Characteristics[]

123 (127) White-Maned Lynel
BotW Hyrule Compendium White-Maned Lynel
Description
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.

White-Maned Lynels are the white and black-colored variant of Lynels. They have been in Hyrule since ancient times and only a few amount of witnesses of this breed survive to tell the tale.[2][3] Like other Lynels, it will often refrain from attacking for a short period of time after spotting Link, instead opting to stare down its opponent. However, they start their battle by roaring out loudly and slamming its Weapon down to causing a fiery explosion around itself. Being a higher tier variant from the Blue-Maned Lynels, it is known to carry a stronger set of "Savage" Lynel gear, such as a Savage Lynel Sword, Savage Lynel Shield, Savage Lynel Bow, Savage Lynel Spear, and a Savage Lynel Crusher. A few White-Maned Lynels, alongside some Bokoblins and Blue Bokoblins, are seen lying defeated by Link in A Premonition Memory.

In Master Mode, they carry "Mighty" Lynel gear. One also appears on the Great Plateau carrying a Savage Lynel Crusher and Savage Lynel Bow.

Tears of the Kingdom[]

White-Maned Lynels reappear in Tears of the Kingdom, acting the same as in Breath of the Wild, but can also attack Link with their new horns. One is summoned alongside a Blue-Maned Lynel, a Silver Lynel, and some Bokoblins and Moblins by Ganondorf after he becomes the Demon King.
