Armor Class - Monster Statistic

Monster Manual, DnD Basic Rules

A monster that wears armor or carries a shield has an armor class (AC) that takes its armor, shield, and Dexterity into account. Otherwise, a monster’s AC is based on its Dexterity modifier and natural armor, if any. If a monster has natural armor, wears armor, or carries a shield, this is noted in parentheses after its AC value.
