'''Monk''' is a member of the [[Warriors of Light]] in ''[[Final Fantasy]]''. Monk is experienced in martial arts, and he can deal more damage to enemies if he is not equipped with a weapon. If the Warriors of Light complete the optional [[Citadel of Trials]], [[Bahamut]] upgrades their class, and Monk is upgraded to [[Master (Final Fantasy)|Master]]. Monk's starting weapon is the [[Staff]]. In the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]], he is known as '''Black Belt'''.

In the Nintendo Entertainment System and [[MSX2]] releases, Monk is wearing blue clothes. Starting with the [[WonderSwan Color]] version, Monk's appearance was changed significantly; his hair was changed to brown and spiked, he wears a red karate belt, a red headband on his head, and a red wristband on each arm. His clothes were made purple, his shirt is sleeveless, and he is barefoot. Starting with the [[PlayStation Portable]] version, Monk was given purple shoes, his headband and both wristbands were changed to blue, and he wears purple armor rather than a traditional karate outfit.

In ''[[Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales]]'', Monk is one of the job classes that cameos in the microgame [[Job Juggler]]. Like the other characters, his sprite is taken from the NES version of ''Final Fantasy''.

==Auto-names==
Starting with the ''[[Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls]]'' release, Monk has ten auto-names, most of which reference a character from another ''[[Final Fantasy (series)|Final Fantasy]]'' game:
