Deku Baba
Deku Baba are dangerous purple flowers that grow in the forests of Hyrule. They can often be found in valleys, crevasses, and other places where foe – and prey – are forced to walk into range of their biting heads.
Deku Baba Lore
Novice (DC 7)
Deku Baba grow in swamps and misty forests. They strike at anything that moves – so it’s not uncommon for travelers to throw a rock or shoot an arrow down a wooded path, just to see if any flowers try to lunge at it.
Journeyman (DC 10)
Deku Sticks cut from Deku Baba stalks are sometimes used by wilderness guides to build makeshift abodes. They help rid the forest of a pesky blight, and they don’t have to harm any trees to build their shelter.
Adept (DC 13)
Some believe that Deku Baba were once normal flowers, cursed by spirits who died in the Lost Woods. Others simply wave this off as an old wives’ tale, and say they are simply malicious weeds.
