The Secret of Evolution was originally discovered by [[Estark]], Lord of the Underworld, a thousand years before the game begins. Estark used the Secret of Evolution to transform his body and become the ultimate life-form, and in so doing becomes the most powerful being on the planet. However, although despite his power, the [[Zenith Dragon]] was able to seal him within a tomb deep beneath [[Mamon]].

However, although despite his power, the [[Zenith Dragon]] was able to seal him within a tomb deep beneath [[Mamon]].


After this, the secret was lost until it was rediscovered by the alchemist [[Mahabala]], father of [[Maya]] and [[Meena]]. Unfortunately, his apprentice [[Balzack]] murdered him and stole his research, using the imperfect version to empower himself and [[Marquis de Léon]]. He passed the secret onto their master, [[Psaro]], the Master of Monsters. Psaro had held off on using it himself for fear of losing his sanity; however, this changed when [[Aamon]] had his lover [[Rose]] murdered by humans, causing him to fly into a rage and utilize the Secret, taking on a form very similar to that of the transformed Estark.

{{spoiler|start}}
Unbeknownst to either Psaro or the [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|Chosen Hero]], Aamon had expected them to kill each other in [[Nadiria]] while he perfected the Secret of Evolution and assumed dominion over all monsterkind. This plan was subverted when the Chosen were able to resurrect Rose using [[Yggdrasil flowers]] and restore Psaro from his madness. The Hero, Psaro, and party confronted Aamon in his ultimate form and and destroyed him, eliminating the Secret of Evolution with him.

The secret of evolution is mentioned by a scholar in [[Coburg|Coburg Castle]] who claims he is studying psarology, the name of the science being derived from the legend of [[Psaro]].

It seems some demons in the [[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest series]] such as [[Mortamor]] and [[Orgodemir]] can naturally transform without need of the Secret of Evolution. In {{DQ10}}, the transformation of [[Nelgel]] was a result of him being exposed to the true darkness at the top of the [[Heart of Hell]] via [[Jagonuba]]'s Dark Hands.
