All 8 monsters as a list

Rows count from the top, columns from the left. Each line says where the next monster goes and why.

  1. row 4, column 5. The mint den has only one free spot left. Its monster moves in there.
  2. row 5, column 3. Row 8 has free spots in one den only: the red den. Its monster must go into this line, so the rest of the den is out. The blue den fits only into column 8. Whichever spot its monster takes, that line is used: cross out the rest of it. The purple den fits only into column 3. Whichever spot its monster takes, that line is used: cross out the rest of it. Column 8: a monster on a marked spot would see or touch all of its free spots. Nothing would be left there, so cross the marked spots out. The green den: a monster on a marked spot would see or touch all of its free spots. Nothing would be left there, so cross the marked spots out. The yellow den and the green den fit only into columns 1 and 2. Together they fill these lines, so every other spot there is out. Rows 6 and 7 only have spots in the orange den and the green den. Their monsters take all of them, so the other spots there are out. Row 5 has only one free spot left, so a monster goes there.
  3. row 8, column 4. Column 4 has only one free spot left, so a monster goes there.
  4. row 2, column 8. Rows 3 and 6 only have spots in columns 1 and 7. Their monsters take all of them, so the other spots there are out. Row 2 has only one free spot left, so a monster goes there.
