Aamon is an antagonist from Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen.

He is a powerful magus and subversive subordinate of Psaro the Manslayer who schemes of usurping his master as the ruler of monsterkind.

In the remake exclusive Chapter 6 of the game, he is the true antagonist and final boss.

Characteristics

A spell-casting fiend and one of Psaro'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 monsters in order to destroy the barrier protecting Castle Nadiria.

Aamon embodies the worst stereotypes of his kind, using Psaro'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 and the Hero's party would destroy each other in their battle, enabling him to ascend to Psaro's position as master of all monsters unchallenged only to be killed in Nadiria.

As of 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 of the remakes is completed, Psaro 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 became under of the secret's effect, though he is leagues stronger than the white-haired demon was when under that power's influence, having access to the most devastating of Breath attacks and even the most mighty of all spells: Magic Burst.

Appearances

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 bore after losing his arms and head during the original conflict, and mutates into the familiar five-eyed form as the fight continues. His coloration is different than Psaro'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.

First encounter

Aamon is first battled at the barrier tower in Nadiria. He is flanked by three drooling ghouls.

Etymology

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 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.
