Improved Familiar stats don't match MM?

[0-hr]

The pseudo dragon improved familiar in the DMG does not match the stats for the critter in the Monster Manual (as far as STR, DEX, INT, etc. go). Is this an error, or am I missing something?

Str 11... riiiight.

Just use the one from the MM, the DMG is obviously wrong.

I'm fairly sure they forgot to update some of the Improved Familiar stat blocks to 3.5E. Beyond that, they also forgot to fix the 3.5E DMG familiar feats (i.e. for the difference sized familiars) that were given to the master to be in line with the 3.5E PHB.

Blech.
