The term's appearances include the [[Great Deku Tree]], [[Deku Scrub]]s, [[Deku Stick]]s, [[Deku Shield]], [[Deku Nut]]s, [[Slingshot Pellets|Deku Seed]]s and [[Deku Baba]]s. The term may have been succeeded by the term "[[#Boko|Boko]]." | ||

It should be noted that in Japanese, the word ''deku'' ("デグ", ''degu'') is a made-up adjective that basically means "Big" in the ''Zelda'' series. It is often used as a prefix to the name of a boss or mini-boss version of a common enemy. Examples are: [[Bubble#King Bubble|King Bubble]], [[Armos Knight]], [[Moldorm]], [[Trinexx]], [[Digdogger]], [[Giant Ghini]], [[Hot Head]], [[Slime Eyes]], and [[Manhandla]] (in ''Four Swords''). | An odd exception is the [[Deku Toad]], which does not feature any obvious connection to plantlife.
