A player safespotting a Monk of Zamorak

Monks of Zamorak are evil clerics that follow Zamorak, god of chaos. They are found in several locations, including the Asgarnian Chaos Temple, Taverley Dungeon, Paterdomus Temple, outside the Ourania Cave, and the Deep Wilderness Dungeon. A level 17 monk of Zamorak is in a cage under the stairs on the ground floor[UK]1st floor[US] of Varrock Palace. He is often used in free-to-play servers to train magic using the Curse spell.

Despite their relatively low Hitpoints and combat level, they can hit quite high with their Melee and Magic attacks, which they can switch between.

A group of monks of Zamorak are encountered during the Priest in Peril quest, and the player must kill one for the golden key. During The Blood Moon Rises quest, these monks are permanently cleared out of the Paterdomus Temple.
