Deku Baba
From Free net encyclopedia
Deku Babas are a fictional enemy that appear in the Legend of Zelda series. They are carnivorous plants, with a venus fly trap-like mouth, and sprout from the ground whenever its roots detect any potential prey. They are known to lash out at an enemy with no provocation. Sometimes, their stems can be made to fashion Deku Sticks. They also sometimes contain Deku Seeds, that are dropped when the plant is dead.
When Kokiri Forest, the breeding ground of this species, was cursed by the great evil, Ganondorf, larger species terrorized the village where the Kokiri lived. The legendary hero, Link, was able to remove this curse after destroying Phantom Ganon, an evil being orchestrated by Ganondorf, in the Forest Temple. In effect, all Deku Babas were immediately annihilated from the village.
