{{Character
|Name=Psaro the Manslayer
|Image=[[File:Psaro_normal.jpg]]
|Game=Dragon Quest IV
|Race=Demon
|}}
'''''Psaro the Manslayer''''' ('''Necrosaro''', '''Pizzaro''') is the central villain of ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]'' and a recurring monster in the [[Dragon Quest (series)|series]]. He is a powerful demon with a passionate hatred for humanity

==Story==
===As an Enemy===
Psaro hates and is in turn reviled by [[human]]s, but revered by [[demon]]s 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 told her of his plans to destroy humanity to free the world for demons, and continued on with righteousness in spite of her pleas to stop and try for coexistence.

Towards the end of the game, [[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 personality as an unavoidable side-effect. The only thing he remembers is his desire to destroy humanity. However, before he can unleash his worst, the [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|Hero]] confronts and defeats him, saving the world.

==Abilities==
Necrosaro is fought at the very end of the original game. He is notably one of the very first, if not ''the'' first, transforming final bosses in video game history, setting a longstanding trend. This battle is a test of endurance more than anything, as Necrosaro'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.

==Appearances==
===''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''===
The game's main antagonist and, in the remakes, possible party member in the bonus content.

===''[[Dragon Quest Monsters]]''===
Boss of the Gate of Extinction, Psaro (then Pizzaro) is confronted by Terry shortly after voicing his desire to eliminate all humans.

===''[[Dragon Quest Monsters 2]]''===

===''[[Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker]]''===
Psaro appears in his final form as a rank X member of the material family and can be obtained by synthesizing a [[Ruin]] and [[Roseguardin]] together. His Manslayer title is reflected in his default nicknames, all of which contain 'slay'.

===''[[Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2]]''===
===''[[Dragon Quest IX]]''===
Psaro appears as a Legacy Boss. He has no current memory of himself, and he challenges the [[Hero (Dragon Quest IX)|Hero]].

Dragon Quest IX guide description: A tragic figure who forsook his normal form to wreak revenge on the mortals who murdered his beloved.

Nimzo

2010-08-23T16:49:15Z

108.28.52.50: /* Dragon Quest IX */

'''Nimzo''' ('''Mirudraas''' in old translations; '''Mildrath''' in fan translations) is the source of conflict and final boss of [[Dragon Quest V]]. As is the case with most of the series' villains, Nimzo is mostly referred to and not actually encountered until the end of the game, though his pawns and powerful influence do well to wreak havoc in his place.

==Characteristics==
Nimzo initially appears to be an elderly, green-skinned demon, though this is merely a ruse to hide his true, grotesque form: a bloated, red demon with massive, wrinkled wings, four arms, and a spike-ended tail. He is capable of performing devastating spells and breath attacks in either form and can also call upon Wrecktors and Killing Machines to assist him while in his initial form.

Nimzo's speech in the English DS remake is composed of altered characters such as backwards 'N's, '3's in place of 'e's, and 'o's with lines going through them. The overall effect makes Nimzo sound incredibly distinct and alien when compared to other characters and even the narration, hinting towards his position as an ancient and powerful entity.

==Name==
The title Nimzo goes by, Grandmaster Nimzo, is a stark contrast to the original interpretations of his name. The name was likely derived from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aron_Nimzowitsch Aron '''Nimzo'''witsch], a renowned chess writer and (unofficial) grandmaster by chess standards. The majority of Nimzo's underlings are named after chess pieces, and Nimzo himself refers to his overall plan as a game with his underlings being the pawns, so the name was likely given to tie in with these characteristics.

With this in mind, it is highly likely that the localization team had already planned out the majority of what they intended to do with Dragon Quest V, since Nimzo appears with his current name in Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker, a game that preceded the release of the DS remake of Dragon Quest V.

==Appearances==
Outside his role in Dragon Quest V, Nimzo has also appeared in...

===[[Dragon Quest Monsters]]===
First official appearance in the states. Called Mirudraas at the time.

===[[Dragon Quest Monsters 2]]===

===[[Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker]]===
Appears as an S-rank member of the Beast family and has his current name; he appears as his monstrous, true form. One combination for obtaining one is by synthesizing a Drakulard with a Malroth.

===[[Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2]]===

===[[Dragon Quest IX]]===
Nimzo appears as a Legacy Boss.

Game description: Likes to kick in with Kaboom after taking the edge off his enemies by casting Bounce and Kasap.

Guide description: Some thought he could only command from afar, but he has more than enough mental and physical ability to rule the world.

Zenus

2010-08-23T16:35:34Z

108.28.52.50: /* Trivia */

'''Zenus''' is the Almighty One, the ultimate ruler of the in-game universe of [[Dragon Quest IX]], father of [[Celestria]], and the dweller of [[Realm of the Almighty]].

==Trivia==
* The name '''Zenus''' is a play on the name of the king of gods in Greek Mythology, Zeus.
* According to the grotto boss Fowleye, the bosses of the grottos (except for Tyrannasaurus Wrecks and Greygnarl) are parts of Zenus, who was fragmented into ten beings when Corvus attacked the Realm of the Almighty. Despite the apparent unreliability of the source, there are several hints within the bestiary (and the pre-fight chatter from the bosses) which imply that Fowleye's claims are true.

'''Murdaw''' (ムドー romanized as ''Mudou'', '''Mudo''' in fan translations) appears as the primary antagonist in Dragon Quest VI. He terrorizes the world, and any who challenge him never return. As soon as the game begins, the player character, Carver and Milly go to fight Murdaw. Upon reaching him, he banishes all of them to the Dream World.

Murdaw is one of the Maou Clan, and is the first of the clan you will fight. He is the seal on the Dharma Shrine and defeating him allows you access. Murdaw is fought three times.

He appears as a Legacy Boss in [[Dragon Quest IX]].

Elusid

2010-08-23T16:21:23Z

108.28.52.50:

[[File:Placeholder|right|300px]]
Elusid is a boss that appears in grottoes in Dragon Quest IX. He is a member if the Dragon family, and frequently raises his tension and casts spells. His arsenal of spells includes Kafrizz, Kacrack, and Kaboom. Due to his heavy spell usage, using the Magic Mirror shield skill or casting Bounce can protect you party while dealing extra damage to Elusid. Recommended armor is Mirror Armor and the evolved form, Catoptric Armor, due to their sporadic spell reflection capabilities. Elusid can drop both a Star's suit and Supernatural specs and has a 2% chance of dropping the ultra-rare Sensible Sandals. He resists most elements, but earth-based attacks (e.g Funereal Fource) deal 125% of their normal damage against him.

Game description: Mere mention of this paragon of perniciousness is enough to send even practised pugilists into paroxysms of panic.

Guide description: This myth-enshrouded monster is the main focus of many a mad theory, but only the Almighty knows the truth of its origins...

Baramos

2010-08-23T16:13:41Z

108.28.52.50: /* Dragon Quest IX */

The '''Archfiend Baramos''' is one of the main villains of ''[[Dragon Quest III]]'' and a recurring monster in the [[Dragon Quest (series)|series]]. He seeks to rule the world and engulf it in darkness.

Upon his defeat, the player learns that he was actually just a follower of the evil [[Zoma]], and not the true final boss.

==Appearances==
Outside his main role in ''Dragon Quest III'', Baramos also makes appearances in these titles.

===''[[Dragon Quest IX]]''===
Baramos appears as a Legacy Boss. He is the weakest of the Legacy bosses, but he is still very powerful and capable of casting Kafrizz and Kaboom and can also use fire breath and regular attacks (which are prone to inflicting critical hits).. He gains access to [[Disruptive Wave]] at level 8, Hellfire Breath at level 16, and Kafrizzle at level 32. Ice attacks are his weakness, but he resists wind attacks.

Dragon Quest IX game description: Windproof king and wizard who wastes no time in whipping out Kaboom, Kafrizz, and all kinds of calamity-inducing conjury.

Dragon Quest IX guide description: Takes great pleasure in obliterating people while they're busy poking fun at his bizarre appearance.
