"My cockles are pretty toasty, too. Wait, what are cockles again?"
—Carver, in Port Haven (DS, Cell phone)
Carver is a character in the Dragon Quest series that appears as a playable party member in Dragon Quest VI.
He is a travelling Martial Artist and the first to join the Hero on his quest. The two of them work together as a part of the Somnian military in the war against Murdaw before discovering the mystery of the Lower and Upper Worlds.
Appearance and personality[edit]
Carver is a mountain of a man, towering over most characters. He wears a grey open vest along with a turquoise-colored pair of shorts, and an orange sash lengthened by a piece of rope. Over his shorts, he wears a light-green mawashi, a type of loincloth similar to those worn by sumo wrestlers in real life. He also wears black shoes with a pair of light-green socks. He is noticeably more tan than the rest of the characters. Coupled with his purple mohawk, Carver's appearance is among the most distinct in the game.
Despite his intimidating build, Carver is a kind and friendly man, and starts a friendship with the Hero soon after they meet. Almost always jovial, Carver does his best to stay positive in darker moments, and tries to keep the mood light with a quick joke or a pun. A bit of a braggart, Carver thinks highly of himself and isn't afraid to accept any praises from villagers for the group's good deeds.

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies[edit]
On April 29, 2011, Carver began appearing as a special guest 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 different pieces of his outfit is certain conditions are fulfilled.
- Carver's vest - Received when talking to him.
- Carver's hair - Received when it is the player's birthday.
- Carver's shorts - Received after the inn is fully expanded.
- Carver's shoes - Received when the Hero is a Gladiator.
- Carver's bracers - Received after completing Quest #157.
The player will receive the special Accolade Punk-Haired Pugilist if the Hero wears all parts of Carver's costume. However, it is only possible for a male Hero to earn this Accolade because Carver's Vest and Shorts are marked as male only and not even the Wear-with-all award.
Dragon Quest Heroes II: Twin Kings and the Prophecy's End[edit]
Carver appears as one of the playable characters in the game. He uses Gauntlets as his weapon of choice and speaks with an Irish accent.
Dragon Quest Tact[edit]
Carver appears as a S-rank member of the Hero family as part of the Dragon Quest VI event. He joins the party in Chapter 1, Episode 4 of the event quests entitled Murdaw Arrives and he can be fully awakened by collecting Carver Crystals. During the event's original run, Carver Crystals could be obtained by completing various challenges, but became purchasable from the DQVI Medal Swap Shop when it was added to Reminiscence.

Trivia[edit]
- Carver's syntax is significantly different between IX, where he speaks with a Cockney accent similar to Yangus, and VI were he speaks with no discernible accent but peppers his sentences with nautical phrases and terms used in carpentry. This discrepancy can be attributed to the two games being localized by Plus-Alpha and 8-4 ltd, respectively.
- Carver bears a strong resemblance to the Southern Daikaioshin from Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball manga. Appropriately, said character is the physically strongest of his group.
- Carver was briefly considered for the role of protagonist for Dragon Quest Monsters 2, before it was decided to use original characters and separate the spinoff series from the world of Dragon Quest VI[1].
