Ranged Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, range 80/320 ft., one target. Hit: 18 (4d6 + 4) piercing damage plus 3 (1d6) cold damage. A creature which takes this cold damage unreduced must succeed on a DC 14 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 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 60-foot radius around itself. Each creature in this radius must make a DC 18 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.”
