Monaĥo

Weak of body but strong in spirit. In tune with the mysteries of the world and empathetic to its creatures, your journey will be a significantly more peaceful one.

The Monk serves as Rain World's easy mode. They are physically weaker than Pluvivanto, but predators are less frequent and less aggressive, making the world comparatively easier to traverse.
