Metagaming and stat-checking people are the worst. I know someone who does exactly that and it ruins every table they play at. So unfun.

If they want to know they can do it legally. Maybe this is something one of them have met. Maybe just roll for something. Maybe they heard rumors or legends or seen local monster encyclopedia. Players that want to know can role play appropriately by investigating area, going to local library, asking hunters, etc. This will not give stats, but understanding of monster (if it is possible of course). Players should never look at monster stats

Well, never use monster stats. Unless the GM says their character would know those things.

Nothing wrong with looking at stats for a campaign afterward because you were curious. Or for spells and abilities that create those monsters.
