Charge. If the lynel moves at least 20 feet straight toward a Medium or smaller creature then hits it with the first melee attack it makes on the same turn, the target takes an extra 11 (2d10) damage and must succeed on a DC 22 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. Mighty Marksman. The lynel adds both Strength and Dexterity to ranged weapon attack rolls. These attacks ignore half cover and three-quarters cover. Innate Spellcasting. The lynel's innate spellcasting ability is Charisma. It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components: At will: true strike 1/day each: dispel magic, warping step (as a bonus action)
Actions Multiattack. The lynel makes three attacks using the same weapon. Savage Lynel Crusher. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 39 (5d10 + 12) bludgeoning damage. Savage Lynel Sword and Shield. Melee Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. If the lynel uses this attack, its AC increases to 22 until its next turn. Hit: 28 (5d8 + 6) slashing damage. Savage Lynel Spear. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 10 ft. or range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: 28 (5d8 + 6) piercing damage, or 33 (5d10 + 6) piercing damage if used with two hands to make a melee attack. Savage Lynel Bow with Ice Arrows. Ranged Weapon Attack: +16 to hit, range 80/320 ft., one target. Hit: 21 (5d6 + 4) piercing damage plus 7 (2d6) cold damage. Critical Hit: The target is also petrified, lasting until either the end of the lynel's next turn or until the target takes damage. Invoke Flame. (Recharge 5-6): The lynel conjures fire in one of two ways: Fire Breath: The lynel exhales fire in a 60-foot line that is 10-feet wide, three times. For each time a creature is in one of these lines it must make a DC 20 Dexterity saving throw, taking 26 (4d12) fire damage for each failed save, or half as much damage for each successful one. Fire Burst: The lynel stabs its melee weapon into the ground, and summons a huge fireball that spreads to a 30-foot radius around itself. Each creature in this radius other than the lynel must make a DC 20 Dexterity saving throw, taking 78 (12d12) fire damage for a failed save, or half as much for a successful one.

“	“These fearsome monsters have lived in Hyrule since ancient times. Their ability to breathe fire makes white-maned lynels among the toughest of the species; each one of their attacks is an invitation to the grave. There are so few eyewitness accounts of this breed because a white-maned lynel is not one to let even simple passersby escape with their lives.”
