Arkham Horror
Does a monster that spawns into an investigator's space engage that investigator right away?
The rulebook's Monster States and Elusive sections settle it, and replies agree.

Yes, for an ordinary ready monster. Monsters spawn ready, and a ready monster in the same space as an investigator engages that investigator. The exception is an Elusive monster, which does not engage unless another effect causes it.
