Arcadia Quest
Can the controlling player decline a monster's Payback Reaction?
The rulebook says the controlling player need not move the monster or make its attack, and forum replies agree.

Yes. The controlling player may choose not to move the monster and not to attack with it. Any attack it does make must target the hero who attacked it. A Guard Reaction, by contrast, is always carried out.
