Lynel
Lynel are powerful, territorial centaur-lion warriors. Intelligent and skilled, a Lynel can be a powerful foe – or rarely, a potent ally.
Because Lynel are skilled crafters and warriors, any given Lynel’s equipment and skills can easily vary – the Lynel statblock presented here is just one possible example.
Lynel Lore
Adept (DC 13)
Lynel are dangerous and strong, but also intelligent. When a Lynel spots an interloper, it will often stop to observe them for a time before attacking. This is your chance to escape safely!
Expert (DC 16)
Lynel may be territorial loners, but they are not without heart. There are stories of a small village, protected by a lone Lynel whom they both fear and revere.
Impressive (DC 19)
Lynel have lived in Hyrule since ancient times. Some historians theorize that Lynel might be responsible for creating some of Hyrule’s ancient temples –but no evidence of Lynel working together, even in yore, has ever come to light.
Lynel’s Roar and Easy Rider When using Lynel’s Roar, remember that it pushes all targets to the edge of the attack’s radius – including anyone currently riding it. This makes it a great attack for the Lynel to use after it’s spent a turn bucking, to finally get rid of the puny rider striking its back.
