High Priest Mamon (大神官マモーン, Dai Shinkan Mamōn, Great Priest Mamon) is an Aku enemy introduced in the 49th stage of The Aku Realms, Moon/Iriomote.
==Enemy==
High Priest Mamon is a force to be reckoned with. His attacks are devastating, with almost no way to avoid them or interrupt him. While he attacks non-stop, Cats are expected to break a massively powerful Shield, then deal with his massive health, which is no easy task. His long foreswing gives cats a chance to get in his range, but the attack, both Toxic and damaging, which also hits outside of his maximum range, is pretty much guaranteed to require a new batch of units for the next attack. Luckily, his speed and lack of downtime when attacking mean he will not move much if there are Cats ready to enter his range, meaning he has to rely on other enemies keeping cats off his range after he attacks.
==Strategy==
Stalling this enemy isn't that hard and you must drain his limited support while keeping him at bay. Then, slowly but surely, he will go down. For this to happen, you need to make sure that you have the proper units for whoever supports it, as to prevent them from getting in the way, but you also need fast meatshields, such as Manic Mohawk Cat, Manic Eraser Cat or Talented Jiangshi Cat. Once you are sure that he won't have many opportunities to move, add one or more Shield Piercing Cats to hopefully get rid of his shield. Aku Researcher works fine, but your best choice is the one-off Supercar who can occasionally sneak in and destroy his shield. Once the Shield is down, you can take advantage of the situation to knock High Priest Mamon back or keep attacking until he takes enough damage, then repeat until he dies, and obliterate the enemy base.

==Trivia==
*He is more than likely a reference to the Dragon Quest character Hargon, as besides having similar designs, both are evil priests who aim to summon skull-wearing demonic gods of destruction (Malroth in Hargon's case, Lord of Ruin Jagando in High Priest Mamon's).
**Mamon's design also bears similarities to Killvearn, another antagonist from the Dragon Quest franchise.
*Together, Mamon and Mimon reference Mamō and Mimō, a pair of comedy characters from the variety show Ucchan Nanchan no Yarunara Yaraneba!.
*His name is one letter away from Mammon, which has often been used as a name for a patron demon of greed.
*Mamon sounds dangerously close to the Spanish insult Mamón, so the Spanish translation renames him to Babón.
*When Mamon is knocked back, his left hand temporarily gains an extra finger.
*He is tied with Lord of Ruin Jagando for the highest Shield health of all Aku.
