'''Amon'''{{ForeignTitle}} is a [[monster]] sheep who makes his only appearance in the ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'' episode [[Sheepwrecked]]. Amon used to be a regular sheep until he escaped from [[Dream Land (anime)|Dream Land]] after [[King Dedede (anime character)|King Dedede]] attempted to have him made into dinner and was then struck by lightning out in the wilderness, which Amon explains imbued him with the heart and mind of a wolf. Amon has two different forms: One resembles a regular sheep, while the other is much larger and has horns which can be fired like missiles and regrown. Amon attempts to rally the sheep of Dream Land in a revolt against Dream Land and its inhabitants, but he ends up giving up this struggle once he realizes he cannot help the other sheep after they give in to a blow of the [[Minor characters#Minor characters in Kirby: Right Back at Ya!|shepherd]]'s horn. | '''Amon'''{{ForeignTitle}} is a [[monster]] sheep who makes his only appearance in the ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'' episode [[Sheepwrecked]].

Amon is only given a proper name in Japanese, so that is the name used for this article. In the English version, he is only referred to as "the bad sheep". | Amon is only given a proper name in the Japanese version, so that is the name used for this article.

Amon is very similar in appearance to the other sheep of Dream Land, but is distinguishable by his angry eyes and his gray-ish wool. He is the only sheep who is capable of speech, though he also appears to be able to be understood by the sheep when he addresses them. Amon has a wild and rebellious temperament, and frequently refers to himself as a wolf (a common predator of sheep). To reinforce this notion, he frequently howls like a wolf, and calls for his flock of sheep to do the same. It is hinted by [[Sword Knight (anime character)|Sword Knight]] and [[Blade Knight (anime character)|Blade Knight]] that Amon was given this temperament and his powers by [[Night Mare Enterprises]]. | Amon is very similar in appearance to the other sheep of Dream Land, but is distinguishable by his angry eyes and his gray-ish wool.

Amon has a second more monstrous form which he can transform into at will. When he does so, he becomes much larger with dark-gray wool and a more elongated body. His eyes turn into an opaque dark green and his horns transform into straight long spikes that can be shot at opponents and regrown in seconds. These horn projectiles when launched are strong enough to pierce stone and deflect [[Needle]] [[Kirby (anime character)|Kirby]]'s attacks. | Amon has a second more monstrous form which he can transform into at will.
