Bio Deku Baba... Just calm down and aim carefully! And don't blame me if one hit doesn't get rid of it!

Drops
When the Bio Deku Baba is defeated, one of 16 slots is picked at random, so each slot is a 6.25% chance.
| Drop | Chance |
|---|---|
| Deku Nut | 12.5% |
 10 Arrows | 18.75% |
| Deku Stick | 12.5% |
 Recovery Heart | 12.5% |
| What Link is short of | 6.25% |
| Nothing | 37.5% |
What Link is short of decides, checked in this order: a Fairy at 1 heart or less, Recovery Heart ×3 at 3 hearts or less, Recovery Heart ×1 at 5 hearts or less, a Magic Jar (large) with magic below half, 30 Arrows with fewer than 6 arrows, Bomb (5) with fewer than 6 bombs, and a Red Rupee with fewer than 11 Rupees. Otherwise nothing.
Arrows need the Hero's Bow and bombs need a Bomb Bag; magic needs the magic meter. Without them that slot drops nothing. A Recovery Heart at full health becomes a Green Rupee.
Where to find it
Official guide
A new species of Deku Baba that evolved to live in water. Attack it and cut its stem, and it drops into the water and starts moving like an animal.
Bio Deku Babas are scary! When you encounter them hanging from their pads, aim for their bodies instead of the stem holding them to the pad. If that fails, or if you encounter them already on the water's bottom, be prepared for a nightmare battle. Use Zora Link's Boomerang Attack for best results.
