The Creche Koalabird is always staring into mirrors, which leads to its reputation for vanity. But our zoologists have discovered another reason for its behavior: It is watching for space ghosts.

Each square in the Vampire, Ghost, and Zombie grids will be filled with either a letter or a diagonal mirror that's reflective on both sides. Place these letters and mirrors such that the answers to each clue or string of clues will follow a path that starts at the appropriate white letter on a black background, travels straight into the grid, bounces off each mirror it encounters (making a 90 degree turn in the proper direction), and eventually exits at the corresponding black letter on a gray background. Each square, whether it contains a letter or a mirror, will be used exactly twice.

Frankenstein

To fill the Frankenstein grid:

• Transcribe the mirrors from the other grids into this grid.
• Every square that does not have a mirror will contain a Vampire, Ghost, or Zombie.
• There are an equal number of each type of monster.
• Each number around the edge of the grid indicates how many monsters can be seen by someone standing in that spot and looking straight into the grid, taking into account reflections. (The same monster seen twice due to reflections is counted twice.)
  • True to legend, Vampires cannot be seen in mirrors, and can only be seen head-on.
  • Ghosts cannot be seen head-on, and can only be seen in mirrors.
  • Zombies can always be seen.
• The three shaded spaces contain the same type of monster.
• No two monsters of the same type are orthogonally adjacent.
• Once all the mirrors have been placed, the grid will contain two infinite loops (paths that neither enter nor exit the grid, but bounce around endlessly between mirrors). One contains two Vampires; the other contains a Vampire, a Ghost, and two Zombies.
