Deku Nuts are odd in that they erupt into a blinding flash on impact with a surface. They were famously used by the [[Sheikah]] to quickly leave an area unseen--one would literally vanish after throwing one. This technique was later used by [[Sheik]]. However, most of the time the only effect of a thrown Deku Nut is that it stuns anything around the flash, giving them a fading blue hue until the paralyzing effect wears off. Oddly enough, powerful figures such as [[Ganon]] may be injured by Deku Nuts, along with very weak creatures such as [[Shabom]]. | ||
When used by [[Deku Scrub | When used by [[Deku Scrub]s however, the matter changes completely. Deku Scrubs have mastered ways to make Deku Nuts injure things on impact; something nobody else is known to have done. Deku Scrubs are infamous for their usage of Deku Nuts as weapons; when approached, a Deku Scrub will relentlessly fire Deku Nuts from its nozzle-like snout, in an act very much like firing a gun (for [[Mad Scrub]]s it is more like a machine gun). Also, when flying, a Deku Scrub may drop a Deku Nut like an airplane dropping a bomb. | ||

For example, the [[Deku King]]'s scepter has a Deku Nut fixed in at the top, as a sign of power and wealth. Storekeepers very willingly will sell Deku Nuts for profit--15 Deku Nuts for 30 [[Rupees]] usually fits their needs. | ||
