Amon (アモン Amon?) was a mostly unseen supporting character referenced in Devilman Crybaby. He is shown only once in his original form at the Sabbath Party. He was a powerful demon warrior of heroic reputation and the onetime lover of Sirene, Amon took possession of Akira Fudo during the Sabbath Party orchestrated by Ryo Asuka; transforming him into the titular Devilman.
Appearance[]
He possesses a coat of dark fur that covers his entire legs, and he has clawed feet and fingers. His head is covered in hair that sprouts small wings from the sides and antenna near the top, and forms into a widow's peak with a red forehead. His back sprouts large black wings resembling those of a stereotypical devil with a purple interior. He also has a thin monkey-like tail.
Personality[]
As with his prepossession, much of Amon's demeanour remains quite a mystery; but based on Sirene's expectations of Akira, Amon was violent, but passionate and quite a lover. Amon was true to his reputation of being both courageous and ferocious in his battles.
Abilities[]
Amon was only seen once under his own power at the Sabbath Party, as Amon would possess roughly the same raw abilities as exhibited by Devilman. These include his superior strength in relation to most demons as well as his versatile regenerative abilities and his innate power to possess or merge with other beings.
History[]
|
Most of the details of Amon's past prior to his possession of Akira were never revealed. All that can be discerned is that he was a reputable fighter and a hero among the demon hordes. He was both feared for his brutality and respected for his bravery, his only relations being with Sirene. It may be inferred that Amon existed in the previously destroyed prehistoric Earth considering that Ryo is aware of his existence.
During an underground Sabbath Party, Amon would fuse with the young human Akira Fudo. However, Akira's purity overwhelmed Amon's will, allowing for Akira to become the eponymous Devilman. Amon as a separate character from Akira is thus never fully seen.
