Trivia

• There is a second,unused portrait of Merach inShadow Dragon that is slightly different than his used portrait. The unused file is named "MULAC" while the used one is named "MULARK".
• Merach does not need to be defeated inShadow Dragon & the Blade of Light, as the square beside him is also a castle tile that Marth can seize. However, there is no alternate dialogue or change to the narrative should Merach live.
• Merach's portrait inMystery of the Emblem is shared withLykke.
