A spell-casting fiend and one of Psaro's higher ranked minions, Aamon is first encountered near the end of the game when the player must defeat him and several other monsters in order to reach and fight Psaro. | A spell-casting fiend and one of Psaro's higher ranked minions, Aamon is first encountered near the end of the game when the player must defeat him and several other monsters in order to reach and fight Psaro. | ||
Aamon proves to be a backstabber, using Psaro's faith in monsterkind to avoid suspicion and trigger the events that would lead to the final battle of ''Dragon Quest IV''. 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. He puts a great deal of effort into this plan, somehow surviving his first run-in with the Hero and later perfecting the Secret of Evolution in the event that something went awry, if not to also give him the power to crush the opposition. | Aamon proves to be a backstabber, using Psaro's faith in monsterkind to avoid suspicion and trigger the events that would lead to the final battle of ''Dragon Quest IV''.

When the bonus content is sought, Psaro becomes an ally and Aamon takes his role as the final boss. The Secret of Evolution quickly changes him into a likeness of what Psaro became at the peak of the Secret of Evolution's effect, though he is leagues stronger than Psaro was when under that power's influence, having access to the most devastating of breath attacks and even [[Magic Burst]]. | When the bonus content is sought, Psaro becomes an ally and Aamon takes his role as the true final boss.

Presently, Aamon has only been shown in Dragon Quest IV. Though he appears to be a mere lackey, he actually sets in motion much of the endgame. By having [[Rosaly|Rosa]] killed, he causes [[Psaro]] to fly into a rage and take the throne as King of Nadiria. His dialogue suggests that he intends to eventually take that role as his own, and indeed, in Chapter 6 of the [[PS2]] and [[DS]] remakes, he has used the [[Secret of Evolution]] on himself and achieved his goal. However, after reviving Rosa, Psaro and the Chosen are able to defeat Aamon and restore the world to its rightful state of affairs. | Presently, Aamon has only been shown in Dragon Quest IV.

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

Aamon grows new limbs and starts using using hard-hitting slam attacks. | |||

Grows a new head with three eyes, and the music changes to "Incarnation of Evil" at this point. He'll start using Disruptive Wave. | |||

Turning black, Aamon now gets deadly serious as he starts to unleash his most powerful attacks. | |||
