History

Go! Greenman

Maoh was the fifty-third 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. However, his plans usually devolve into pure mischief and attempts to stop Greenman. Maoh has a sidekick named Tonchiki, and clay doll servants called the Minions of Maoh. Tonchiki and the Minions of Maoh are tasked to collect the blood of children for Maoh.

Maoh is first seen in Episode 1, "Greenman vs. Garameddon." He appears to suffer from amnesia after being banished to the Underworld. His sidekick, Tonchiki, reminds him of what he has to do to be freed from prison, and soon he returns to his scheming ways. After all but one of the Minions of Maoh are destroyed by Greenman, Maoh teleports to the surface to collect blood himself. However, Maoh is unable to move his legs because of his banishment. Using a magic spell, Maoh transforms some of the children into stone, and orders Tonchiki to take the stone children into the Underworld. Greenman fights Maoh, with Maoh quickly retaliating with dark magic to stop Greenman in his tracks. The remaining children use their Green Calls to free Greenman from the magic. Now fully recharged, Greenman entered the Underworld and used his Greenman Stick ability to free the stone children. Greenman then returned to the surface and killed Maoh with Flash Shock.
