Also exclusive to the Monsters series are the Nardragon and Stabosaur... and yes, these really are different monsters
The Joker series has some straight-up confirmed evolutions as well in the form of the Incarni and Leokid -> Leonyx
Shadow -> Fly-By-Knight, and Scorpion -> Armoured Scorpion
More cut monsters: Boring Bug -> two unused bugs. The eyes and scythelike hands make me think they were a trio. I do also see a mild resemblance to the Scissor Beatle.
Another very clear example. Although there's so many variants, it's hard to say some are direct "upgrades" over others, but they're definitely related. I think Killing Machine -> Overkilling Machine -> Trauminator -> Saggittar have a clear hierarchy, though.
Another clear example is Khalamari Kid -> King Squid -> Khalamari. The first and last in this chain both originated in VIII, and have a shared name for a reason. Khalamari very clearly takes inspiration from King Squid, so I think it makes sense to consider it a "middle stage".
The iconic Chimaera has an "evolution" of its own: the Dreamaera.
Most obvious example being the Great Sabrecub and Great Sabrecat. They're treated as different species, but are canonically just at different stages in their lives. The same goes for the Sanguinis and Bloody Manguini, as I've shared before.
Rereading Blackest Night and I'm being hit with so much nostalgia. This was one of the first comics my brother and I bought the day it came out, and we were so excited to read it, we sat down and read it together because we didn't want to wait for the other to finish it first.
