I recall there being a scene in the HERO classroom where the ranks of monsters are talked about. Now I have no clue if monsters can evolve but we know they all have assigned ranks. The Minyaks if I'm not wrong are the lowest ranked thus far in the game (might be wrong about that) but we do see 2 come together to become a giant variant. Perhaps in certain cases that would be considered their 'evolution' and thus their rank was 'increased' but I'm unsure what it'd be from the their usual (even MC at his level at the time was able to take it on with minimal difficulty from what I recall).You know that's actually funny you mention that, I don't think anywhere in the lore or otherwise it has ever been mentioned whether or not monsters can evolve. I do find it a little odd that a Superhuman like say, Oscar, could theoretically evolve strong than it's easily defeated monster counterpart. You're telling me humans are more compatible with the monster gene than the literal source of said monster gene? It doesn't really make sense to me.
The only way I could try to make sense of it is that they have a like chat with their Apostle or Origin upon evolution (like the MC or Alice) and THAT'S what jumpstarts your evolution every time. I can't remember if Jake ever mentioned if he encountered the 1st during his evolution, but if he does it all but furthers my point.
He have had some cases though where monster have GOTTEN stronger though, it is possible just never from an evolutionary stance like we've seen with humans.
-Valravn is the prime example, he was a crow turned by the 7th, but I believe he also mentions being trained by his master I believe, even if we ignore that part; he still hunted and ate hearts to make up for his lost strength.
-Kenny is another, dude went from something we could bitch slap through a floor, to a mid Lvl 1 and still growing as time went on. He took was consuming stuff to get stronger.
-Angelia's Monster that grew her breasts was yet another stronger off of eating, and while some may use the excuse it was BECAUSE of her breasts, it also used our breasts as well, almost making an infinite power cheat code.
I do wonder...how did we evolve again? Ah yes, CONSUMING through Deryl's monster body. Our monster parents are constantly telling us to just fucking eat everything, hell even the Origin says so as well. Whether or not monsters CAN actually evolve I'm sure is up to debate, as we have personally never seen it ourselves, but so far it's not looking like it's entirely impossible, we just haven't seen it yet.
More or less, it might just depend on the monster. I'm more curious about seeing those very high ranked or special variants of monsters (I think those were mentioned in the HERO class as well and are probably what we could consider 'evolutions' of the standard monster variants HERO fights) that are stronger than the typical variant of monsters we see, the 2 Minyaks coming together might be a special variant in that case but I have no clue that might just be something Minyaks can do whenever or under certain circumstances.
My mind is foggy on the HERO class stuff so please do correct me if I'm wrong on anything.
