* Generic example: Many, many, many RPG-style games have enemies for whom magic is completely ineffective, and only physical attacks will work, or the inverse—physical attacks are a [[Won't Work On Me]], but magic attacks take them out fast.

* This is the schtick of the boss Red Giant from [[Final Fantasy VIII]]. He will respond with gloats and snarks each time your attacks have little to no effect on him. Tip: [[Percent Damage Attack|Gravity ]/is his [[Achilles' Heel]].

* There are certain [[Mooks]] in the Nintendo 64 ''[[Bomberman]]'' games who are invulnerable to various elemental-type bombs. The most annoying? Without a doubt, the ones impervious to Fire Bombs—the basic and most versatile bombs.

* The Power Troopers in ''[[Metroid Prime]]'' are the most difficult of the reverse-engineered space pirates for this reason. All your fancy new upgrades won't do squat to them. The Chozo Ghosts are also immune to your stronger weapons. Both are vulnerable to Super Missiles, however.

** In Zero Mission, there are these black space pirates which are only weak to your beam, which are annoying as hell to kill. All the missiles, super missiles, power bombs, screw attack? All completely useless. The two in the escape sequence can give players grief, aside from an [[AI Breaker]].

** [[Hilarious in Hindsight|Amusingly]], a Kung Fu-Proof Mook in [[Super Metroid]] is a Space Pirate that uses kung fu-like moves. It is only briefly vulnerable after it jump-kicks.

* In many ''[[Kirby]]'' games, Scarfys cannot be inhaled. If Kirby tries to inhale them, they'll go crazy and start to chase him down before exploding - they can be defeated using other projectiles or copy abilities easily.

** Mumbies and some of the larger enemies in certain games are also impossible to inhale (requiring Kirby to spit something at them or use a [[Mega Manning|Copy Ability]]) or at least take much longer to do so, though they don't get mad like Scarfys do. Interestingly, [[All Cavemen Were Neanderthals|Dogons]] in ''Kirby's Dream Land 3'' invert this; they ''can'' be inhaled, but most of the more advanced attacks don't work against them as they [[Attack Reflector|knock all projectiles back]] at Kirby.
