Deku Scrub



Deku Scrubs are small creatures that have the ability to spit Deku Nuts at their enemies. They look as if they were made of wood, hinting that they had evolved from plants. They played a small role in OoT, in which they were both enemies and salesmen. If you defeated a salesman type Deku Scrub, known as a Business Scrub, they would try to sell you an item, always way overpriced.

Majora's Mask explored a different side of them, as there was a functioning society composed entirely of Deku Scrubs. They were situated in the swamp of Termina and had a monarchy. Their royal family was composed of a King and a Princess, which were served by guards, yes-men, and a butler whose son had mysteriously disappeared. Skull Kid also turned Link to a Deku Scrub. When he was healed, he received the Deku Mask.
