How do I Photon Instantiate a scene object randomly from a list of objects?

Hello world!

I have this script that works with instantiating a scene object in photon during a match after the timer. However I would like it to instantiate a random object from a list of objects after the timer. Not just the same object every time. I want to have options for it to pick from after the timer ends. I know to add [] after the monsterenity prefabs but I don't know how to call it in the PhotonNetwork.InstantiateSceneObject. Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks. Here is the script.

using System.Collections;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using UnityEngine;

using Photon.Realtime;

public class MonsterSpawnArea : SpawnArea { public float interval;

 public MonsterEntity monsterPrefab;

 [Range(1, 100)]

 public int amount;

 private bool SpawnComplete = false;

 public void Update()
 {
     if (interval > 0)
     {
         interval -= Time.deltaTime;
     }
     else
     {
         if(SpawnComplete == false)
         {
             SpawnMonsters();
             SpawnComplete = true;
         }
     }
   
 }

 public void SpawnMonsters()
 {
     if (interval <= 0)
     {
         for (int i = 0; i < amount; ++i)
         {
             PhotonNetwork.InstantiateSceneObject(monsterPrefab.name, GetSpawnPosition(), Quaternion.identity, 0, new object[0]);
         }
     }      
 }

}

just a wild guess:

make your moster prefabs an array as you said in your post, then change your instantiation call to monsterPrefab[Random.Range(0,monsterPrefab.Length)].name
