Monk chathead

Monks are worshippers of Saradomin who live in monasteries, churches, and on the island of Entrana. Monks will heal a few of a player's Hitpoints if the player talks to them and asks them to do so.

Monks are useful for training on at lower combat levels, as players can talk to another monk and request healing. Monks will also heal themselves at random intervals in combat, resulting in more experience per kill. Because monks can survive small amounts of damage, it's possible for a defence pure to train on the same monk indefinitely.

The largest group of monks is found the monastery north-east of the entrance to the Dwarven mines. Free-to-play players often visit the monastery to heal due to a lack of high-tier food and prayer potions.
