I recall something similar to this being joked about in one of the FR novels:

Female Hero 1: "OMG, it's a demon! We're screwed!"
Male Hero: "Not really. She's just a basic Type V Marilith. She's resistant to spells, cold, fire, and electricity, but vulnerable to acid, poison, cold iron, and our magic weapons. She'll be entirely powerless if we can seize her amulet."
Female Hero 1: "Wow ... you're an expert on demons?"
Female Hero 2: "He's an expert on certain kinds of demons and monsters. Maraliths, succubi, alu-demons, erinyes, dryads, nereids, nymphs, sirines, sylphs, swanmays, harpies, mermaids, medusae, lamias, gynosphinxes, tabaxi ... I'll bet he knows a little about some types of djinn, elementals, elves, giants, vampires, and shapeshifters. I've seen the illustrations in the monster books our young scholar friend has studied."
Female Hero 1: "You must've spent a lot of time studying those books."
Male Hero: "Um ... yeah." <blushing>
