-*[[Monster synthesis]] has been greatly simplified, abolishing the rank combinations, monster polarity, and "+" values seen in earlier titles. Instead of the "+" value directly boosting a freshly created monster's stats, the 6 monsters that make up that beast's lineage, 2 parents and 4 grandparents, influence how quickly a particular stat will grow before reach it's preset total. This is based on the families of the component monsters, with the [[slime family]] affecting HP, agility, and wisdom, the [[dragon family]] for HP, MP, and attack, the [[nature family]] for defence, agility, and wisdom, the [[beast family]] for MP, defence, and agility, the [[material family]] for attack, defence, and wisdom, the [[demon family]] for MP attack, and defence, the [[undead family]] for HP, MP, and agility, and finally the [[??? family]] affects HP, attack, and wisdom. As such, if 4 of the 6 monsters that make up a newly synthesized monster's lineage belong to different families then the creation will enjoy accelerated growth in all stats before hitting the species' natural cap. If the levels of both parents are at 100 then the boosts detailed above will be as high as 20%.

 *Monster combinations are now centered around the appearances of the components and any shared themes or games of origin they may have, allowing players to make more educated guesses as to what combinations will result in. As a result, several tried and true combinations no longer yield the same results as in past games and experimentation is greatly encouraged.

 *[[Sparkling monsters]] have been added to the game. These glimmering creatures have a 5% chance of appearing when a synthesis is performed and are noted by a special mark that appears on their icon, and enjoy having the upper limit of one of their stats raised by 100 points. Which stat is affected is chosen at random and cannot be influenced by the player.
 *[[Frenzied state]]s have been introduced, based on the [[pep]] system of {{DQ11}}. These super-charged states have a random chance to activate each turn, which skyrockets when a fellow party member is in critical health. Becoming frenzied allows a monster to go further beyond their limits bay gaining an extra action per turn, all types of damage being powered up by 150%, and all damage received being cut in half. The effect lasts only a few turns and can be utilized by enemy monsters and bosses, but the resulting power surge is more than enough to turn the tide for the players on the back-heel.

	Careful consideration was given to the story and tone of ''The Dark Prince'' as it was decided to have the side-story tie directly into the events of ''Dragon Quest IV'', an unprecedented move within the series as the story of ''Terry's Wonderland'' took place several years prior to the events of ''Dragon Quest VI'' and featured no connecting characters aside from the young siblings.

	Monster synthesis was also given a considerable amount of attention by Yokota and Horii, who viewed the system as the defining feature of the ''Monsters'' series <ref>横田:今回の開発にあたり、堀井さんとお話する中でやっぱり「DQM」シリーズで一番大事なのは配合だとおっしゃっていて。その配合がおもしろくなきゃダメだ、という気持ちを強く持って開発に挑みました。''ドラゴンクエストモンスターズ3 魔族の王子とエルフの旅 WORLD＆MONSTER DATABASE'' interview, ISBN：978-4-08-779813-5 </ref>. To this end it was decided it was time to shake up the traditional combinations for new mixtures. Ditching the tried and true formulas fosters a sense of discovery in players by finding new ways to create their favorite monsters, many of which are fun references to that beast's debut title; for example, [[Hargon]] is created by combining [[Atlas]], [[Belial]], [[Pazuzu]], and the [[Wrecktor]] instead of a [[Wight king (Dragon Quest V)\|wight king]] and [[metal king slime]].

Yokota was nervous to use this approach at first due to black never being used as one of the colours of the logo in any ''Dragon Quest'' title before, but Horii noted that the design left a strong impression which reflects the more serious nature of Psaro's story, as well as Rose's importance to him as his lover, and the concept art was quickly finalized.
