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

"Monks and zealots train themselves to control and project their personal energistic forces, which they deliver as ranged blasts. While monks suffer the normal penalty for ranged unit hand-to-hand attack damage (50%), the better trained zealots do not." RoE manual

Heroes with a specialty
  • Ingham Ingham the Cleric has monks as a specialty, which increases the attack and defense skills of any monks or zealots for each level attained after 5th level and gives them a speed bonus of 1.

Horn of the Abyss

  • In Hota AI Value of Monks was increased to 582.
  • Shadows of Monks and Zealots' adventure map view were fixed:

General Tactics and Info

Their stats are very low for a level 5, but they are indispensable due to their ranged attack. However, it's only enough for the enemy to strike this unit a few times and it's dead (even if they have no melee penalty with upgrade), so they should be well protected if they are to still deal some damage and survive harder battles.
