Aamon's natural state is that of a pink skinned, wizened looking demon garbed in priestly attire. Once transformed, he takes on the stumpy appearance {{Psaro B}} bore after losing his arms and head during the original conflict, and mutates into [[Psaro the Manslayer|the familiar five-eyed form]] as the fight continues. His coloration is different than {{Psaro B}}'s was, with boney white being the primary hue along with purple for his musculature and blood red for the horns and talons. When he is pushed to the brink, Aamon will mutate a final time and his skin will turn jet black, muscles and horns shifting to a sickening teal. This new form is called '''Ashtaroth'''.

A spell-casting fiend and one of {{Psaro B}}'s higher ranked minions, Aamon is first encountered near the end of the game in all versions, wherein the player must defeat him and several other {{MFamilies}}s in order to destroy the barrier protecting [[Castle Nadiria]].

Aamon embodies the worst stereotypes of his kind, using {{Psaro B}}'s faith in monsterkind to avoid suspicion while sowing seeds of strife amongst the ranks and trigger the events that would lead to the final battle of {{Dragon Quest IV}} by ordering the assassination of [[Rose]] through the use of hired humans. His original hope was that {{Psaro B}} and the {{Hero 4}}'s {{Party 4}} would destroy each other in their battle, enabling him to ascend to {{Psaro B}}'s position as master of all {{MFamilies}}s unchallenged only to be killed in [[Nadiria]].

As of {{DQ4 Chapter 6}} the {{PSX}} remake (and subsequent ports) expands his role to that of the game's true villain. Having cultivated and mastered the [[Secret of Evolution]] unbeknownst to Psaro, he takes control of the [[Diabolic Hall]].

When the [[bonus dungeon]] known as the {{Fungeon 4}} of the remakes is completed, {{Psaro C}} becomes an ally and Aamon will engage the party when he is present. The [[Secret of Evolution]] quickly changes him into a likeness of what {{Psaro B}} became under of the secret's effect, though he is leagues stronger than the [[Psaro (Character)|white-haired demon]] was when under that power's influence, having access to the most devastating of [[Breath attack]]s and even the most mighty of all spells: [[Magic Burst]].

Aamon appears in the game as its new coin boss, starting on August 8th 2022. He is initially fought by himself, but as his health decreases, 3 Coverages appear, one fire, one ice, and one earth to aid him. He can also cast [[Kaboomle]], [[Kazammle]], Continuous Dolmadon, and Spooky Incantation, as well as increase the power of his magic and summon a hurricane. His Ashtaroth form later appears as a coin boss from May 1st 2023 onwards, while he himself can also be fought alongside Barbatos, Rashaverak, and Pruslas in the Four Barrier Guardians boss fight from November 22nd, 2023 onwards. Fitting of a schemer, he protects himself with a barrier and lets the 3 followers of Psaro do the fighting until they're dead.

Aamon is a major character in the game, first seen alongside Randolfo when Psaro asks his father to help find a cure for his mother, only for the Master of Monsterkind to curse his son to not attack monsters. After Psaro clears Rank G of the Maullosseum, Aamon is pleased that everything is going as planned, but muses that Psaro is still weak to usurp Randolfo's throne and urges him to grow stronger in battle. He later appears with [[Furgil]] at [[Rosehill]]'s tower after Psaro has helped a [[Winky]] rescue [[Psaro's Pawn]] from [[Raph]].

Aamon is named after a demon found in traditional Christian demonology and is listed in the Ars Goetia, his name derived from either the Egyptian deity Amun or the chief Carthaginian god Baal Hammon. Aamon is described as a Grand Marquis of Hell who governs over 40 infernal legions. He can appear as either a fire-breathing wolf with a serpent as a tail or as a man with a raven's head with dog's teeth in its beak. Aamon is called upon to settle disputes between friends and enemies and has knowledge of all things past and things to come.

:His final form's new name, Ashtaroth, is derived from the demon [[Wikipedia:Astaroth|Astaroth]], who is described as a Great Duke of Hell and forms an evil trinity with Beelzebub and Lucifer. He is likely named after the Phoenician goddess Astarte.
