Monsters that climb with Dex

[Andrew Bay]

Is there an obvious place where the rules specify when a monster uses Dex instead of Str for climb?

I have run across a number of monsters where this swap was made but it was not noted in the skills text.

(Cat and Giant Centipede are two I recall.)

Thanks,

wouldn't hurt anything to use which ever is higher for the monsters...

Might make the DMs job easier.

This rule usually shows up for Small or smaller monsters who have Climb or Swim speeds.
