Majora's Mask explored a different side of this species, as there was a functioning society composed entirely of Deku Scrubs. They were situated in the swamp of Termina and had a monarchy. Their royal family was composed of a King and a Princess, which were served by guards, yes-men, and a butler whose son had mysteriously disappeared prior to the game. Skull Kid also turned Link to a Deku Scrub. When he was healed, he received the Deku Mask.
Four Swords Adventures featured a group of friendly Hyrulean Deku Scrubs. These Deku Scrubs served Ganon, because he promised to increase the size of the woods. This would allow the Deku Scrubs to travel/live all over Hyrule, because they need shadow. As such, they thought of Ganon as a good-guy and did not attack Link.
Deku Status
In Majora's Mask, we learn much about Dekus and how they work and/or function. In some games, Deku Scrubs refer to child Dekus, while an adult is simply called a Deku. Most Dekus speak Hylian (although this depends on where one lives), and they can be very kind at times, but if an unknown stranger ever goes near a Deku it will attack, and walking close to them makes them sink into a Deku Flower.
Deku Flowers are like shells to turtles; some Dekus get very personal with theirs, and if other Dekus try to enter with out permission they are usually enraged. While some Dekus use propeller-like flowers to glide, some have parts on their heads which can lift them off too. Dekus also have different methods of handling problems, as written below.
- Dekus can deal with water, but if they happen to venture in deep areas they will hop on the water to survive drowning; like plants, too much water can hurt them.
- Dekus are also flammable, if they get too close to an open flame, their wooden skin could make the fire travel faster than a human which makes them burn much worse than a Zora.
