In demonology Aamon is one of Astaroth's assistants. He knows past and future, giving that knowledge to those who had made a pact with Satan. According to some authors he has forty legions of demons under his command, having the title of prince. There is no agreement on how to depict him, being sometimes portrayed as an owl-headed man, and sometimes as a wolf-headed man with snake tail. Demonologists have associated his name with the Egyptian god Amun or with the god Ba‘al Hammon of Carthage.
Other spelling: Amon
