The Monk is a special unit in Age of Empires II that can be trained at the Monastery. Lacking any means of attack, Monks are one of only two units able to convert other units to the player's side, the other being the Spanish Missionary. They heal allied units and the player's own units, except for ships and siege weapons. Initially weak, Monks can be powered up quite a bit by researching all technologies in the Monastery.

Of all civilizations, the Aztecs have the strongest Monks, having access to all religious technologies and receiving an extra 5 HP for each one researched. If every technology is researched, Aztec Monks have 95 HP - more than twice as much as a regular Monk with Sanctity.

The Bohemians, Slavs, Saracens, and Spanish also have unique technologies that benefit their Monks. Byzantine, Lithuanian, and Teuton Monks are also fairly effective, benefiting from both Monastery upgrades and team bonuses.

Cost: 100 Gold

The War Elephant is the unique unit of the Persians in Age of Empires II. It is a slow yet very powerful and resilient cavalry unit with an attack bonus against buildings. War Elephants deal trample damage.

War Elephants can be upgraded to Elite War Elephants in the Imperial Age.

Cost: 170 Food, 85 Gold
