Anti-magic fields and the magical natures of some creatures bring a question to my mind: Are there any creatures in Pathfinder that absolutely can't exist inside an anti-magic field (whether because they only exist "because magic" or need magic to live/be animate)?
What if they were a PC race?
Tl;dr: What if there was a racial trait called "Can't enter anit-magic field"?

What LordKailas said (and accurately recalls) plus:
I think you'd have to decide what happens when a PC or creature with such a trait is involuntarily place within such as area. Does Dead Magic have any effect on them i.e. count as an anti-magical region? Are they able to see or detect such an area or could they unintentionally enter?
'Absolutely can't' is somewhat akin to humans trying to enter an area utterly harmful to them such as swimming in lava, flying through outer space/the void or entering the Negative Material plane. Without magic to prevent it death will follow fairly rapidly if they are unable to remove or otherwise protect themselves. But obviously 'can't' doesn't quite apply either ... it'll just become immediately harmful/fatal to them if they do so and unless suicidal they won't voluntarily attempt to do so.
PS: footnote to the Summoned creature point above. If the creature is Summoned it will wink out upon entering or if there already can make an SR check. Creature such as Undead, Elementals or Outsiders are only effected if they are summoned but nothing prevents a Fire Elemental from existing there if they were not Summoned (popped out through a nearby portal and walked into the area, for instance)
