The gnyan is surrounded by an aura of uplifting courage. Each friendly creature within 30 feet of the gnyan has advantage on saving throws against being  frightened . \n'b'  Glorious Milk . A gnyan can spend 1 minute slowly drinking from a bowl of melted ice water. When it stops, the bowl is filled with a pale milk. A creature that drinks the milk regains 7 (2d6)  hit points , and its  exhaustion  level is reduced by up to two levels. After a gnyan\xe2\x80\x99s milk has restored a total of 20  hit points  or reduced a total of four  exhaustion  levels in creatures, the gnyan can\xe2\x80\x99t create milk in this way again until it finishes a long rest. \n'b'  Pounce . If the gnyan moves at least 20 feet straight toward a creature and then hits it with a Claw  attack  on the same turn, that target must succeed on a DC 13  Strength  saving throw or be forced  prone . If the target is  prone , the gnyan can make one Bite  attack  against it as a bonus action. \n'b'  Snow Camouflage . The gnyan has advantage on  Dexterity  ( Stealth ) checks made to  hide  in snowy terrain. \n'b'  Snow Strider . The gnyan can move across icy surfaces without needing to make an ability check, and  difficult terrain  composed of ice or snow doesn\xe2\x80\x99t cost it extra movement. In addition, it leaves no tracks or other traces of its passage when moving through snowy terrain. \n'b'\n'b' ACTIONS \n'b'\n'b'  Multiattack . The gnyan makes one Bite  attack  and one Claw  attack . \n'b'  Bite .  Melee Weapon Attack : +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.  Hit : 11 (2d6 + 4) piercing damage plus 3 (1d6) cold damage. \n'b'  Claw .  Melee Weapon Attack : +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.  Hit : 9 (2d4 + 4) slashing damage plus 3 (1d6) cold damage. \n'b'  Avalanche\xe2\x80\x99s Roar (Recharge 6) . The gnyan looses a terrible blasting roar of ice and snow in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 13  Dexterity  saving throw. On a failure, a creature takes 21 (6d6) cold damage and is  restrained  until the end of its next turn as frost and snow coats its limbs. On a success, a creature takes half as much damage and isn\xe2\x80\x99t  restrained . \n'b'\n'b' BONUS ACTIONS \n'b'\n'b'  Snow Step . The gnyan teleports, along with any equipment it is wearing or carrying, up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space it can see. The origin and destination spaces must contain snow. \n'b'\n'b' ABOUT \n'b' Brilliant white with a translucent turquoise mane, this icy lion bursts from snow drifts, catching its prey unaware. It leaves no pawprints as it slinks over the snowbanks. The gnyan is an icy, lion-like elemental that roams mountain peaks and secluded valleys. \n'b'  Snowy Benefactor . The gnyan detests those who would defile natural beauty and guards pilgrims to mountaintop shrines. The gnyan can create  healing  milk from snow, and it embodies fearless strength and the power of glaciers. Because bandits and would-be warlords often attempt to capture gnyans to force the elementals to create their  healing  milk, many gnyans warily follow and study travelers before approaching them. \n'b'  Mountain Steward . Folk tales speak of gnyans rescuing those lost in blizzards or striking at loggers from seemingly mundane piles of snow. Some stories tell of gnyans who raised worthy young souls who later became renowned heroes. In these stories, the gnyan nourishes and tutors these otherwise abandoned children, teaching them how to care for the weak and strike down the immoral and cruel.'
