A monster is engaged with one investigator when it sits beside that investigator's sheet. An engaged monster is neither ready nor exhausted. While engaged you can perform only the attack, evade and focus actions and you get no encounter in the encounter phase, and the engaged monster attacks you in the Monster Attack step. Being engaged is not the same as being attacked.
