What are the different monster attributes?

Question

When I look at a monster it has several attributes listed with it. I understand the "early starter", "late starter" ones, but there are others that don't really seem to be defined anywhere. Things like "Meleeproof" or "Noisy". What do these attributes mean, and is there a way to view the definitions in game? Does a monster's type determine its attributes, or can they change?
