I can't find anything in the description of the stun ability that restricts its use to certain types of creatures. But it does not seem right that a human monk, for example, can stun a gargantuan creature, or a creature with multiple heads, etc... Is there a rule concerning this that I have missed?

That Gargantuan creature should have a lot of hit dice, and anything that gets that big should have a good Fort save, so don't expect a monk to stun it very often, unless they use Ability Focus/are near epic/+20 Wis/etc.

A creature is immune to stun if its type is immune (constructs, undead, elementals, oozes, and plants) or if the specific creature lists that immunity (none jump out at me except Warforged, but they are mostly contructs anyway).

anatomy is pretty similar even in abberrations...the brain is still in the head for example...stunning is less complicated if you just make it blanket...
