Note that each type of monster can come in two ranks: normal and elite.

Elite monsters are designated with a gold stand. When an elite monster acts, use the statistics in the “Elite” section of the monster statistic card.

The stats for elite monsters are on the right side of the monster stat sheet.

When a monster type takes an action, each monster of that type will perform the actions listed on their played ability card, starting with elites and then normal monsters in ascending standee order.

Named monsters are not affected by character abilities that target only normal or elite monsters.
