Player-character details

source

 Alignment. Lynels are murderously aggressive towards almost everything, and are ferociously independent of anything that would restrict their will or their freedom. As a whole, they have a strong tendency towards chaotic evil.
 Age. Lynels reach maturity quickly, and are considered adults by 10 years at the latest, though they may continue physically growing for decades after this. Although it is very common for lynels to live short and violent lives, the oldest among them can live to an age of 300.
 Diet. Lynels are omnivorous, but greatly favor meat and will usually only eat fruit or other flora when on the verge of starvation. As a Large giant, each day you must consume 2 pounds of food and 4 gallons of water to avoid starvation.

Player-character traits

 Ability Score Increase. Choose either Strength or Constitution. Your chosen score increases by 2, while the other increases by 1.
 Size. A typical Lynel is about 10 feet tall and weighs in the neighborhood of 1800 pounds. Your size is Large. You function a little differently than a Medium or Small creature would. See Large player-characters. Despite your immensity, you still use Medium weapons due to the size of your upper body.

 Hybrid Nature. You have two creature types: giant and humanoid. You are affected by a game effect if works on either of your creature types.
 Natural Armor. Your AC is than 14 + your Dexterity modifier, unless you have another AC which exceeds this. A shield can add to this AC.
 Large Target. Your Armor Class is always reduced by 1, even when using your natural armor.
 Menacing. The mere sight of lynel instills fear in most. You have proficiency in the Intimidation skill.
 Cantrip. Most lynels can wield basic magic innately. You know one cantirp of your choice from fire bolt, power beam, or wizzward. Charisma is your casting ability for this spell.
 Languages. All lynels speak Blin. A minority, including all lynel player-characters, speak Hylian as a second language.
