I'm not an expert, nor do I play one on TV, but ....
ERC (Enhanced Remote Control) is an advanced CR2 technique that gives you better control over a figure.
For instance:
Partial body morphs: many morphs linked to one control dial and activated simultaneously
Joint-controlled morphs: morphs linked to joint movement
EasyPose: complex poses generated by a single control dial
In the case of the dragon, ERC is used in many places to make the wings, neck, and tail more easily posable (fold or flap the wings with just one dial!); to link the poseable jaw to the head for Mimic-compatibility; and other stuff I probably haven't noticed yet.
Robert Whisenant (rbtwhiz) is one of the pioneers of ERC; he has a tutorial on his website if you want to delve into the technical aspects of this ... uh ... technique.
