Do you want it multi title for visual effect or for hit areas, such as head, arms, etc?

Well, If first you have your monster

mob
 w/e
  name = "w/e"
  icon = 'w/e'
  icon_state = "w/e it is"
  stats here
  New()
   src.overlays+= //here is where you add each overlay



obj
    w/e
        icon='w/e'//your icon
        icon_state="1" //your icon state
        pixel_y=64 //pixel_x & _y both have to do with where they are placed...each 32 is practically one up
        pixel_x=-64


the pixel_x && _y are similar to this if you want an icon to be directly above the wearers head it would be pixel_y = 32
below would be = -32 left right pixel_x = 32 , -32..I believe you get this idea

EDIT: With a lot of editing someone got to explain this basic idea before me... Well There's my explanation of it also.

        icon_state = "body"
        New()
            src.overlays += new/obj/monster_head // Add it's head!
            ..()
obj
    monster_head
        icon = 'monster.dmi'
        icon_state = "head"
        layer=MOB_LAYER+1
        pixel_y = 32 // Places it a tile above the monster's body.
