Hi. I'm preparing the boss for my next session (a nasty Mamono with a grudge) by upgrading it via Hit Dice. I'm upping it by 8 HD (using the Outsider chart in the MM, as Tainted creatures in my world are from another plane).

I was wondering, as monsters increase in HD, do their ability scores ever go up? Like how a player's would after four levels?

Ability Score Improvement
Treat monster Hit Dice the same as character level for determining ability score increases. This only applies to Hit Dice increases, monsters do not gain ability score increases for levels they "already reached" with their racial Hit Dice, since these adjustments are included in their basic ability scores.
