How do i add custom monsters?

[Eldora]

I know how to use a sprite editor and all,
but how do i actually expand the .spr file with more graphics and make the new monster .xml file realize which looktype it should be using?

Version 7.72

If I'm not wrong OB can open those ones, before following the full tutorial so you don't loss your time, download Object Builder (The official one, not the 10.9x mod) and try to open your .spr and .dat
If you can open and save them correctly, then follow the tutorial
