Basically I'm wondering if I can get you to discuss things past pegging it as -0. And write down the results of those discussions. That way, the -0 thread only has to catch up to HERE. Instead of coming here, and having to redo every future monster too!
For example for the Susurrus. @Inevitability, thanks for remembering, but I'm not sure I agree with the assessment.
Guy is large, and has some neat abilities, mostly centered around undead.
Blindsight, neat as it is, might pose problems for a playable character, and he also strikes me as somewhat dissonant - undead-centered, but no bonus to Wis, so won't work well with cleric for example (who'd want something good to replace the lost cleric levels).
Also, I'd like argue against the interpretation that it adds to turn/rebuke pools.
That said, I'd peg him squarely as 4 RHD. IMO 5 RHD, as you suggested goes just a little bit over the top, especially considering they're the bad HD - aberration. I just don't see anything that would justify 5 entire levels.
That said, I'm open to (and aiming for) discussion.
