Munkki
Munkki (listen 
) (or Monk) is a rare robotic enemy that can spawn naturally in The Vault, occasionally in the Underground Jungle, and more commonly in The Tower.
It has two floating hands that are detached from the body that shoot glowing green orbs towards enemies and you. These orbs deal 20 damage per hit, and have a glowing pixelated effect.
Hand Statues
In the Snowy Depths, statues made of rock can be found, resembling the shape of a hand with one or two fingers extended. Kicking these statues or targeting them with Telekinetic Kick will trigger at least one Monk to spawn, and the statue will disappear.
A minimum of 3 statues typically spawn in the Snowy Depths, and the number of Monks spawned from activating each increases with each statue activated in a run. The first statue activated only spawns one monk, the next two, and the third statue will spawn three Monks.
Additionally, activating the third statue will spawn the Broken Spell item, which is required to begin the series of events that allows you to unlock The End Of Everything spell.
Munkki statues can be sacrificed at the Floating Island altar (using Kuu or Homebringer Teleport Bolt) for an Achievement Pillar and a unique enemy with Munkki hands.
Behavior & Combat
The Monk will attack you on sight and can even target you if you are 
Invisible, but it moves slowly and tends not to chase if you flee, making it easy to escape. It is a sturdy enemy, but its projectiles move fairly slowly and in straight lines, making it reasonably straightforward to avoid taking damage during a one-on-one encounter.
Although the Monk is technically a robot type enemy, it does not take damage from Concentrated Mana, and lacks most of the typical damage resistances robots generally have, other than being immune to freezing and burning. It is, however, immune to critical hits.
Trivia
The Monk's hands have 65 damage each and can be destroyed via non-projectile damage, in which case the Monk will have no apparent remaining means of attack.
