If I advance, say, an ankheg from it's typical 3 HD to the listed 5-9 (Huge), is the CR (3) changed in anyway? And if it is, how is this new rating equated?

Thanks

there's a table somewher ein the back of the monsters manual, in the chaper "advancing monsters" which tells you how to apply challange rating, for advanced msnters... mainly based upon type...

It's a general thing, and should be used as a guideline however.

See http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=564873 for Monster FAQ, including a guide on advancing monsters.

An Large 3HD ankheg (CR3) advances to Huge 9HD is CR = 3 [base] +(9-3)/3 [magical beast's extra HD] +1 [Large to Huge] = 6
