Monster Manual II stat block missing info (probably because 3.0)

When using a creature from MMII in a 3.5 game, how do you determine (for example) its grapple modifier? Even the base attack bonus is missing!

You should be able to calculate it.

Grapple is equal to base attack + strength + special size modifier.

If the BAB isn't listed, you can calculate that based on the monsters type (https://www.d20srd.org/srd/typesSubtypes.htm) and it's number of hit dice. An animals with 8 HD for example would have 8*3/4 = 6 BAB.

Thanks! Yeah we got there eventually. I forgot that the BAB is based solely on creature type.
