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 (Dragon Quest IV)|Hero]]'s party would destroy each other in their battle, enabling him to ascend to Psaro's position as master of all monsters unchallenged. He is killed in Nadiria in the original version of the game, but the PSX remake (and subsequent ports) expands his role to that of the game's true villain. Having cultivated the [[Secret of Evolution]] unbeknownst to Psaro, he takes control of the [[Diabolic Hall]].
