How does a card become monstrous in MTG?
In Magic The Gathering, a card becomes monstrous through an activated ability called 'monstrosity'. When you activate this ability, usually by paying a certain amount of mana, you put a number of +1/+1 counters on the creature if it isn't already monstrous. Once a creature becomes monstrous, it can't become monstrous again, meaning you can't keep adding counters by activating the ability multiple times. It's a one-time deal that can really beef up your creature!

Actually, making a creature monstrous isn't always the best play. Sure, it gets bigger, but savvy opponents can use that moment to bounce or remove your now precious monstrous creature. Use with caution!
Short and sweet: You pay mana to activate a creature's monstrosity ability, it gets +1/+1 counters, and becomes monstrous. Can't do it twice. Monster up and win!
