 Source See Lynel (5e Creature). This is a red lynel with the golden monster template applied to it. Much like an orange lynel, it chooses to wield a pair of longswords as its primary weapons. Like all golden monsters, golden lynels are exceptionally rare. This variety has to date only been spotted in Holodrum, though an even more fearsome variety is rumored to exist in Hyrule. |
