Mamon is a small mining town in Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen.
It is the most dire location in the entire game, with several inhabitants having fled.

Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen[edit]
When Estark was sealed into slumber and entombed by the humans, Mamon was built over his tomb to keep him from ever being released. However, over the centuries he was forgotten, and the inhabitants of the town began to mine beneath it.
Eventually they started to approach the lower catacombs and unknowingly released a miasmatic gas that emanated from the tomb and wafted up the shafts into the town, slowly killing everybody one by one by poisoning. Over the course of the game, the townspeople become fewer, the graves become more numerous and all the buildings fall into a state of disrepair.
In Chapter 4, Maya and Meena Mahabala delve into Mamon Mine to find Powder keg in hopes of scaring the chancellor into unwittingly revealing Balzack's hiding place.
The party returns a number of times in Chapter 5, notably when the miners accidentally dig all the way down to Estark's Crypt and unseal it, awakening him. The Hero and their companions go down to battle and kill Estark, narrowly avoiding unleashing the dangers of the Secret of Evolution on an unsuspecting world. Despite the problem being solved, Mamon is too far gone to be saved. It is worth noting that the game does not show what happened to Mamon after defeating Psaro the Manslayer (Aamon in Chapter 6), making the ideas of Mamon being rebuilt after the monster crisis is over or Mamon being abandoned in the end being up to one's imagination.
