Lynel
Lynels are large lion-like centaurs that typically live in the mountainous regions of Eldin, but can be found in smaller communities in other mountain ranges around Hyrule.
Lynels appear in five different variations, including the standard red-maned Lynels, Blue-Maned Lynels, White-Maned Lynels, Silver Lynels, and the much more hardy Golden Lynels.
After spotting an adventurer, a Lynel will often refrain from attacking for a short period of time and instead stare them down. This allows adventurers to escape before it initiates a battle. Depending on their location, Lynels can wield a Sword and Shield combo, a Spear, or a Crusher. Though Lynel Spears and Lynel Crushers are two-handed Weapons, Lynels are capable of wielding them with one hand. They also wield a Bow with a veriety of arrows that differe depending on the Lynel's location.
Lynels have a variety of attacks, both ranged and melee, such as shooting fireballs, body slamming, dashing, and trampling. Lynels also have the ability to teleport, doing so to either briefly flee from battle or to give chase after any unfortunate adventurers.
Every kind of Lynel from red to golden are completely immune to all elemental types. That includes the additional damage and the effect an element would normally inflict. It is therefore pointless to use offensives like elemental arrows and elemental melee weapons whilst fighting them.
When defeated, Lynels drop their Hooves, Horns, and Guts, along with their Weapons and a bundle of their Arrows. Silver and Golden Lynels occasionally drop Gems and Star Fragments as well.
