'''Aamon''' (originally '''Radimvice''') is an antagonist from ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''. He is a powerful magus and subordinate of [[Psaro the Manslayer]].

==Characteristics==

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 destroy the barrier protecting Castle Nadiria.

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 embodies the worst stereotypes of his kind, 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 is killed in Nadiria in the original version of the game, but the PSX remake (and subsequent ports) expand his role to that of the game's true villain. Having cultivated the [[Secret of Evolution]] unbeknownst to Psaro, he takes control the Diabolic Hall.

When the bonus ~~content~~ is ~~sought~~, Psaro becomes an ally and Aamon ~~takes his role as~~ the ~~true 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 dungeon 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|breath]] attacks and even [[Magic Burst]].

==Appearances==

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 ~~[[Sony PlayStation]]~~ and ~~[[Nintendo 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. Though he appears to be a mere lackey, he actually sets in motion much of the endgame. His 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 color along with purple for his musculature and blood red for the horns 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.
