** And in a [[Fridge Logic|cold]] aversion, Abra can still be afflicted with sleep despite being said to spend most of its day sleeping, and it's Psychic powers allowing it to function while asleep. In fact, it's one of the best ways to catch one so it doesn't teleport away. |

* The ''[[Heroes of Might and Magic]]'' series gives us the troglodyte, a blind creature of the deep. Their inability to see renders them immune to the spell blind, known to stop stronger creatures in their tracks. By removing the right creature from the fight for several turns, a single well placed casting of blind has been known to steer the course of entire battles. The thing is, troglodytes are some of the weakest units in the game—even if they were susceptible to blind, chances are no one would have actually wanted to cast it on them anyway, either due to bigger threats taking priority, or the trogs not even being worth the mana cost it would take to disable them. Whether their incompetence lies from their blindness or simply being primitive hunchbacks with spears in a world full of bigger, more vicious fish is unknown. |

* In ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'', being Zombified makes you immune to Death.

* Sergeant Johnson from ''[[Halo]]. After "liberating" a crate of plasma grenades to help save his men, he got radiation poisoning which resulted in Boren's Syndrome. This disease degraded his DNA so much that the Flood wasn't able to synch with his nervous system, giving immunity to infection. |
