	Syntax explanation: The opening and closing brackets [ ] indicate a group of data. This group of data can have multiple groups of data wrapped in brackets inside of it and separated by a comma [[],[],[]]. The inner groups of data has variables, also separated by comma: [[1,"A"],[2,"B"]]. If a piece of data is a number you can type the number directly [1]. But if it is not a number you must wrap it in citation marks ["text"]. As far as the monsters go there is one primary group of data that can have multiple smaller groups of data. Each smaller group sets a property of the monster. To better illustrate I will use newlines:<pre>		Syntax explanation: The opening and closing brackets [ ] indicate a group of data.

	There are two ways of rezzing the monsters that you want to add. One way is to drag all the monsters from the GoThongs monster repository prim into your inventory. To do that you edit your HUD, and check "edit linked" in the build tool. Then scroll down to zoom out and edit the red prim with the monster on it. The monster inventory may take a minute to load. After that you can drag the items to your inventory and rez them from there.		'''There are two ways of rezzing the monsters that you want to add.

	The second way to rez the monsters is to use the command "spawn <name>" such as "spawn Cock Goblin 2" to spawn it in front of you. Most of the monsters with a 2 after the name are the animesh versions. And those are what you want to use.
