Mur-Zhaguls, for reference. If you use the LA set to 0 interpretation, they should be playable for a beatstick, having +14 Str, +6 Dex, +16 Con, +2 Wis, -2 Cha, large size, 3 natural attacks, +10 natural armor, and an obscure regeneration type. With only a single LA reduction, they're still basically unplayable.
Even if the LA is set to 0, you'd still be saddled with those 9 HD - which might not even stay Outsider HD, but become shitty Humanoid HD.
It's all about vision and making reality conform to your vision. By dropping a fucking house on it.

Yep, that's about the size of it.  It might have been appropriate as a LA+0 with outsider HD, but with humanoid only it's still not very good.  Playable, but not good.  I can only assume they forgot that HD and LA stacked.

Clearly it needs to go Feral and turn them into full-BAB Monstrous Humanoid HD!  :D

(Or, better yet, take Otherworldly and turn your racial HD back into Outsider HD.)

I thought otherworldly didn't affect HD?

It doesn't affect class HD (your type never does unless explicitly stated otherwise) but I see no reason it wouldn't affect racial HD unless there's an errata or FAQ ruling on it.
