Those look good. Updated with these scores.

Thoughts on regeneration amount?

How about caster level?

Spellcasting or not?

Here's how the other linnorms break down...

Corpse Tearer - As 17th-level cleric (Destruction and Evil domains)
Dread - As 18th-level sorcerer
Gray - As 17th-level cleric (Destruction and Evil domains)
Sea - none
Stygian - none
Swamp - As 17th-level druid
Flame - As 18th-level sorcerer
Frost - None

Sounds good. Modeling after the swamp linnorm's ability...

Spells: A rain linnorm can cast arcane spells as a 14th-level druid. They cannot swap out prepared spells to cast summon nature's ally spells.

Typical Druid Spells Prepared (6/6/6/5/4/3/3/2; save DC 13 + spell level): 0 -- x; 1 -- x; 2 -- x; 3 -- x; 4 -- x; 5 -- x; 6 -- x; 7 -- x.
