Monks of Zamorak worship the god Zamorak. The monks have formed groups and worship together at altars scattered throughout RuneScape. They attack with melee and magic attacks. Unlike Saradomin monks, they do not heal players and do not have a "Talk-to" option. The only place that monks of Zamorak talk is in the Wilderness. Some monks are aggressive and attack when players approach them. They are able to use stat draining magic attacks. They are also always aggressive to players that attempt to take their Wine of Zamorak in the Chaos Temple.

Treasure Trails
In one Treasure Trails clue, a 'Zamorak Monk' must be slain to obtain a key that opens drawers in the Monastery. Monks of Zamorak at the Chaos Temple and the entrance to the Ourania altar will drop this key. Monks of Zamorak at the Paterdomus do not. (It is currently unknown if monks of Zamorak at other locations drop the key.)

Trivia
- In RuneScape Classic, some monks of Zamorak wield a steel mace, and drop it when killed.
- The level 22 Monks of Zamorak have a special close-ranged magic attack that can deal up to 80 life points. The level 17 monks have a similar attack that hits up to 60. The level 22 monks are easily distinguished from level 17 monks as their robes are scarlet and their feet are covered by long robes.
- The temple of Paterdomus is an excellent place to train on monks as an altar is present. The church pews can be used as safespots when ranging.
- During the Defender of Varrock quest, the monk of Zamorak locked up in Varrock Castle asks if the zombies might free him.
- This "special close-ranged magic attack" or "magic" these Monks use is actually melee based.
- While all monks wear underdetailed red robes, the ones in Paterdomus have clothes with much more detail and colours.de:Mönch von Zamorak
- Level 17 monks only have 100 life points which is the same as new players start out with, meaning their only combat skills may be a low attack and magic or at least 30 magic with no other levels.
- In RuneScape Classic, there was a glitch where a Monk of Zamorak was stuck in Lumbridge for weeks, you could not talk or attack it.
- For very low-levelled Magic levelled players, wear your plate armour along with an Air Staff and Wind Rush the locked up Monk of Zamorak in Varrock Castle due to the fact that when you don't do damage maging, you still gain at least 1 or 2 experience.
