. The Prince is also seen carrying a green shield with a red jewel in the middle and wields a nondescript [[rapier]].

In the Japanese version, the Prince is described as a slacker, a drinker, and an overall really fun guy; however, in the NES American version the Prince of Cannock is described as a studious young man immersed in his studies. This is presumably due to the heavy censorship [[Nintendo|Nintendo of America]] enforced during the late 80s and early 90s. Later versions are loyal to the Japanese script and refer to the Prince in the same way.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ2}}===
The Prince of Cannock sets out to aid his cousin, the Prince of Midenhall, when word of the sacking of Moonbrooke castle reaches him. Unfortunately, the Prince does not stay in one place for long and leads the player on a wild goose chase until meeting up with him at the inn of [[Leftwyne]].

Later in the game in all versions besides the NES original, the prince becomes ill after staying at the inn in [[Beran]]. The other heroes can travel to a small island with a single tree tile upon it and retrieve a [[Yggdrasil Leaf]] in order to cure him and continue adventuring, or may leave him behind. Doing such only slightly affects the ending of the game, where the prince's dialogue bemoans how awful his luck is.

====Equipment====
The Prince of Cannock can equip a wide variety of weapons and armor, though not as many as the Prince of Midenhall, nor as potent. When fighting [[Hargon]], he should be wearing: [[Magic Armor]], the [[Iron Spear]] or [[Falcon Sword]], and the [[Shield of Strength]]. In remake versions of the game, he has access to a wider variety of equipment, such as Erdrick's Sword and the Aurora Blade.

==={{DQ9}}===
On October 1, 2010, the Prince of Cannock began appearing as a special guest under the name of '''Prince Princeton''' 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 (Dragon Quest IX)|Hero]] different pieces of his outfit is certain conditions are fulfilled.
*[[Cannock cloak]] - Received when talking to him.
*[[Cannock helm]] - Received when it is the player's birthday.
*[[Cannock trousers]] - Received after the inn is fully expanded.
*[[Cannock boots]] - Received when the Hero is an [[Armamentalist]].
*[[Cannock gloves]] - Received after completing [[List_of_quests_in_Dragon_Quest_IX:_151-184|Quest #157]].
A special [[Accolade]] is earned if the Hero wears all of the parts of the Prince of Cannock's costume.

==={{DQ11}}===
When the Luminary visits Cannock and speaks with the king, the monarch explains that his son vanished in a puff of smoke the moment he declared his intent to vanquish the Children of Hargon, and asks the Luminary to seek him out. True to form, the Prince of Cannock is always one step ahead of the party, and the group must visit the [[Roamer Encampment]], the [[Imperial Pantry of Parthenia]], and [[Whealbrook]] before being told the young man is wandering in the [[Neverglade]] forest.

===''[[Dragon Quest Rivals]]''===
The prince appears as a playable character, introduced in the "Triumph of Heroes" card pack released after the game's title changed to ''Dragon Quest Rivals Ace''. He is featured in three different cards, referencing his meeting with the Prince of Midenhall in Leftwyne, his illness in the town of Beran, and the prince casting Kamikazee.

===''[[Dragon Quest of the Stars]]''===
The prince appears as a recruitable ally in the scenarios based on ''Dragon Quest II''. His habit of keeping one step ahead of the player persists in the game, much to [[Cyril]]'s outrage.

===''[[Itadaki Street Special]]''===
The Prince of Cannock is a playable character in ''[[Itadaki Street Special]]''.

===''[[Dragon Quest Tact]]''===
The Prince of Cannock is called Rickerd and he appears as an S-rank member of the Hero family as part of the limited ''Dragon Quest II'' event. He can learn Fizzling Multislash, [[Kasizz]], and Burning Strike naturally and his [[Coup de Grâce]] is Cannock Clash. His Leader Perk increases the [[Sizz]] potency of allies, including himself, in a range of 5x5 squares around him by 10%. His personal skill, Late Bloomer boosts his Attack and Wisdom stats whenever he defeats an enemy.
