[[Mad Scrub]]s are like Deku Scrubs in the way that they attack by spitting nuts at Link; however, unlike the Deku Scrubs, these guys shoot three nuts in a row. They can be defeated by either deflecting their nuts back with Link's Shield, or simply using the [[Slingshot]]. Once Link has done this, he can go ahead and slash them with his Sword.

[[Business Scrub]]s are found all over [[Hyrule]] in ''Ocarina of Time''. They attack the same way as regular Deku Scrubs, except they won't run away when Link defeats them. Instead, they'll sell Link something. The things they sell vary from [[Deku Shield]]s to upgrades to a [[Piece of Heart]].
 
===Forest Stage===
The [[Forest Stage]] is a secret underground location in ''Ocarina of Time''. It is found in a hole in the Lost Woods, in which Link wears masks to present to the Deku Scrubs, and they'll give Link certain prizes for them. Different masks give different prizes. If Link wears the [[Skull Mask]], they will love him, and crowd around him. If Link wears the [[Mask of Truth]], they will be scared of him, and burrow underground if he gets close.
