Super-unique Monsters are a type of unique monster. The main difference between them is that the names and location of Unique Monsters are always random while Super Uniques have a fixed name and spawn in the same location in every game.
Characteristics
Super Unique monsters are somewhat harder to kill than normal uniques. Some of their base monster types are unique; some show up as normal enemies in areas later than those where the super unique is encountered, like Bonebreaker in Act 1 resembling a Burning Dead from Act 2.
All the Act Bosses are Super-uniques. Some Super-uniques are associated with quests, though most are not required to be killed to complete the quest (excluding Act Bosses).
Due to their nature, some Super Unique monsters will have complete immunity against certain spells and skills. In addition, all Freeze effects are demoted to Cold effects and all Stun and Cold effects have their durations cut in half when used against Super Uniques.

*base monsters are unique.
Super-uniques, except Act Bosses, have 1-3 special attributes that are fixed. In Nightmare and Hell Difficulty, they get 1 and 2 bonus random attributes respectively as well.
It can be a very easy fight against super-uniques by knowing their fixed attributes beforehand, and preparing for them.
