Official rulings
Three official rulings apply to Giggling Skitterspike, newest first.
- If Giggling Skitterspike is no longer on the battlefield when its second ability resolves, use its power as it last existed on the battlefield to determine how much damage it deals.
- 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.
