Official rulings

4 rulings · in English, source Scryfall

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.

Once a creature becomes monstrous, it can't become monstrous again. If the creature is already monstrous when the monstrosity ability resolves, nothing happens.

Colossus of Akros doesn't lose defender when it's monstrous. It's just able to attack.

2013-09-15 · Wizards of the Coast

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.
