== Overview ==
'''Hamidon''' is the ultimate monster in the game. A giant amoeba that spawns within [[The Hive]] (Hero Side) and [[The Abyss]] (Villain Side). Between the Hamidon core and its many surrounding Mitochondria, Hamidon is difficult to defeat. Over time specific strategies have evolved that take 30-50 heroes to defeat Hamidon. Defeating Hamidon results in the award choice of a single random [[Hamidon Origin Enhancements|Hamidon Enhancement]] or 53 merits.

== Background ==

The Hamidon was once a zealous scientist named Hamidon Pasalima. Using hideous dark magic and his own genetic genius, he transformed himself into the god-like monster that would spawn the [[Devouring Earth]] and threaten the entire world. In a Q&A done by Razer, developer Black Scorpion implied that Hamidon had somehow been able to tap into the [[Incarnate|Well of The Furies]] and turned himself into an Incarnate, which could explain his appearance and massive power.

== Hami Raids ==

Attempts to defeat Hamidon, generally referred to as Hami Raids, occur regularly on most servers. Since it takes 50+ heroes to defeat Hamidon, these are loosely organized events that bring together many, many heroes, all hoping to acquire a single [[Hamidon Origin Enhancements|Hamidon Enhancement]].

Over time a basic strategy has evolved for defeating Hamidon. Exact strategy may vary from server to server, but generally it involves several teams of people, and three distinct phases.
