If there was a monster in the list then you'd (hopefully) get an error from Python because you were mutating the monsters list while iterating over it.
Nope, that only happens for dicts. With lists, it will happily go into an infinite loop in that situation: >>> L = [1] >>> for i in L: ... L.append(i+1) ... print L ...
