| Aamon | |
| Dragon Quest IV | |
| |
| Japanese name | エビルプリースト |
| Romaji | Ebirupurīsuto |
| Old localisation | Radimvice |
| Race | Demon |
| Voice actor | Bin Shimada (Japanese, Rivals) |
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.
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.
Appearances
Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen
First encounter
Aamon is first battled at the barrier tower in Nadiria. He is flanked by three drooling ghouls.

Final Showdown
In the remakes, Aamon resurfaces in Chapter 6 as the true final boss, having somehow survived his run-in with the hero at Nadiria to assume control of Diabolic Hall. Much like Psaro the Manslayer, he has several forms:

Dragon Quest Rivals
Aamon first appeared in his humanoid form in the 7th card pack, "Strange Tale of Light and Darkness" as a super rare card exclusive for Demon Swordsmen. His transformed form also appeared once the game's name changed to Rivals Ace in the 2nd card pack, "And Thus Into Legend..." under the title, "Ultimate Evil Priest".
Dragon Quest Walk
Aamon appeared in the game as a boss in Chapter 3 of the Dragon Quest IV collaboration event held from November to December 2019, as well as a special mega version that can be challenged by multiple players.
Dragon Quest Tact
Aamon appeared as a boss during the limited Dragon Quest IV event. He can be faced in the event story Chapter 4, Episode 4: The Fourth Barrier, as well as in the Den on Aamon on the Road to Psaro's Peak. Aamon begins the battle protected by a wall of light for 3 turns and is guarded by a pair of Drooling ghouls. He can cast Kaswoosh and Kazam and can use Head-Butt Charge and will call upon more drooling ghouls to aid him if he is threatened.
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.
