Guild Wars 2

I’m not sure if this has been reported before, but the Champion Giant that assaults the town of Nageling in Diessa Plateau is unaffected by petrification dealt by Basilisk Venom. When connecting the venom, the negative condition icon under the health bar appears, same goes for the petrification visual effect, yet the giant keeps moving as if nothing happened.

There are a couple of mobs like that. The Svanir shaman that is part of The Frozen Maw is like that too. Some mobs have a weird sort of stability that is not mentioned in their description.

Some mobs are also immune to other specific control effects or even conditions. For example, there are certain champions you will never see stacks of Torment on.

It’s unclear if this is supposed to be a deliberate immunity as part of the mob’s design, or just a weird glitch.

It’s probably due to the innate buff that Giants have that make them immune to all control skills. Adult Karka have this buff too (although strangely the Karka Queen can be petrified).
