Arkham Horror
Does an engaged monster activate, move or use its ready-side ability in the Monster Phase?
The rulebook's Engaged entry and the Monster Phase steps say only ready monsters activate.

No. Only ready monsters activate. An engaged monster is neither ready nor exhausted, so it does not move, ready, or use its ready-side text, including a Lurker's effect. It simply attacks the investigator it is engaged with in the attack step.
