Magic Weapons. The lynel's weapon attacks are magical. Innate Spellcasting. The lynel can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components. Its innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 17, +9 to hit with spell attacks). At will: power beam (4d8), scorching ray 3/day: dimension door 1/day: dispel magic, lesser restoration, wall of fire
Actions Multiattack. The lynel makes three attacks using the same weapon. Mighty Lynel Crusher. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 32 (4d10 + 10) bludgeoning damage. Mighty Lynel Sword and Shield. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. If the lynel uses this attack, its AC increases to 17 until its next turn. Hit: 23 (4d8 + 5) slashing damage. Mighty Lynel Spear. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 10 ft. or range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: 23 (4d8 + 5) piercing damage, or 27 (4d10 + 5) piercing damage if used with two hands to make a melee attack. Mighty Lynel Bow with Ice Arrows. Ranged Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, range 80/320 ft., one target. Hit: 17 (4d6 + 3) piercing damage plus 3 (1d6) cold damage. A creature which takes this cold damage unreduced must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be petrified until it next takes damage or 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 18 Dexterity saving throw, taking 19 (3d12) 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 18 Dexterity saving throw, taking 58 (9d12) fire damage for a failed save, or half as much for a successful one.

“	“These fearsome monsters have lived in Hyrule since ancient times. Compared to the standard lynel, those with blue manes are much tougher and are equipped with much stronger weapons. Facing off a lynel is ill-advised, but if you must, be sure you're well prepared.”
	— Hyrule Compendium, Breath of the Wild
