Deku Royal Family



The Royalty of Dekus appear in the game Majora's Mask. These are the Dekus who make up the Royalty:

Deku King
The Deku King is the rash, overreactive, and overprotective monarch of the Southern Swamp in Termina. He actually kidnapped a poor, defenseless monkey believing that he kidnapped the Princess. After Link saves her, she greets her father by trampling him. He realized his mistake and set the monkey prisoner free. He has a giant crown of Deku Leaves and a dried-up Deku Nut for a scepter.

Deku Princess
The Deku Princess is the heir to the Termanian Deku throne. Upon seeing the swamp filling with poison water she headed over to Woodfall Temple with her friend, the monkey. She was captured by Odolwa and put into a room in the entrance of the temple for the monster's dinner. Link slayed the masked warrior and slashed open the room. She angers easily as seen when she tramples her father.

Deku Butler
The Deku Butler is a delightful fellow who does exactly what Dampe the gravekeeper did when he was dead in Oot. He challenges Link to a race in Majora's Mask. If he wins, the reward is the Mask of Scents. He is a sad fellow, as he says he has lost his son. His son is believed to be the soul of the Deku Mask, that you receive at the beginning of the game.

Deku Scrubs
Deku Scrubs finish out the Deku race and are basically the lowest on the chain of Dekus. They do the bidding of the King, including guarding the Deku Palace from intruders.

=Fate= The owl near Woodfall speaks of horror and terror destined to befall the Dekus, and says that the Deku were doomed to begin with. He also mentions that this was so ever since their diety (much like how the Zoras have Jabu-Jabu) went missing. The only hint towards who their diety could be is the manga for Majora's Mask, which states that Odolwa is their diety. Although the manga usually twists the stories, it is possible that this is correct, and that Majora created a clone of the god. Odolwa may then have captured the princess as revenge for some unknown act.
