D&D 5E Saving throws and monsters

[Princelucianus]

Simple question: I'm reading ''The Monsters Know What They're Doing'' and I noticed the author assumes that monsters have advantage on saves when they have proficiency bonuses. I can't find it mentioned anywhere though.
Where did he get this information from (If he's correct)?

Can you provide a quote from the text?

 

[the Jester]

He might have mixed it up with Magic Resistance?

It’s definitely not correct, and in fact seems like a very strange assumption to make. Are you certain you’re interpreting that correctly?

I'm starting to doubt me myself, but on page 287 f.i., it states ''Hydras have advantage on saving throws against a variety of conditions...''
Maybe I was sleepdrunk and getting confused.

Hydras do have advantage on saving throws against a variety of conditions, due to their Multiple Heads ability: “The hydra has five heads. While it has more than one head, the hydra has advantage on saving throws against being Blinded, Charmed, Deafened, Frightened, Stunned, and knocked Unconscious.”

Until I find another example (unlikely)..........I stand corrected!
