[[File:PsaroPSXArt.png|right|thumb|200px|PlayStation artwork]]
Psaro is mentioned in every chapter, and his actions drive the game's plot.

In the {{DQ4 Chapter 1}}, Psaro sends his minions to kidnap the children of [[Strathbaile]] in search of the child that is prophesied to stand against him one day. [[Ragnar McRyan]] fights the leader of the kidnappers, [[Psaro's Pawn]] as a final boss to this chapter. Unbeknownst to Psaro at the time, he had the wrong location and thus the plan never had a chance of succeeding.

In the second chapter, Psaro is the top contender in the [[Tournament of Endor]]. He gains infamy throughout the kingdom by being known to fight his battles to the death rather than for sport. Additionally, his motive for participating in the tournament is in hopes of finding the {{Hero 4}}. During this time, Psaro is made aware that the [[Tsar Stepan|Tsar of Zamoksva]] had a vision of the [[Estark|Lord of the Underworld]] unleashing havoc onto the world. To silence him, Psaro cast a vicious curse on the Tsar, taking away his voice. However, the Tsar's voice is returned to him by his [[Alena|daughter]] who lifts the curse with [[Birdsong nectar]]. Due to this, the Tsar is able to deliver his vision to at least his [[Alena||daughter]] and her comrades. Later, Psaro is supposed to be [[Alena]]'s last opponent in the tournament, but fails to show up. This disqualifies him and makes [[Alena]] the victor. It is highly implied that during this time, Psaro took off to [[Zamoksva]] to silence the Tsar once and for all, which ended up causing the entire kingdom's citizens to disappear.

In the {{DQ4 Chapter 3}}, when [[Torneko Taloon]] arrives in Endor, the tournament and Psaro are mentioned by several townspeople in hushed breath, and {{DQ4 Chapter 4}}, after the sisters {{Meena}} and [[Maya Mahabala]] defeat [[Balzack]], [[Marquis de Léon]] appears, stating that Psaro will not be happy about it, and then easily defeats the sisters.

{{DQ4 Chapter 5}} starts with Psaro leading a group of {{MFamilies}}s into the {{Hero 4}}'s [[Hidden Valley|Hometown]] and murdering everyone except the {{Hero 4}}. After this he desires to resurrect [[Estark]], and focuses on that for a time. When [[Estark's Crypt|Estark’s Temple]] is discovered by the miners in [[Mamon Mine]], Psaro leads a group of {{MFamilies}}s from the [[Diabolic Hall]] to the mine. He is successful in resurrecting the ruler of evil, but the {{Hero 4}} and his {{Party 4}} are able to defeat [[Estark]]. Next, scenes of Psaro are seen in a dream sequence if the player stays in [[Strathbaile]]'s [[inn]].

After using the secret of evolution upon himself, Psaro takes up residence in [[Nadiria]] and becomes the [[Psaro the Manslayer|final opponent]] that the {{Hero 4}} and {{Party 4}} must face. [[Psaro the Manslayer]] is only the boss of {{DQ4 Chapter 5}}, as in {{DQ4 Chapter 6}} that was added in the remakes where [[Aamon]] is the final boss.

In the remake-exclusive sixth chapter, the players hear word of a legendary bloom of the world tree that can fully revive the dead. Setting out to find the bloom, the [[Chosen Ones]] use it to revive [[Rose]]. Aware that she was murdered at the order of [[Aamon]], she insists that she accompany the group to [[Nadiria]] to stop her lover. When she confronts the hideous form {{Psaro B}} has become, the [[Secret of Evolution]] is undone by her tears and Psaro is returned to sanity. After being informed of [[Aamon]]'s conspiracy, he joins the [[Chosen Ones]] as a playable character.

====Abilities====
Psaro's initial state is quite powerful; he starts at level 35 and all his stats are high, not to mention he can learn powerful spells such as [[Lightning Storm]] and [[Magic Burst]] (most of which originally premiered in later {{Main Series}} installments.) If the player chooses to pursue the bonus content and make Psaro an ally they will quickly find that he is more than a jack-of-all-trades, being adept at healing, support, and especially offensive abilities. If the time is taken to level him up he will swiftly become the most powerful ally in the game, vastly outshining the {{Hero 4}}. He can furthermore equip [[Cursed Equipment]] without penalty and without having his stats lowered. Also, as if all the above wasn’t enough, his ultimate equipment is far better than both the [[Legendary Equipment|Zenithian]] and [[Liquid metal armour|Liquid Metal]] set.

====Other remake changes====
*Originally the {{Hero 4}}'s [[Hidden Valley|hometown]] was discovered when the [[inn]]keeper allowed a traveling poet room and shelter, with his actions being noticed by some monsters.  The remakes replace him with Psaro, who was posing as a traveler to find the {{Hero 4}}'s home.
*A Psaro impersonator can be found in remakes of {{Dragon Quest IV}}.

==={{DQ6}}===
Psaro appears alongside Rose in the near-future version of [[Reaper's Peak]]. He is confrontational when spoken to, accusing the {{Hero 6}} of wanting to kidnap [[Rose]] for her tears before backing off and telling him to leave them in peace.

==={{DQM3}}===
Psaro is the lead character of the seventh ''Monsters'' game, taking place prior to the events of ''Dragon Quest IV'' during his adolescence. The game concerns the conflict between Psaro and his father, Randolfo, who has cursed his son to never be able to harm monsters directly, and his journey with Rose, the mysterious [[Fizzy]], and human researcher [[Toilen Trubble]] throughout the circles of Nadiria as well as Terrestria.

===''[[Dragon Quest: Monster Battle Road II Legend]]''===
[[Image:Saromb.png|210px|right|thumb|Psaro's appearance in ''Monster Battle Road II Legend''.]]
Psaro appears as a playable character, as well as the boss for Legend Quest IV in Chapter 7: The demon Lord.
===''[[Dragon Quest: Monster Battle Road Victory]]''===
After the hero of ''Monster Battle Road Victory'' wins over his/her rival Ryuuta, Psaro escapes from the game world to the real world to challenge the hero. After clearing the game, he will be at the harbor waiting for the hero to challenge him again.
==={{DQH}}===
Psaro is a secret playable character in the game. In the original Japanese version, he is part of the downloadable content but he is included by default in international versions of the game. In order for Psaro to join your party, he must be beaten in battle in the quest "A Monstrous Apparition", which can be undertaken after defeating the [[Barbatos]] at Yggdrasil. Before that, Psaro will appear as a "Mysterious Swordsman" who randomly appears in a few levels before disappearing. His reasons for joining the heroes are personal, as he wants to take revenge on [[Velasco]] for taking advantage of his monstrous brethren and end the curse placed on them.

Psaro wields [[greatsword (weapon type)|greatswords]] in combat and uses a combination of [[Zam]] magic and martial arts. For his [[Coup de Grâce]], Psaro uses the Secret of Evolution to transform into his mutated form and blasts enemies. Due to his status as a secret character, Psaro will not appear in cutscenes and he has no impact on the main storyline.

Psaro appears in Dragon Quest Heroes II as a recurring character that can be played as in co-op dungeons, but is unable to be used in the regular story mode. His moveset is mostly unchanged from the previous game, but is unable to equip any new weaponry, being locked to the Conqueror’s sword, though he can still equip Orbs and accessories.

==={{DQTreasures}}===
A statue of the non-mutated Psaro appears as [[List of treasures in Dragon Quest Treasures|Treasure No. 357]], wit a base value of 1,200,000.

==={{DQTact}}===
Psaro's humanoid form known as just Psaro appears as a S-rank member of the [[??? family]] as part of the game's 1.5 anniversary event in Japan and for the 2022 Dragon Quest Day for Global versions on his own banner alongside [[Roseguardin|Sir Roseguardin]]. A special promotional campaign for Japanese players included a contest held between January 16th, 2022 to January 22nd, 2022 to win "Demon Swordsman Psaro SP Scout" vouchers, as well as a TV commercial starring actor [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2320666/ Yū Shirota] as the character.
