Monks and Zealots are level 5 creatures of Castle. They can be recruited from Monasteries.

Monks train themselves to control and project their personal energistic forces, which they deliver as ranged blasts. While Monks suffer the normal melee penalty, the better trained Zealots do not.

Ingham the Cleric has monks as a specialty, which increases the attack and defense skills of any monk or zealot under his command for each level he attains after the 5th level.

Monks have an AI Value of 485 (increased to 582 in HotA).

Zealots have an AI Value of 750.
