Boko Baba

The Boko Baba is a type of Baba in the Zelda series. They can be differentiated from other Babas thanks to their bud and their vibrant color scheme. They are usually hidden within their bud and wait for Link to get near them before attacking him by surprise. They have only appeared in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.

Behavior
The Boko Baba grows out of a bud called the Baba Bud. These Baba Buds can be used by Link to get to higher places thanks to the Deku Leaf, this gives an advantage to the Boko Baba as Link will usually approach the Baba Bud by himself only for the Boko Baba to land a successful surprise attack. Aside from that, the Boko Baba can either bite Link like most Babas do or ram into him. The Boko Baba also has an attack that most other Babas aren't able to do. It can try to eat Link if sucessful, the Boko Baba will chew Link before spating him out causing damage. To defeat them, Link must hit them two time in a row to make their stem straighten up before slashing them a third time directly at the stem, which will kill them. The Boomerang kills them instantly. Once defeated, they will leave their bud behind, which can then be used by Link. They can also leave Boko Sticks and Boko Baba Seeds behind when defeated. The seeds can also be stolen Grappling Hook.
