Is there any way to make a monster that is only visible/targetable when attacking?

Yes, just replace his other animations with 1X1 empty squares.

The hard part is, you can't select them then.

In that case, can't you just replace them with a rectangle of their original size but filled entirely with the transparent pixel colour?

There are other uses for 1-pixel animations, such as filling in missing modes for unused monsters. (Flower Demon, anybody?) So this way you only have to re-use the same file as many times as necessary, it takes up very little disk space unlike a full-blown animation. With animation-based mods running upwards of 20MB, any economy is welcome.
