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.

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.
In the Japanese version, the Prince is described as a slacker, a drinker, and an overall really fun guy; however, in the American version the Prince of Cannock is reffered a studious young man immersed in his studies. This is presumably due to the heavy censorship Nintendo of America enforced during the late 80's and early 90's.

In the GBC remake he was give the ability to equip better weapons on top of some weapons having been given a power boost. His attack spells were adjusted to such that Firebane does considerably more damage, though Firebal has a lower max. damage than it used to. Defeat seems to work more consistently on enemies, with some stronger enemies possibly being now immune however. He still suffers in terms of defense and survivability still having weakest resistances to magic and breath attacks.

He still suffers in terms of defense and survivability as much of his armor lacks resistance to magic and breath attacks.  


Overall he is an attempt at a balanced character, his spells for dealing damage and healing HP aren't as powerful as the Princess or Moonbrooke's and his strength and weapon options aren't as good as the Prince of Midenhall's. However he gets, very helpful spells such as Stopspell and Stepguard. His spells are more MP efficient for what they do especially in the GBC remake with the power boosts.
Overall he is a middle-of-the-road character, with his spells for dealing damage and healing HP aren't as powerful as the Princess of Moonbrooke's, and his strength and weapon options aren't as good as the Prince of Midenhall's. However, he does have very helpful spells such as Fizzle and Safe Passage, and Thwack has the potential to turn the tide in even the grimmest battle.

Prince of Cannock
Dragon Quest II
Sprite(s)
Japanese name サマルトリアの王子
Romaji Samarutoria no ouji
Title Prince
Vocation Armamentalist
Race Human
Age 16
Family Erdrick/Cannock

The Prince of Cannock (サマルトリア王子 Prince of Sumaltria) is a playable character in Dragon Quest 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. He also has a sister who's the Princess of Cannock.

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.

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.

In the Japanese version, the Prince is described as a slacker, a drinker, and an overall really fun guy; however, in the American version the Prince of Cannock is reffered a studious young man immersed in his studies. This is presumably due to the heavy censorship Nintendo of America enforced during the late 80's and early 90's.
