Plenty of systems have something for that, often with a variety of options.
I believe 5e has a similar rule, but it seems rare for players to have actually read the rules. I don’t think D&D is especially detailed about this, but I don’t know where the book is to check. I don’t think they give DCs, where I wouldn’t be surprised if Pathfinder 2e had a simple “target number is 8 + the creature’s HD” formula with guidance on what to do for the range of possible outcomes.
yeah in pf2 it’s a level based DC, and if it’s an uncommon, rare, or unique creature that will increase the DC
also the skill to use for recall knowledge depends on the creature’s trait:
humanoid > society;
animal > nature;
dragon > arcana;
abberation > occultism;
etc
though the GM can rule that you can use something else if they choose.

Iirc it’s a level DC based off of the monsters level
