With a sample size of 42 (or 32 in the battler only), the highest AC is 22 (22 for battler only). Note, however, that its HP are significantly low, at least after the "battler" filter. [B]CR 5 results (Same method as CR 10)[/B] "Battler only" excludes: Adult Arrowhawk, Basilisk, Cloaker, Very Young Copper Dragon, Gibbering Mouther, Ocre Jelly, Phase Spider, Ravid, SWhadow Mastiff, Wraith due to their small damage output (less than 50% of mean).
