Fleecemane Lion

Fleecemane Lion is one of the most obviously-strong two drops ever printed.  It’s not, like, broken, it’s just one of those cards that you look at and you go “oh, wow, yeah, that’s good.”  It starts as a 3/3 for 2 with no downsides, and it eventually gets bigger AND it becomes almost impossible to remove.  Non-targeted exile, sacrifice or huge -/- effects are the only things that can get rid of this big kitty once it gets powered up, and that’s super significant.

Fleecemane Lion: King of the Jungle When Monstrous

[mtgtutorials]

If you're trying to remove a monstrous fleecmane lion could you use crackling doom

Yes, effects that cause the opponent to sacrifice creatures can still remove creatures with hexproof and indestructible. 

Any other effects that don’t use the words “target” or “destroy” can also do the job, such as Angel of the Dire Hour or Terminus.

This is how to properly use fleecemane lion. 

When Luce becomes monstrous, place one cuteness counter on him. He also gains fluffiness. [Tap]: Target creature takes a cat nap.

There are cases in which an Aura would "fall off" a permanent if that permanent gained protection from a quality of the Aura or if the Aura couldn't legally be attached to it (like an Enchant Creature on permanent that ceases to be a creature). Is this the same for hexproof? Specifically, if Pacifism was enchanting a Fleecemane Lion and then the Lion gained hexproof by becoming Monstrous, would the Aura still remained attached or would it "fall off"?

No.

Auras only target when they're on the stack. Once they're enchanting something, it can gain hexproof or shroud all it likes and they won't fall off.
