Trivia
- There is a second, unused portrait of Merach in Shadow 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 in Shadow 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 in Mystery of the Emblem is shared with Lykke.
