Portraits

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}
