Rulings
- September 15, 2013 — Colossus of Akros doesn't lose defender when it's monstrous. It's just able to attack.
- September 15, 2013 — Once a creature becomes monstrous, it can't become monstrous again. If the creature is already monstrous when the monstrosity ability resolves, nothing happens.
- September 15, 2013 — Monstrous isn't an ability that a creature has. It's just something true about that creature. If the creature stops being a creature or loses its abilities, it will continue to be monstrous.
- September 15, 2013 — An ability that triggers when a creature becomes monstrous won't trigger if that creature isn't on the battlefield when its monstrosity ability resolves.
