It is hard to tell if the Sheruvian monk is human, or some foul spawn of inhuman parents. The head of the warrior-monk has been shaved smooth and is covered in dark, mystic runes tattooed on its scalp. A heavy brow hangs low over its cold, calculating eyes.[1]

Other information

Any attacks made by a member of the Council of Light against a Sheruvian initiate will occasionally fail and cause the player to incur a 5 second roundtime. This also includes attempted combat maneuvers against the Sheruvian initiate. There is no way to prevent this while still a member of the society, and the hesitation is checked for on each attack or manuever. This is shown through the following message:

As you begin to attack the Sheruvian monk, you feel a strange empathic tug within your mind, and stop short.
Roundtime: 5 sec.

Sheruvian monks occasionally gain a +50 AS bonus to their attack for one swing, which is usually preceded by a random bellowing warcry.

When a Sheruvian monk lands an attack, its weapon has a chance to drain a spirit point.

If injured, Sheruvian monks can "pray" to Sheru to heal lost hitpoints from other creatures in the room--shown as meditating over the afflicted creature--or itself:

A monk murmurs a prayer to Sheru for aid.
The monk suddenly looks healthier.
