Aura of Terror. Any creature that starts its turn within 10 feet of the lynel must make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw, or become frightened of it for 1 minute. If a creature has succeeded on this saving throw once within the past 8 hours, it automatically succeeds. Improved Initiative. The lynel has advantage on any ability check it makes to determine turn order in combat. 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 Legendary Resistance (3/day). If the lynel fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead. Powerful Attacks. A weapon attack deals one extra die of its damage when the lynel hits with it (included in the attack), and these weapon attacks are magical.
Actions Multiattack. The lynel makes four melee weapon attacks, or three ranged weapon attacks. It can replace two of these attacks with a spell or its Invoke Flame. Savage Lynel Crusher. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 51 (6d10 + 18) bludgeoning damage. Savage Lynel Sword and Shield. Melee Weapon Attack: +18 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. If the lynel uses this attack, its AC increases to 23 until its next turn. Hit: 37 (6d8 + 10) slashing damage. Savage Lynel Spear. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +18 to hit, reach 10 ft. or range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: 37 (6d8 + 10) piercing damage, or 43 (6d10 + 10) piercing damage if used with two hands to make a melee attack. Savage Lynel Bow with Shock Arrows. Ranged Weapon Attack: +16 to hit, range 80/320 ft., one target. Hit: 29 (6d6 + 8) piercing damage plus 3 (1d6) lightning damage. A creature which takes this lightning damage unreduced must succeed on a DC 15 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 22 Dexterity saving throw, taking 39 (6d12) 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 22 Dexterity saving throw, taking 117 (18d12) fire damage for a failed save, or half as much for a successful one.

“	“With brutal strength and extreme resilience, this type of lynel somehow surpasses silver lynels in sheer power. It is said they are actually silver lynels who mysteriously transformed after being struck by lightning. If you see one, get away as fast as you can.”
