{{Translation|'''Hargon'''|ハーゴン , Hāgon}}, mad cultist of [[Rendarak]], is the primary antagonist in {{Dragon Quest II}}.

His cult, the aptly named [[Children of Hargon]], seek to usher in an age of misery and destruction by summoning the god of destruction. To accomplish one stage of this mission, Hargon sent his minions to attack [[Moonbrooke]] Castle at the beginning of {{Dragon Quest II}}, killing the king and destroying the palace.

Although defeating him appears to be the final objective of the descendants of [[Erdrick]] from [[Hero (Dragon Quest II)|Midenhall]], [[Prince of Cannock|Cannock]], and [[Princess of Moonbrooke|Moonbrooke]], Hargon was in fact a corrupt cleric that planned to summon the God of Destruction, [[Malroth]], whom the heroes must ultimately destroy after defeating Hargon.

Hargon has made regular appearances in the {{Monsters Series}} series and other spinoffs, as well as appearing as a central antagonist in ''[[Dragon Quest Builders 2]]''.

==Characteristics==
Hargon is a blue-skinned humanoid being who wields a crystal ball-topped staff in his right hand that is much taller than himself. On his head he wears a finned cowl bearing a circular gem at the forehead, around his neck a necklace with a crystal pendant, and has a shroud draped over his body that prominently shows off a stylized bat. This bat is the emblem of his cult, and can be seen on monsters serving him such as the [[Sorcerer]], [[Hargonaut]], and [[Wrecktor]]. He also wears sandals. When he first appeared, Hargon had four fingers on each hand, but later illustrations changed it to five fingers like many other humanoid monsters in the series.

Hargon is as arrogant and indignant as becoming of a villain. He is also a potent sorcerer, able to cast powerful magic and invoke terrible curses on those that would defy him. Hargon often has an affinity for explosive magic, particularly Kaboom as it was the most powerful spell in the game when he first appeared.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ2}}===
Hargon is established as the major villain at the start of the game, his minions attacking the kingdom of [[Moonbrooke]] and leaving only one soldier to struggle to [[Middenhall]] to deliver news of the attack before perishing from the hardships he endured. The [[Princess of Moonbrooke]], one of the descendants of [[Erdrick]], manages to survive the assault but is cursed by Hargon into the form of a dog.

==={{DQB2}}===
Hargon is an antagonist and is encountered towards the end of the game. He is never actually directly fought by the player, however, and only appears in cutscenes.
{{spoiler|start}}The entire world that the Builder and [[Malroth]] explore is an illusion created by Hargon. Hargon is surprised it still exists after his death, but decides to use it to his advantage and attempt to revive Malroth once again. Using unclear methods, he draws Malroth and the Builder into the illusion; his intent is to use the illusory world as a sort of incubator with the Builder to restore Malroth's power.

Hargon's soul resides within Malroth, remaining from when he offered himself as a sacrifice in his original attempt to revive the Master of Destruction. It is due to his intertwining with Malroth's being that he is able to speak to Malroth in his head. Hargon patiently waits for Malroth's power to swell as the Builder continues creating things on the islands. Hargon does not reveal himself until Malroth's rapid power growth causes him to lose control of himself. 

With Malroth's [[human]] guise incapacitated, Hargon spirits him away to coax him into shedding his human form that he has, in Hargon's opinion, grown too attached to. Hargon's methods here involve plunging Malroth into another illusion; in it Hargon offers Malroth's new friends, [[Lulu]], [[Rosie]], the other island residents, and the [[Builder (Dragon Quest Builders 2)|Builder]], as sacrifices, which Malroth unwittingly accepts. Malroth, upon realizing what he has done, does not know how to cope with this and begins to resume his true form and suppress his memories from his time with the Builder. Hargon is pleased with these results and watches as Malroth destroys [[Malhalla]] from his castle. Despite the progressing destruction of the realm Hargon retreated to, the Builder is able to arrive at Hargon's castle and confront Hargon and Malroth. The builder defeats a stunted Malroth, which ends up working out in Hagon's favor; it allows Malroth's human memories to finally be shed, resulting two separate Malroths. One being the weak discarded shedding of his human memories and the other being the rest of him. Hargon and the Master of Destruction then leave the castle as it is destroyed, leaving the Builder and the vestige of the Master of Destruction for dead. The Master of Destruction and Hargon are both proven wrong, however, as they are chased down by the Builder and Malroth. 

As Hargon mostly spectates the battle, he and the humanoid avatar of Malroth have a discussion between blows on why Hargon wishes to destroy everything. Hargon initially insists the absolute annihilation was always his goal, but Malroth reminds Hargon that he had originally wanted to make another world after destroying the first one. Malroth even comments on the high quality of the illusory world and wishes for good friends to come to Hargon "in (his) next life". Hargon appears to relent, slightly, and states he will "consider it" if the Master of Destruction is defeated. Hargon is subsequently dealt a fatal blow and finally fades away.{{spoiler|end}}

==={{DQWalk}}===
Hargon first appeared in the game as a boss in Chapter 3, Episode 3 of the {{Dragon Quest II}} event held in the game starting on June 10th, 2021, as well as a special mega version that can be challenged by multiple players. The player is aided by the [[Prince of Midenhall]] during the battle.

==={{DQTact}}===
Hargon appears as a S-rank member of the [[??? family]] as part of the ''Dragon Quest II'' event on his own banner alongside [[Grimlin]]. Hargon can also be scouted with the use of the Dark Lord/Hero Meeting Ticket S during the game's 1-year anniversary event. He can be faced in the event quest Chapter 5, Episode 3: High Priest Hargon, as well as boss battles in the Hall of Hargon and Malroth's Menace challenge quests. Hargon can also participate in the [[Gremlin]] and Blossom [[Stark raven]]'s Battle Roads as a party member.

==Trivia==
* While not meant to be fought as a proper enemy in ''Builders 2'', it is possible to strike him down as if he were via the spinning blade Flame Sword effect in battles where he is present in the background (where he is there as a background prop). He will eventually collapse as if defeated, but otherwise this is not noted by the story itself.
