Baba Serpent

Baba Serpents are enemies from Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword. They are very similar to Deku Babas and Big Deku Babas.

Twilight Princess
When a Baba Serpent is chopped off its base, it will hop around to hunt down the offender. If they get close to Link, they'll clamp their jaws around the hero, and he must use a Spin Attack to escape. Similar to Bio Deku Babas, a Baba Serpent may be found hanging from the ceiling of an enclosure. When Link fights Ook in the Forest Temple he will toss the Gale Boomerang to sever some of them from the ceiling. The best way to get rid of multiple Baba Serpents, or even just one that has bitten Link, is to perform the Spin Attack. They have thorns on their stalks where normal Babas have nothing special, they also have orange heads with black stripes and blue and purple tongues, fangs, and seemingly a nose.

Skyward Sword
Baba Serpents make another appearance in Skyward Sword, seen hanging from ceilings in the Sky Temple. Like in Twilight Princess, the sword, bomb, and arrows are effective weapons to defeat these foes. A new effective weapon is the Beetle with the mandible upgrade, which allows it to latch onto bombs.

Trivia

 * While Twilight Princess was in development, the ability to survive after being cut from its stem was present to normal Deku Babas.
