Aamon

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. Although some demonologists have associated his name with the Egyptian god Ammon, it is more plausible its derivation from the Semitic god Baal Hammon, also worshipped in some areas of northern Egypt that had been in contact with Semitic tribes.

Other spelling: Amon
