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 8, column 5. The red den has only one free spot left. Its monster moves in there.
  2. row 7, column 8. The green den fits only into row 7. Whichever spot its monster takes, that line is used: cross out the rest of it. Row 7: 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 orange 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 green den has only one free spot left. Its monster moves in there.
  3. row 3, column 3. The pink den and the blue den fit only into rows 1 and 2. Together they fill these lines, so every other spot there is out. Columns 1 and 2 only have spots in the blue den and the purple den. Their monsters take all of them, so the other spots there are out. Column 3 has only one free spot left, so a monster goes there.
  4. row 6, column 6. Rows 2 and 4 only have spots in columns 1 and 7. Their monsters take all of them, so the other spots there are out. The orange den has only one free spot left. Its monster moves in there.
