DEKU
| Territory: Southern Swamp, Deku Palace, Woodfall | Leader: Deku King |
The Deku are a plant-like race that inhabits the Southern Swamp, where they have learned to thrive amidst the vegetation and water. As a non-human race, the Deku have special abilities, but are also limited in the weapons category. The Deku have recently instated a government, with the Leader being a powerful King. There are two types of Deku: Hylian Deku, which are said to be descendants of the Deku Tree of Hyrule (appear much like Link's Deku form), and the Terminian Deku (those unique to Termina, may resemble any of the Deku types, but most commonly the kind like the ones involved in the Title Deed trading). Each Deku type has a certain abilities the other does not, but they are basically the same. The territory of the Deku is all of the southern area of Termina, including the Southern Swamp, Deku Palace, and Woodfall.
The main Deku holding is the Southern Swamp, where several humans live. The Deku seem to get along with them, though their jobs always could be replaced with one of the Deku. The entrance to the swamp is flat, moist, and filled with several trees. Nearby are the Swamp Shooting Gallery, a place where many Deku practice their bow skills and have fun, as well as the Tourist Center. The Tourist Center is where skilled Pictograph makers live and sell their wares, as well as the Swamp Tour boat. A Pictograph Contest is held often and is a big event for the Deku. Deeper into the Southern Swamp the land is replaced by water, and a boat is needed to get around. Such places include the Potion Shop, where the rare Blue Potion can be made with nearby mushrooms, and even further south lies the Deku Palace.
The Deku Palace is where most of the Deku live, train, and sell their goods. The Palace is very strong against attacks, and is why many choose to live there. Also living here is a bean seller, who grows uncommon magic beans for the Deku. The King also resides here.
Woodfall is not often gone to by the Deku, as it is out of the way and filled with monsters. However, the Woodfall Cattail, the key ingredient to making the Woodfall Blade, is found here. This is also a beautiful area.
The defenses of the Deku are both good and bad. The entrance to the Southern Swamp is flat and would not be overly difficult to conquer. However, deeper in the swamp boats are needed (or one proficient in swimming), so it makes things more complicated. The Deku Palace has high walls and is almost completely surrounded by water, making it one of the best fortified castles. Though this water is helpful in making enemies have a hard time getting places, it also hurts the Deku, who can only skip across small areas of water, not swim.
The Deku Military is formed of those that use Bows and the Woodfall Blade, among others to possibly be decided later by the race. All Deku also have secondary attacks and abilities. The Deku can shoot bubbles from their mouths, which, if hits the enemy, affects their Evasiveness Score by -1. The way this is used is similar to the Deku Nuts (though there is a 1 in 2 chance it will hit). Also, Hylian Deku can do a Spin Attack, which is as effective as a non-weapon fighting ability of the human races. While Hylian Deku can hover a short distance from Deku Flowers, Terminian Deku can fly along the ground at a good speed for twice as long as the flight of the Hylian Deku. This speed is equal to that of a horse. The Deku are susceptible to Fire Arrows, being of plant origin. These arrows will make a fatal blow no matter what if a successful hit is made.
The Deku play the Deku Pipes, which have a very nice sound to them. The pipes are quite large, but popular among the Deku. Songs the Deku learn from themselves is limited to only the Sonata of Awakening, a song that quickly awakens all nearby, including sleeping Gorons. The Deku use the Mask of Scents to not only find Magic Mushrooms, but to also smell nearby enemies.
Magic Beans are popular food among the Deku, though other races are repulsed at eating them. These beans can be prepared in a variety of ways.
The Deku are limited to the Woodfall Blade, Swamp Bow, and Elemental Bow in the weapons category. With the wood of the Southern Swamp handy, they are the only race that can construct these bows (unless they are conquered).
