The '''Deku Toad''' is the mini-boss of the [[Lakebed Temple]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]''. The Deku Toad attacks by jumping to the ceiling and trying to land on Link, and by hatching the [[Toado]] eggs on his back. Once Link defeats all of the Toados, which can be easily done with a spin attack, the Deku Toad will leap to the ceiling again, and if he misses, he will fall really hard against the floor sticking out his tongue. Link can also force him to stick out his tongue by firing a Bomb Arrow into his mouth when he opens it. Once his tongue is out, he can be damaged by slashing it with the sword. After a few hits he will go down and spit up a chest with the [[Clawshot]].  He is a giant version of the enemy [[Toadpolis]], that are similar to the [[Octorok]]s in other Zelda games.


It is unknown why it has the prefiex "Deku" in its name, considering the the Deku are a plant-like race. But it could possibly be because of its glowing eyes (a trait of all Dekus) and the plant-like growths on its head.

[[Category: Mini-Bosses]]
Deku Toad begins the fight by dropping down to the floor and shaking off several [[Toado]] eggs from its back, which can be defeated with the [[Sword]]. Deku Toad's attack pattern is to jump to the ceiling, attempt to fall down on [[Link]], and shake off more Toado eggs. If Link rolls out of the way in time to avoid being crushed, Deku Toad gets [[Critical Point|stunned momentarily]], allowing Link to strike its [[Weak Point|exposed tongue]]. Link can also throw a [[Bomb]] at its mouth whenever Deku Toad opens it. Alternatively, Link can also shoot [[Bomb Arrow]]s at its opened mouth.
 
After enough damage is dealt, Deku Toad will regurgitate a [[Treasure Chest]] containing the [[Clawshot]] before perishing.
 
==Trivia==
*Deku Toad, along with [[Ook]], are the only mini-bosses in {{TP|-}} to have their own battle music. All other mini-bosses share the same battle music, with the exception of [[Death Sword]] and [[Phantom Zant]], who share a unique battle music.
*Deku Toad may be based on the {{Wp|Surinam Toad}}, as they both carry their eggs on their back.
 
==Nomenclature==
Deku Toad's Japanese name translates to "Big Toad." The prefix "Deku" might be a mistranslation, as [[Deku]] in {{TLoZ|Series}} is often associated with plant-related characters and enemies.
