===Appearance=== | |||
Mad Monks were undead men who had sickly green skin. They had large heads which appeared to be stitched up. They had wonky red eyes, protruding yellow teeth and prominent ears. The monks wore simple brown robes tied around their waist with a thick rope-like belt. They were known to carry shovels around with them. | |||
