Deku Baba: Difference between revisions

As in other Zelda games, their strategy for attack is based on surprise. When Link approaches a Deku Baba, they reveal themselves and lunge out with a fierce bite. The most effective way of defense against a Deku Baba is to block, by using Link's shield, or by simply backing away. A long range attack will also stun them, turning their body stick straight.  

If the Deku Baba attacks you as it lunges out, they will trap you in their mouth and continue to deal small damage until they release you. If they are stunned prior to detection, they will stand stick straight. However, if left unharmed, they will start to rotate in a circular motion as they un-stun themselves. This movement can also hurt Link if he stands too close without attacking.  

A Big Deku Baba is a larger variation of the original Deku Baba. While it is a bit stronger than a standard Deku Baba, it has the same primary attacks. Big Deku Baba are found in the [[Kokiri Forest]] and the [[Forest Temple]] when Link is an adult.

Withered Deku Baba's are weaker versions of the original Deku Baba. These fellows will not even attack Link and the only way to get hurt is if Link walks directly into them. A single sword slash will defeat them and they will always leave behind a [[Deku Stick]] as a reward. Withered Deku Baba can be found within the [[Kokiri Forest]] and [[Inside The Deku Tree]]. This variation of a Deku Baba can also be found within ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''.

The Deku Baba is a species of carnivorous plant famous for their short temper, feisty attitude, and their production of Deku Sticks and Deku Nuts upon defeat. A Deku Nut is the bud of the Baba, while a Deku Stick is the stalk. Deku Babas thrive in forested areas where other Deku species, such as Deku Scrubs and Deku Trees, usually preside. As such, the best place to find one is in the Swamp at woodfall. Deku Babas rarely exist alone, and it is very common to find a thriving patch of them in heavily forested areas.

Bio Deku Baba's are alternate forms of a Deku Baba, hanging upside from the ceiling or underneath lilypads. Bio Deku Baba's can be found in [[Termina Field]], [[Great Bay Temple]], and [[Stone Tower Temple]]. Link can split them from the cieling or their lilypads and they'll drop to the ground where they will continue to walk around. If Link tries to land on top of the lilypad where a Bio Deku Baba is found, it will flip around and harm him.

Mini Baba are tiny variations of a Deku Baba that completely lack stems. Thus, these creatures won't reach out and harm Link and can only hurt Link if he walks right into them. They are found exclusively within [[Southern Swamp]] and within underground caverns of [[Termina Field]].

Deku Baba's did not make an appearance in [[The_Legend_of_Zelda:_The_Wind_Waker|The Wind Waker]]. However, a very similar enemy known as a [[Boko Baba]] did and it shared many of the same characteristics.

Boko Babas are carnivorous plant enemies that live in the Forest, much like Deku Babas. They have many similar physical features and attributes as Deku Baba and it is possible that the Boko Baba are just evolved forms of Deku Baba.

In Twilight Princess there are three variations of Deku Babas. The common one's will come out of a tiny patch of grass and attempt to attack Link when if gets too close. These can be taken out easily by being stunned with a projectile weapon (Arrows, boomerang, slingshot, etc.) then being slashed by Link's sword. The second type of Deku Baba is known as a Baba Serpent, which have 2 stages before death. First Link must cut their stem, then they'll slither along the ground, chomping their teeth and occasionally will lunge towards Link. Link must then attack them, or they will grab a hold of Link. The only way to get out of their grip is to perform a spin attack. Baba Serpents can also be found hanging from the ceiling. Again, using projectile weapons to stun them can be very helpful. The last type of Deku Baba is known as a Big Baba. These varieties are defeated by first defeating a snake-like carnivorous head, then throwing a bomb into the open flower part that the head grew from. The plant will then proceed to ingest the bomb, and explode. The Big Baba is fought twice, once in the Forest Temple, and once in the City of the Sky.
