White-Maned Lynel

White-Maned Lynels are mini-bosses from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. They are giant Lynel variants with gray hair, gray skin striped white, and a white mane. White-Maned Lynels can be found in the Hebra Mountains and Hyrule Field regions. They wield a massive spear, a new more effective bow than the Lynel Bow and have multiple additional moves, including an attack in which it will jump into the air and smash down, creating a shockwave, and a roar that produces a sphere of flame around its general area.

There are three other variants, the eponymous red-colored skin and hair Lynels, the Blue-Maned Lynels and the stronger Silver Lynels. Found in the overworld, Lynels are equipped with various weapons and multiple kinds of elemental arrows. They are able to move very quickly, even being able to keep up with Link on horseback. To defeat them, getting up close to trigger their melee attacks is recommended, as they are much easier to dodge and do less damage then their arrows. Flurry Rush attacks are very effective as well as throwing a boulder on them that deals massive damage.
