'''Psaro''' is a character in the {{DQSeries}} that appears as the central villain of {{DQ4}}, and a recurring monster. He is a powerful demon with a passionate hatred for humanity. During his rise to evil, Psaro attempted to kill the [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|Hero]], sought the Secret of Evolution, and searched for the resting place of [[Estark]], Ruler of Evil. Enraged by the death of his beloved, Psaro became [[Psaro the Manslayer]].

Psaro's humanoid form has gone on to make regular appearances in spinoff games, starting with the second ''[[Dragon Quest: Monster Battle Road]]'' game. He is a secret character in ''[[Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below]]'', can join the player in ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3|Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 Professional]]'' and ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters: Super Light]]'', and was one of the original leader characters in ''[[Dragon Quest Rivals]]'', representing the [[Demon Swordsman]] vocation.

==Appearance and Personality==
Psaro at first appears fairly humanoid, though his red eyes, pointed ears, and vast powers would soon reveal him for what he really is. He has long silver hair, pale skin and wears a dark, baroque-styled outfit with a single distinct shoulder pad, spiked and appearing to be made of bone, and a long fur cape. He also has a single, long strand of hair sticking up out of the top of his head, known as an [https://www.japanesewithanime.com/2017/05/ahoge.html ahoge]. Upon using the Secret of Evolution he turns into a likeness of [[Estark]] and steadily morphs into a vicious, horned demon with a second face on his torso as the player fights against him.

Psaro loathes humans, his Manslayer title likely derived from his stance on human presence. Despite this intense hatred, Psaro is remarkably kind to other beings, notably monsters and especially the elf [[Rose]]. His romantic attachment to Rose is so strong that it drives him insane when he learns of her murder and can be freed from the Secret of Evolution's maddening power if she is revived and brought before him.

In the Japanese and [[cell phone]] remakes, Psaro has a personality which is known to be [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsundere tsundere] if [[Party Chat|party chat]] is used while he is in the party. He usually does not appear to be interested in speaking to his new comrades, usually expressing annoyance if attempting to do so. Nevertheless, Psaro will express both remorse and gratitude when due, such as when visiting the Hero's [[Hidden Valley|hometown]] and [[Rosehill]].

{{spoiler|start}}
[[File:PsaroPSXArt.png|right|thumb|200px|PlayStation artwork]]
Psaro is mentioned in every chapter, and his actions drive the game's plot.

In the first chapter, Psaro sends his minions to kidnap the children of [[Strathbaile]] in search of the child that is prophesied to stand against him one day. [[Ragnar McRyan]] fights the leader of the kidnappers, [[Psaro's Pawn]] as a final boss to this chapter. Unbeknownst to Psaro at the time, he had the wrong location and thus the plan never had a chance of succeeding.

In the second chapter, Psaro is the top contender in the [[Tournament of Endor]]. He gains infamy throughout the kingdom by being known to fight his battles to the death rather than for sport. Additionally, his motive for participating in the tournament is in hopes of finding the Hero. During this time, Psaro is made aware of the Tsar of Zamoksva having had a vision of the [[Estark|Lord of the Underworld]] unleashing havoc onto the world. To silence him, Psaro has a curse cast onto the Tsar, taking away his voice. However, the Tsar's voice is returned to him by his daughter who lifts the curse with [[Birdsong nectar]]. Due to this, the Tsar is able to deliver his vision to at least his daughter and her comrades. Later, Psaro is supposed to be Alena's last opponent in the tournament, but fails to show up. This disqualifies him and makes Alena the victor. It is highly implied that during this time, Psaro took off to Zamoksva to silence the Tsar once and for all, which ended up causing the entire kingdom's citizens to disappear.

In the third chapter when [[Torneko Taloon]] arrives in Endor, the tournament and Psaro are mentioned by several townspeople in hushed breath, and in the fourth, after the sisters [[Meena Mahabala|Meena]] and [[Maya Mahabala]] defeat [[Balzack]], [[Marquis de Léon]] appears stating that Psaro will not be happy about it, and then easily defeats the sisters.

The fifth chapter starts with Psaro leading a group of monsters into the Hero's [[Hidden Valley|Hometown]] and killing everyone except the Hero. After this he desires to resurrect [[Estark]]. When [[Estark's Crypt]] is discovered by the miners in [[Mamon Mine]], Psaro leads a group of monsters from the [[Diabolic Hall]] to the mine. He is successful in resurrecting the ruler of evil, but the Hero and his party are able to defeat Estark. Next, scenes of Psaro are seen in a dream sequence if the player stays in [[Strathbaile|Strathbaile's]] inn.

After using the secret of evolution upon himself, Psaro takes up residence in [[Nadiria]] and becomes the final boss [[Psaro the Manslayer]]. Psaro the Manslayer is only the boss of chapter 5, as a sixth chapter was added to the remakes where [[Aamon]] is the final boss.

In the remake-exclusive sixth chapter, the players hear word of a legendary bloom of the world tree that can fully revive the dead. Setting out to find the bloom, the Chosen use it to revive Rose. Aware that she was murdered at the order of Aamon, she insists that she accompany the group to Nadiria to stop her lover. When she confronts the hideous form Psaro has become, the Secret of Evolution is undone by her tears and Psaro is returned to sanity. After being informed of Aamon's conspiracy, he joins the Chosen as a playable character.

====Abilities====
Psaro's initial state is quite powerful; he starts at level 35 and all his stats are high, not to mention he can learn powerful spells such as [[Lightning Storm]] and [[Magic Burst]] (most of which originally premiered in later ''Dragon Quest'' installments.) If the player chooses to pursue the bonus content and make Psaro an ally they will quickly find that he is more than a jack-of-all-trades, being adept at healing, support, and especially offensive abilities. If the time is taken to level him up he will swiftly become the most powerful ally in the game. He can furthermore equip cursed equipment without penalty and without having his stats zeroed.

====Other remake changes====
*Originally the Hero's hometown was discovered when the [[inn]]keeper allowed a traveling poet, room and shelter with his actions being noticed by some monsters.  The remakes replace him with Psaro who was posing as a traveler to find the Hero's home.
*A Psaro impersonator can be found in remakes of ''Dragon Quest IV''.
*Psaro's appearance is strikingly-similar to that of [https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_VII ''Final Fantasy VII'']'s [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Sephiroth Sephiroth]. The two bear some similarities beyond design, as well, as they both have tragic stories and take on monstrous forms to do battle with their respective heroic adversaries. These similarities are frequent subjects of jokes among Japanese fans, such as suggesting that Psaro and Sephiroth are actually secret twins, or sometimes calling one of them "Psaroth".

==={{DQ6}}===
Psaro appears alongside Rose in the near-future version of [[Reaper's Peak]]. He is confrontational when spoken to, accusing the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VI)|Hero]] of wanting to kidnap Rose for her tears before backing off and telling him to leave them in peace.

[[Image:Saromb.png|210px|right|thumb|Psaro's appearance in ''Monster Battle Road II Legend''.]]
===In ''Monster Battle Road II Legend''===
Psaro appears as a playable character, as well as the boss for Legend Quest IV in Chapter 7: The demon Lord.
===In ''Monster Battle Road Victory''===
After the hero of ''Monster Battle Road Victory'' wins over his/her rival Ryuuta, Psaro escapes from the game world to the real world to challenge the hero. After clearing the game, he will be at the harbor waiting for the hero to challenge him again.
==={{DQH}}===
Psaro is a secret playable character in the game. In the original Japanese version, he is part of the downloadable content but he is included by default in international versions of the game. In order for Psaro to join your party, he must be beaten in battle in the quest "A Monstrous Apparition", which can be undertaken after defeating the [[Barbatos]] at Yggdrasil. Before that, Psaro will appear as a "Mysterious Swordsman" who randomly appears in a few levels before disappearing. His reasons for joining the heroes are personal, as he wants to take revenge on [[Velasco]] for taking advantage of his monstrous brethren and end the curse placed on them.

Psaro wields [[greatsword (weapon type)|greatswords]] in combat and uses a combination of [[Zam]] magic and martial arts. For his [[Coup de Grâce]], Psaro uses the Secret of Evolution to transform into his demonic form and blasts enemies. Due to his status as a secret character, Psaro will not appear in cutscenes and he has no impact on the main storyline. In the second game, Psaro can only be played in multiplayer modes.

==={{DQTact}}===
Psaro's humanoid form known as just Psaro appears as a S-rank member of the [[??? family]] as part of the game's 1.5 anniversary event in Japan and for the 2022 Dragon Quest Day for Global versions on his own banner alongside [[Roseguardin|Sir Roseguardin]]. A special promotional campaign for Japanese players included a contest held between January 16th, 2022 to January 22nd, 2022 to win "Demon Swordsman Psaro SP Scout" vouchers, as well as a TV commercial starring actor [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2320666/ Yū Shirota] as the character.

==Trivia==
*As revealed in an event in Dragon Quest of the Stars, Psaro's last name is "Banesword".
*Psaro's outfit is inspired by clothes worn by baroque princes—hence the puffed sleeves and pants—which may indicate that he is of high birth. Psaro's bestiary entry in the Japanese version of {{DQ9}} describes him as a prince, corroborating this interpretation.
*In ''Monster Battle Road Victory'', his first-person pronoun in Japanese is changed from "私" (''watashi'', a polite first-person pronoun) to "俺" (''ore'', a common first-person pronoun that comes across as decidedly-masculine and rather brusque). Many fans disliked this change.
*In ''Monster Battle Road'' manga and ''Victory'', there is a genderbent version of Psaro named Queen Psaro (クイーンピサロ）.  Unlike Psaro, who is ruthless and cold, she has a personality similar to [[Debora]].  If beaten, a [[Puff-Puff|puff-puff]] can be gotten from her.
**Apparently, it is unknown if she has any relation to Psaro in any way.
*Prior to the remakes of ''Dragon Quest IV'' making Psaro's appearance uniform, many artists portrayed him in a variety of different ways.
**For various pieces of artwork for the official CD Theater, illustrator Mutsumi Inomata depicted Psaro as very beautiful with large elven ears and either long light purple hair or blond hair.
**In some of the 4Koma comics, Psaro is drawn very similar to a human, but with pointed ears and sharp canine fangs. He has frizzy black hair and wears a military-styled uniform with a cape.
*Although Psaro himself does not appear in {{DQ10}}, the design of the [[Demon Swordsman]] vocation was based on him, with players able to wield two-handed swords, cast [[Zam]] spells, and use special skills such as [[Disruptive Wave]]. Players could also obtain a special outfit that allows them to dress like Psaro.
