This article is about the monster. For the character, see Psaro (Character).

"Grraaargh! I must eradicate all of humankind!"

—Psaro the Manslayer, in Psaro's Peak (DS, cell phone)

Psaro the Manslayer
Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen
Japanese name デスピサロ
Romaji Desupisaro
Old localisation Necrosaro
Pizzaro
Death Pisaro
Race Artificially Augmented Demon

Psaro the Manslayer is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series that appears as the central antagonist in Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen. He is a powerful demon with a passionate hatred for humanity.

Characteristics

Psaro hates and is in turn reviled by humans, but revered by demons and the inhabitants of Rosehill. When Rose, his lover, was attacked by humans 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 humans relocated there. Psaro 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.

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. This leads to the final confrontation between he and the Hero in the Nadiria.

Abilities

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.

Trivia

  • There are two Psaros in the remake; the other one is a gender-confused naked man.
  • There is an writing error in the IX's Japanese version of the bestiary; it was written 秘密 (Himitsu) when it should have been 秘法 (Hibou, meaning secret act literary), although it is the same meaning.
