Each creature in that area must make a DC 20 Dexterity saving throw, taking 52 (15d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Thrusting its weapon into the ground, the lynel detonates a wave of flame that sweeps out from it. Each creature in a 20-foot circle originating from the lynel must make a DC 20 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 42 (12d6) fire damage, is pushed 10 feet away from it and knocked prone. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isn’t pushed or knocked prone.

Source See Lynel (5e Creature). With pale silver fur, a gray mane, and violet accents, the exceedingly rare silver lynel almost looks like an albino of its kind. This belies its true might. One of these creatures has been thoroughly bathed in empowering dark magic, usually the result of a direct blessing from Ganon himself. This evil aura is so overwhelming that those who draw near it begin to feel fear.

Variant: Sword and Shield

This variant of silver lynel wields a shield and longsword in lieu of a club and bow. Its AC increases to 19. It loses the Lynel Crusher and Lynel Bow actions, which are replaced with the following:

Longsword. Melee Weapon Attack +13 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 20 (3d8 + 7) slashing damage, or 23 (3d10 + 5) slashing damage if used with two hands.
