I have a feeling I'm just not seeing the rule, but is there a level or CR where a monster claw or bite attack "counts as magic" or "is as if a magic weapon is used" for resistance and immunity purposes? Moon Druid gets to count as using magic weapon at lvl 6 iirc. I just don't see anything for this for monsters.

There is no specific CR where a monster claws or bite count as being magical. If a monster attack is magic, it is usually precised (or at least implied, if it's said they have a magic weapon or the like).

Moon Druid's attacks get to count as magic because of their training.

Read the MM.

Plenty of monsters have a 'magic weapon' rule where their weapons count as magical weapons.

There is no general CR where attacks count as magical, it is specific in each monster's stats.

Thanks. Just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing it, if such a rule was in the system. It seems not to be, except in a few spec. listed cases.
