## Personality

Eric is a calm and patient person, showing that he cares for his friends, and always keeping the group together. He is a "good soul" who always keeps the peace and harmony of The Animals, although he is always good-natured and very kind, sometimes Eric can lose his temper, in one of these moments is when Dark Eric or the Dark Animals insult him , or insult his friends, Eric will prove a beast to defend his friends.

As a singer, Eric is proud, because he loves to sing and please his fans with his songs, but he doesn't do it for vanity or popularity, he just likes to do it, he likes to sing because it's what makes him feel good, along with his friendship with the Dark Animals.

The first time Eric saw his evil version, Dark Eric, he was surprised, but after the latter began to make his life hell, Eric is prepared to face his evil version and defend his friends from possible bullying by Dark Eric and his henchmen.

His relationships with his friends are friendly and strong, however in recent episodes, he tries to calm Alan down for his jealousy by saying that Eric could "steal" his compositions, when Eric and the Animals discover that this is a lie by the Dark Animals to irritate Alan and destroy Alan's friendship with Eric, but in the end even having to deal with Alan's difficult temper, Eric still helps him and wants better for his friend and doesn't like to see Alan against him, even sometimes, Eric also argues with Alan, but that his fight with Alan is often blamed or occasioned by the Dark Animals who intend to break this strong friendship between Price and Burdon.

Eric may also hold a grudge and resentment if he is accused of something unfairly, as Alan's nervous temper returned in the tenth season.
