'''''Psaro the Manslayer''''' ('''Necrosaro''', '''Pizzaro''') is the central antangonist in ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]'' and a recurring monster in the [[Dragon Quest (series)|series]]. He is a powerful demon with a passionate hatred for humanity.


==Characteristics==
==Story==
{{Psaro C}} hates and is in turn reviled by [[human]]s, but revered by the monsters of [[Diabolic Hall]] and the inhabitants of [[Rosehill]]. When [[Rose]], his lover, was attacked by [[human]]s for the ruby tears she sheds as an elf, he protected her by concealing her in a small fortress he built far away from [[human]] settlements. The town of [[Rosehill]] grew up around it as others looking for shelter from [[human]]s relocated there. {{Psaro C}} paid frequent visits to [[Rosehill]] in order to see [[Rose]]. He shares with her his plans to destroy humanity, while disregarding her pleas to stop and pursue peaceful co-existence.

He shares with her his plans to destroy humanity, while disregarding her pleas to stop and pursue peaceful co-existence.


Near the end of the events of {{IV}}, [[Aamon]] orchestrates the murder of [[Rose]] via a group of [[human]] bandits, causing Psaro to go insane with grief. He loses what little inhibition [[Rose]] had given him and uses the [[Secret of Evolution]] to transform into an almighty engine of destruction similar to [[Estark]], destroying his mind in the process. The only thing he remembers is his desire to genocide [[human]]ity. This leads to the final confrontation between he and the {{Hero 4}} in the heart of [[Nadiria]].

Psaro the Manslayer is fought at the very end of Dragon Quest IV. He is notably the first transforming final boss in the Dragon Quest series, and the electronic medium as a whole. The battle is a test of endurance more than anything, as Psaro's only tricks are ones used by other bosses earlier on, so the player should already be familiar with the methods of dealing with them. He has seven different forms, effectively undergoing an elaborate metamorphosis:

The transformed Psaro appears in a grim vision showing the player what would happen if the prince were to fall for [[Aamon]]'s plot as in {{IV}}, wherein he becomes a mindless beast that eradicates the circles of [[Nadiria]] and slaughtering the friends made along the game's journey. This vision concludes with Psaro facing the Chosen as the [[Zenith Dragon]] laments his fate.
Psaro is an excellent two-slot Rank X monster. He can be synthesized by combining a [[Roseguardin|roseguardin]] with [[Ruin]].


Thankfully, the [[Sands of time|sands of time]] are used by the sticky-fingered [[Toilen Trubble]] to gives Psaro and [[Rose]] a second chance, who instantly see through [[Aamon]]'s deceit and take the battle to the [[Aamon|evil priest]] in his lair in the [[Circle of Caprice]]. The grotesque Psaro makes no further appearances in the game now that disaster is averted, but can be synthesised like the other Archfiends at any time.
