Can you tame a Lynel?

While it seems there are a multitude of secret mounts (non-horses of any kind) that you can mount and ride around, they are not mounts that you can register/keep, while you are able to tame/ride them.

This article talks about all the different mounts and explains based on player's accounts that unique mounts such as bears are only able to be mounted, and as soon as you get off, they will walk off too. I won't post more from there as some mounts could be potentially seen as spoilers.

Horses aren’t the only animals that can be tamed – we’ve seen a player riding an elk in one video. The taming process is the same as with horses, but there are some key differences. You can’t register wild mounts, which means they’ll be off as soon as you dismount them. They also have unique characteristics – they may be slower, but provide something else in return. We’ve seen one player mounting a bear. He said he couldn’t make the bear attack, but it did seem to scare a lot of the enemies away, so there’s that.


Update: It is impossible sadly... got him down to beaten n blodeied pulp but just alive... froze him n got ontop, another 30 rings of stamina and nope!. the reason it comes up mount is so you can jump on it's back n smack the shit out of it. Sorry guys... this bastard iv been after to have as my own for the last 2 days.
