Arkham Horror
If you attack a monster but do not defeat it, does it stay engaged and attack in the Monster Phase?
An engaged monster stays engaged until evaded or exhausted, and only ready monsters use their abilities.

Yes. It stays engaged with you and attacks in the Monster Attack step. Only an evade or another effect that exhausts it, or another investigator attacking it, changes that. Its ready-side abilities do not trigger, because they apply only while the monster is ready.
