Penance Healers are a type of Penance creature encountered during the Barbarian Assault minigame. They will heal other Penance creatures and can only be killed with poisoned foods, or by firing the egg cannon at them. The food required to kill them changes every 30 seconds. A single poisoned food will cause a total of 54 damage over time. Therefore, Healers after Wave 5 must be killed by using more than 1 food as they have a high amount of health. Unlike other monsters, Penance Healers tick poison damage every 3 seconds.

Penance Healers, after spawning, will target any visible player. It will then chase this player until it reaches the player. It will then poison the player for 2 damage. After this, it will wander for a short duration of time. It will then target any visible Penance Runner. It will then chase the Runner and heal it to full health. It will continue to alternate between targeting players and Runners. If there are no runners, the Penance Healer will cease chasing players and Runners and wander randomly for the rest of the wave. This is because Penance Healers can only heal Penance Runners, and will not heal Penance Fighters, Penance Rangers, or other Penance Healers.

A Penance Healer statue can be found in the Barbarian Outpost. The plaque on the statue can be read, detailing the strengths and weaknesses of Penance Healers.
