% SIZE can be 1 : single square monster (hero, dark elf, etc.)
% 2 : two square monster (hellhound, etc.)
% 4 : four square monster (giant, etc.)
% 6 : size square monster (dragon, etc.)
%
% IMAGE_FILENAME is the image filename without extension.
% The image file can be PNG, JPG, etc. and should be inside
% the img subdirectory.
%
% NAME is the name written of the bottom of the token.
% Despite the use of a condensed font, you can use one or several \smaller{}
% command to fit inside the square. Make some tests.
