Deku Toad
Template:Boss 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 Octoroks 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.
