These are generally non-biological creatures that don't need food, drink, or sleep.
Undead, fiends, constructs, and true elementals make up the bulk of poison immunities. Yogoloths and oozes round out the resistances and immunities to acid. All except the shadow demon (which is still resistant) are immune to necrotic damage, and both shadow monsters are the only ones vulnerable to radiant. A few of them are immune to cold rather than resistant. Incorporeal creatures (banshees, ghosts, poltergeists, shadows, shadow demons, specters, will-o'-wisps and wraiths) also resist acid, cold, fire, lightning, and thunder (along with non-magical weapon damage). This makes sense, since they come from the chaotic plane of Limbo.
There's 6 kinds of Slaadi and they're all resistant to acid, cold, fire, lightning, and thunder.
Hell hounds and nightmares are immune to fire. Night hags are resistant to cold and fire. 4/4 yugoloths resist cold, fire, and lightning. 11/13 are resistant to cold (the last two are immune). 12/13 demons are resistant to fire (the last one is immune). 11/11 devils are immune to fire and resistant to cold (presumably so they can survive in the hot and cold layers of the Nine Hells). There's 11 devils, 13 demons and 4 yugoloths in the Monster Manual. Other than those, only Ice Mephits (cold) and Djinni (lightning, thunder) contribute immunities.įiends contribute a large amount of resistances and immunities to fire, cold, and to a lesser extent lightning. On top of that metallic dragons are good - and thus unlikely to be fought - so in practice there's only 3 monsters with lightning immunities worth considering.Īmong elementals, fire elementals contribute disproportionately to non-poison immunities: there's 9 kinds of fire elementals, and they're all immune to fire damage. So 8/10 lightning immunities are just different ages of blue and bronze dragons. That's because dragons generally come in good/evil pairs, and each dragon has 4 stat blocks (wyrmling, young, adult, ancient). The forum post referenced in András's answer gives a quick overview of the the damage types but misses many important details about how those damage types are distributed.ĭragons contribute disproportionately to immunities for acid, cold, fire, lightning.
