If the lynel fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead. Magic Weapons. The lynel's weapon attacks are magical. Innate Spellcasting.

Savage Lynel Spear. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 10 ft. or range 20/60 ft., one target.

Ranged Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, range 80/320 ft., one target. Hit: 22 (5d6 + 5) piercing damage plus 3 (1d6) lightning damage. A creature which takes this lightning damage unreduced must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or be paralyzed until the end of the lynel's next turn. 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 32 (5d12) 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 60-foot radius around itself. Each creature in this radius must make a DC 20 Dexterity saving throw, taking 97 (15d12) fire damage for a failed save, or half as much for a successful one.

“	“Silver lynels are not to be trifled with. They have been influenced by Ganon's fiendish magic, so they are the strongest among the lynel species, surpassing even the strength of those with white manes. The term "silver" denotes not only their color but also their rarity. The purple stripes help them to stand out even more.”
