History

Go! Greenman

Maoh was the fifty-third Template:Kaiju to battle Greenman. He is the source of all evil in the world, and was banished to the Underworld by God. To be freed from the underground prison, Maoh must collect the blood of human children, but his plans usually devolve into pure mischief, and attempts to stop Greenman. He has a sidekick named Tonchiki and clay doll servants called the Minions of Maoh which both are tasked by Maoh to collect the blood.

Maoh is first seen in Episode 1, Greenman vs. Garameddon, seemingly suffering from amnesia after being banished to the Underworld, but Tonchiki reminds him of what he has to do to be freed from the prison, and Maoh soon returns to his scheming ways, intent on achieving his plans.

After all but one of his minions are destroyed by Greenman, he teleports to the surface to get the blood himself. However, he is unable to move his legs because of his banishment. Using a magic spell, he transforms some of the children into stone, and summons Tonchiki to take the stones to the underworld.

Greenman fights him, but Maoh quickly retaliates, utilizing dark magic to stop Greenman in his tracks. However, the remaining children use their Green Calls to free Greenman from the magic. Now fully recharged, Greenman went to the underworld and used his Greenman Stick ability to free the Children. He then went back to the surface and engaged Maoh once again, and killed him with his Flash Shock.
