** During one of her earlier appearance, Miko Miyazaki refuses to attack a band of ogres in their sleep, but instead wakes them and allows them to surround her... and then orders Vaarsuvius and Durkon to target her with their fire and lightning spells. As a former Monk, she has the Evasion ability and can easily pass a Reflex save to minimize her injuries, while all the ogres take full damage.

* ''Series/{{Tracker}}'': One episode has an assassin who exposed himself to a deadly virus which can kill by touch but doesn't harm him as long as he kills often enough. Except in human form, where it turns into a MateOrDie thing.

** Generation 3 introduced the weather effects Sandstorm and Hail, which will cause all Pokemon on the field to take gradual damage for a period of time. This damage is negated if the Pokemon is an Ice type (for Hail) or a Ground, Rock, or Steel type (for Sandstorm), with Rock types actually having their Special Defense stat increased by 50% during a Sandstorm.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'', Robot Santa and his reindeer are highly resilent and immune to explosions. In his first appearance, he intends to murder the Planet Express crew by simply having Rudolph detonate his red nose, taking out ''everyone'' in the room in a massive blast, knowing it will simply hurl him and his reindeer skyward [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Team Rocket style]].

* Similarly, this is what makes diatomaceous earth such an effective killer of ''many'' kinds of bugs, and yet so harmless to humans we use it as both medicine and a food additive. It's a fine powder that sticks to the bodies of anything that touches it, but humans are completely immune to its moisture-absorbing properties. Bugs who touch it, on the other hand, have the moisture sucked right out of them and die of dehydration within hours to days. Humans can practically ''bathe'' in the stuff no worse for wear, while any bug that dares enter a living space treated with it has effectively chosen death, making it a handy and safe alternative to actual poisons that harm humans and bugs alike.


Added DiffLines:

* The "Mosquito" anti-loitering device relies on the fact that, as people get older, their range of sound narrows and they can no longer hear high-pitched noises. The idea is to place it in areas where young delinquents may congregate, and it deters them by simply making a loud high-pitched whine that is ''incredibly'' annoying to them but can't be heard by anyone over 25. Naturally, it's pretty controversial.

** Having a much higher Will stat than your average monster, Anthony is better able to resist the effects of Tiny's [[MakeMeWannaShout stunning scream]]. Several times, he has Tiny scream into a melee that includes him, knowing that he'll recover better than the monsters all around.

* ''Fanfic/HarryIsADragonAndThatsOK'': Dragons are highly magic-resistant, so when Harry grapples with a troll, he calls out to everyone around him to keep casting spells at the melee.

'''Elora:''' But we'll hit you!\\
'''Hermione:''' He's a dragon! ''Flipendo!''

* ''Series/GameOfThrones'': In "[[Recap/GameOfThronesS6E4BookOfTheStranger Book of the Stranger]]", Daenerys Targaryen is in a hut with the Dothraki Khals while they discuss what to do with the rebellious khaleesi, considering gang-rape as an option. Unknown to them, the floor was treated with a flammable coating, the doors were barred shut from outside, and the guards outside were assassinated. Dany casually knocked over the braziers after delivering a scathing TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to the khals, eventually engulfing all the hut in an inferno. Dany is immune to fire. She walks out of the inferno naked, and the ''entire Dothraki people'' gathered around fall to their knees in reverent awe.

** [[Series/{{Smallville}} Clark Kent]] fights [[Franchise/{{Halloween}} Michael Myers]] and starts losing because Clark is WeakToMagic and the Curse of Thorn makes Michael and any weapon he uses supernatural. Martha Kent opens fire with a gun even though she is a lousy shot. She hits Clark a few times, but she knows Clark is ImmuneToBullets and what few bullets hit Michael stun him.
** In a rematch, Michael shatters a skylight and lets the glass rain down on him and Clark. The now supernatural glass cuts them both and Clark screams in pain, but Michael has FeelNoPain and a HealingFactor.
