<p dir="auto">.."Amon" mean? This term has been used often with Conan's enemies: Toth-Amon, Wrath Amon (the snake-wizard from that Conan: the Adventurer cartoon where the heros possess star-metal weapons, his parents are petrified..), etc.<br />
My guess is it stands for something wizardly or sorcerous, almost like a "title".. and/or it has some signifigance to Set? Wrath-Amon was clearly a lieutenant of Set given he was a serpent man, and in this film even Toth Amon's robes appear to have snake-like emblazings, though there's never any mention of Set.</p>

<p dir="auto">The Conan stories take place on prehistorical Earth, before the last Ice Age.</p>

<p dir="auto">Yeah I agree and didn't know the Stygians were connected with Egyptians - always assumed the Conan stories were taking place in a fictional world (not a fantasy-like Earth).<br />
Ram-Amon? Didn't he have a very pharaoh-ish appearance; wearing a snake-motifed, Egyptian-like "crown" and have one of those chin-ornaments (also resembling a cobra)? This character is from the cartoon - which I am a fan of, and prefer to this movie (not the original) and the remake. Making a film or a trilogy of movies based on that Conan: the Adventurer cartoon would've been awesome to see</p>

<p dir="auto">It would be nice to think that there would be some higher intention to the use of the -Amon suffix, but frankly, I think it's just because of association with snakes/Set combined with association to the original - Thoth-Amon.<br />
Thoth-Amon appeared in "The Phoenix on the Sword," and was referred to in "The God in the Bowl," "The Hour of the Dragon" and the non-Conan story "The Haunter of the Ring."  The name seems simply to be a conjunction of the Egyptian gods Thoth and Amon (usually spelled Amun, though Amon is accepted): Thoth-Amon is a Stygian, who were the Hyborian Age ancestors of the people who would become the Egyptians.<br />
Thoth-Amon was boosted into Conan's nemesis by subsequent authors, and made his mortal foe in the comics.  Because of Thoth-Amon's presence, his role as a Set-worshipping sorcerer and the suffix -Amon was repeated in different continuities:<br />
Conan the Destroyer<br />
as Toth-Amon, and<br />
Conan the Adventurer<br />
as Wrath-Amon and Ram-Amon.<br />
Since the stories, films and cartoon all occupy pretty much incompatible universes, it's very unlikely Thoth-Amon exists in<br />
Conan the Adventurer<br />
, or Wrath-Amon in the comics.</p>
