from my experience i’d say players expect that certain monsters behave a certain way,
e.g. trolls regenerate, displacer beasts teleport around and a vampire can suck your blood, rather than a bear has 16 strength 60hp and so on and players value consistency, so if a kind of monster had no fire resistance the first time they’ve encountered it they should not have it next time only because the wizzard destroyed 5 of them with a fireball.
some players read published adventures though and get irritated if a game master changes stuff, but those guys can run their own game where everything is straight from the book rather than adapted to the group.

Unless you’re fighting Borg, of course
You’ve met a bugbear. Now get ready for BORG BEAR.
Just kill me
