In [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]] and [[notnotdNetHack]], the '''monk''', {{monsym|monk}}, is significantly altered as a [[monster]] from [[Monk (player monster)|its appearance]] in ''[[NetHack]]''.

As with ''NetHack'', the monk is a [[neutral]] [[Human (monster attribute)|human]] [[Player monster (dNetHack)|player monster]] corresponding to a [[Monk/dNetHack|Monk]] [[hero]]: they will have the [[role]]'s appropriate [[rank]] title for their [[monster level]], and they can reach level 30 like heroes can.

A monk has two [[weapon attack]]s, with the second attack using any [[Offhand weapon attack|offhand weapons]] they have available, as well as a [[claw attack]] and a [[kick attack]]—at level 21, they also gain the ability to cast [[dNetHack monster spell|clerical monster spells]] once per round of attacks.

Monks possess [[speed]], [[sleep resistance]] and [[see insivible]] like a Monk hero and other 'monk' monsters, and they will gain several intrinsics depending on their level: [[poison resistance]] at a minimum of level 3; [[stealth]] at a minimum of level 5; [[automatic searching]] at a minimum of level 9; [[fire resistance]] at a minimum of level 11; [[cold resistance]] at a minimum of level 13; [[shock resistance]] at a minimum of level 15; [[teleport control]] at a minimum of level 17; [[acid resistance]] at a minimum of level 19; [[swimming]] at a minimum of level 21; [[immunity to sickness]] at a minimum of level 23; [[disintegration resistance]] at a minimum of level 25; [[stoning resistance]] at a minimum of level 27; [[magic resistance]] at a minimum of level 29; and [[drain resistance]] at level 30.

Monks boast basic prowess in martial combat and have a full [[base attack bonus]] of +1.0 [[to-hit]] per monster level.

==Generation==
{{main|Player monster (dNetHack)#Locations|l1=*dNetHack player monster locations}}
Monks are not generated randomly, and are normally created as peaceful towards neutral heroes before specific adjustments are made. They are only a valid form for [[doppelganger]]s to [[polymorph]] into, and can only be targeted for [[genocide]] if a Monk hero [[read]]s a [[scroll of genocide]]—such a hero reading a cursed scroll while confused will instead create several monk player monsters adjacent to themselves.

Monk [[corpse]]s can generate in [[graveyard]]s, including ones within the [[Valley of the Dead]]. Monk [[statue]]s can generate in [[cockatrice nest]]s and on [[Medusa's Island]]. A Monk hero killed by HP damage from a [[cockatrice]] or [[chickatrice]], or else killed by any form of [[stoning]], will leave a named monk statue behind containing their inventory rather than a named [[ghost]] and named corpse if a [[bones]] file is created. Statues and [[figurine]]s of monks cannot be wished for by any means.

Several statues of monks are placed on specific squares of the [[Kensei quest]] locate level for [[lawful]] [[Yuki-onna (starting race)|yuki-onna]] [[Kensei]] during level creation.

===Live locations===
Hostile monks can appear among the various player monsters placed on the [[Astral Plane]] during level creation.

===Names===
[[Named]] monks that are placed outside of the Astral Plane are given various names that are derived from ''Journey to the West'' and roughly translated to English.

* The masculine names and titles that can be chosen from are listed as follows: "Bajie", "Wujing", "Jinjie Shiba Gong", "Guzhi Gong", "Lingkongzi", "Fuyun Sou", or "Dabai Gui".
* The feminine names and titles that can be chosen from are listed as follows: "Cuilan", "Guowang", "De Yong Furen", "Yutu Jing", or "Su'e".

===Inventory===
{{main|Player monster (dNetHack)#Inventory|l1=*dNetHack player monster inventory|Player monster (dNetHack)#Endgame equipment|l2=endgame equipment}}
A monk is [[generated with]] a [[sedge hat]], a [[pair of gloves]], a pair of [[low boots]], and a [[robe]].

Monks generated as prisoners in the Castle will have the above items among their belongings that are placed in the [[chest]] near the [[throne]].

Monks generated on the Astral Plane are subject to the same armor and weapon replacement odds as other player monsters.
