'space creature at ramshackle dwelling' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'x-men get entangled' is the wordplay.
'x' becomes 'ten' (X is the Roman numeral for ten).
'get' is an insertion indicator.
'entangled' becomes 'et' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'men' placed inside 'et' is 'ement'.
'ten'+'ement'='TENEMENT'

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
