Designate this as a generic sheet for a given type of monster

It is very handy to have a way to represent the many monsters PCs fight in D&D, but these monsters are not necessarily real characters. More, they are often reused over and over again. This tag makes it clear that the given npc is more of a template than an individual creature with goals and motives.

The value of this tag should be the “creature type” as listed in the monster manual, or other original source.
