Elric (エリック Erik) is a character who can become the player's Paleo Pal.

Profile
An enigmatic boy whose true origin is a mystery.

History
Elric is first met when the Player leaves HQ to compete in the Parsec Cup and somehow knows of their mission. He warns the Player that if their investigation hits a wall they should check out "that man's cell" and leaves. Elric's words eventually help the Wardens discover Dr. Blakraven's plans to time travel.

During the Player's mission to investigate a space-time warble they and Leon battle the BR Brigade and manage to defeat the first wave but when reinforcements come in Elric suddenly appears and distracts the Brigade so the Player can continue and Elric tells them that they must protect the space-time continuum.

Before the Player leaves to find a crystal ball for Violet to use to find the Neo Black Whale, Elric approaches them and reveals he has decided to "break the rule" to help the player and becomes a Paleo Pal

After the credits roll, Elric is shown overlooking HQ and notes he chose the right person to save the world and that he'll stay in the era a little longer because the Player is there.

In the post game, Elric can be found hiding behind a cutout outside HQ. When spoken too, Elric asks the Player to travel to a "familiar dig site" and when the Player accepts he takes them the Ancient World. Elric promises to explain everything after they complete their mission. Elric reveals that the wreckage from Dr. Blackraven's brainwashing machine is still in the past and could cause problems to the space-time continuum if left alone. When they find the machine a group of dinosaurs is hanging around it and they are forced to battle it to chase it away. Elric removes the machine wreckage and takes the player back to the present. There Elric reveals he is a space-time engineer, agents who work to maintain stability in the space-time continuum, but they are forbidden to directly intervene and must use intermediaries to complete their missions. Elric thanks the Player and becomes a Super Paleo Pal and allows the Player to revisit the Ancient World any time they like.
