Keeping up with monks new changes this came out: http://forums.play.net/forums/GemStone%20IV/Monks/Developer's%20Corner%20-%20Monks/view/1288
"Nature" isn't an actual damage type in GemStone. The categorization for Resist Nature (620) is specifically a hard coded list to add protection against certain spells. If a monk wanted to better defend against Spike Thorn (616), they can select puncture resistance when meditating.
