Reading this question: Is there a distinction between magical damage and nonmagical damage?



I was wondering if there is a monster that is resistant or immune to non-magical damage other than the common bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage. For example, this monster might resist fire damage only coming from a non-magical source, so using a torch might not be as effective as hurling a fire bolt at it.



Is there an example of such a creature?



Any damage resistance or immunity will do. If there is precedent or lore from an earlier edition that a creature has such a resistance/immunity, I would also welcome that information.

    So, you are only looking for creatures that are only resistant or immune to a damage type from nonmagical sources? As in a creature resistant to all fire damage (magical and nonmagical) is not of interest? Correct?

    @Rubiksmoose correct. This is more like "werewolf, but instead of bludgeoning, piercing, slashing, it resists nonmagical fire" or other damage type

There don't appear to be any official examples of this



You can filter a search on D&D Beyond for types of resistances and while you can filter for many very specific combinations of resistances, "nonmagical [damage type that is not BPS]" is not among them. Examples of some of the very specific resistance combinations:



enter image description here



The only options for resistances for other damage types appear to be a blanket resistance that covers all sources of that type of damage not just nonmagical sources.



For example the air elemental has




Damage Resistances Lightning, Thunder; Bludgeoning, Piercing, and Slashing from Nonmagical Attacks




emphasis mine



This means that air elemental has resistance to lighting and thunder damage regardless of if the source is magical or not.



All the above applies equally to immunities as it is exactly the same case with them.



While the D&D Beyond search is not necessarily perfect (those these filter options do appear to be all-inclusive in my shakedown) and it is impossible to prove a negative, this backs up my experience. I have seen many many monster stat blocks and I have never seen an example like you are looking for.
