[RPG] Are there creatures that are resistant/immune to falling damage

damage-resistancednd-5efallingimmunitiesmonsters

From my experience in 5th edition D&D, I've seen many creatures resist or be immune to bludgeoning damage from weapons, but never to bludgeoning damage from falling. The only instance I know is a raging barbarian player (not even sure if NPCs can rage).

Are there any creatures that are resistant/immune to falling damage (if we exclude the "Invulnerability" spell from Xanathar's Guide to Everything) ?

Best Answer

Yes, Demon Lords

In the recently released Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes, there are several extremely powerful enemies. Amongst them are the Demon Lords, creatures of near-deity level power. An example of this is the Demogorgon found on page 144. Amongst their damage immunities, demon lords have the following immunity (bold added):

bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing that is nonmagical

Note that this is in contrast to the similar resistance or immunity that other creatures have to:

bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from nonmagical attacks (MToF, p. 132, bold added)

And note that, as stated in the PHB on page 183 (bold added):

At the end of a fall, a creature takes 1d6 bludgeoning damage for every 10 feet it fell, to a maximum of 20d6.

Thus, if the Demogorgon was somehow subjected to a fall, it would take no damage, since the bludgeoning damage from a fall "is nonmagical."
