Near the end of the events of Dragon Quest IV, [[Aamon]] has Rose murdered, causing Psaro to go insane. He loses what little inhibition Rose had given him and uses the [[Secret of Evolution]] to transform into a monster, destroying his mind in the process. The only thing he remembers is his desire to genocide humanity. | Near the end of the events of ''Dragon Quest IV'', [[Aamon]] has Rose murdered, causing Psaro to go insane.

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 | Psaro the Manslayer is fought at the very end of ''Dragon Quest IV''.
