Monster creation/advancement (with the exception of a few variants and templates) is in the DMG, I'm afraid.
That said, I've had really good luck re-skinning for my campaign. I haven't yet found anything I want to include that I can't create with some cosmetic changes and swapping out a few powers.

Yeah, I have no problem so far with what we have, the thing is I want to essentially create slivers as a monster and there isn't any monster I know of that can be reskinned and produce the same effects. I guess I'll just eyeball it and create them however best I can. In reality I just want to know how the hell hit HD work when creating a monster. I can't seem to find any pattern to it, I'm assuming they went with a 4e design philosophy where each monster falls into some sort of category like Brute, Leader, Caster etc etc

I'm shaky on any sort of pattern, too. But I'm hoping when I finally see it in the DMG, it'll be something I can look at and go "Duh! Of course!" rather than something that requires a graphing calculator and a degree from MIT.
