Which hero is an omnic monk who can heal allies?

The hero who is an omnic monk and can heal allies is Zenyatta. His full name is Tekhartha Zenyatta, and he is a Support hero in Overwatch. He belongs to the Shambali, an order of omnic monks based in the Himalayas of Nepal.

Zenyatta’s healing comes primarily from his Orb of Harmony, which attaches to a chosen ally and gradually restores their health while they remain within the ability’s rules. His ultimate, Transcendence, also makes him temporarily invulnerable and heals nearby allies rapidly. These abilities make him a distinctly support-focused character, although his Orb of Discord and Orb of Destruction give him strong offensive utility.

A common mix-up is confusing Zenyatta with other healing heroes such as Mercy or Baptiste. Zenyatta is unusual because he is a robotic omnic who floats rather than walks and uses a ring of metal orbs resembling prayer beads. His story also connects him to Genji, whom he helped accept his cybernetic body, and to Ramattra, his former fellow monk and ideological opposite.
