An animated flower-like plant with simple intelligence, the deku baba is common in forested areas far from civilization. Because it is a mostly mundane plant, the baba is rooted to the ground, and cannot willingly separate from where it grows. It normally exists as what appears to be a mere weed, but when it detects potential prey with its tremorsense, it lunges out like a snake, snapping its jaw-like petals to capture food. The baba normally feasts on insects and small animals, but has been known to attempt larger prey when food has been scarce or it is influenced by evil magic.
Boko Baba. A more colorful variant known as a "boko baba" is known to grow on beaches or small isles, but can be represented with these statistics.
Environment: Forest, Grassland
