An animated flower-like plant with simple intelligence, the aggressive and carnivorous quadro baba is a more highly evolved form of the more common deku baba. Unlike its weaker relative, it tends to only grow in areas with abundantly rich soil, moisture, and sunlight. Its relatively thick hide is reminiscent of tree bark, functioning as surprisingly effective armor. A quadro baba has been known to predict and evade conventional attacks, even from seasoned warrior. |
