Eric is one of the protagonists of the Dungeons & Dragons animated series.
Overview[]
Eric is the group's 15-year-old complainer, and given the Cavalier class by the Dungeon Master. His weapon is a magic shield, which is indestructible and can create a protective forcefield large enough to shield the wielder and various allies. His greatest fear is being laughed at and mocked, especially for his appearance.
Personality[]
The cavalier is the spoiled child, originating from a rich home. On the surface, Eric is the big-mouthed coward of the show, and he also fulfills the role of the comic relief character. Despite his egotism, selfishness, and snobbery, Eric is potentially also the most realistic character: complaining about the dire situations in which he is involved and voicing concerns which might be common to inhabitants of our world transplanted to the Realm. Despite his cowardice and reluctance, Eric has a well-hidden heroic core, and constantly saves his friends from danger with his magical shield, which can project a force field. In one episode, he is even granted the powers of the Dungeon Master, and manages this duty quite successfully. Series developer Mark Evanier revealed that Eric's contrary nature was mandated by parents groups and consultants to push the then-dominant pro-social moral for cartoons of "The group is always right; the complainer is always wrong."
