Drops
When the Mad Scrub 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.
The arrow that defeats it decides the drop, whatever the slot: a Fire Arrow gives 30 Arrows, an Ice Arrow a Recovery Heart, and a Light Arrow a Purple Rupee.
Where to find it
Official guide
A Deku Scrub that has turned violent. It fires seeds one after another. They will not hit you up close, so block with your shield as you move in, then attack.
Mad Scrubs are Deku Scrubs gone bad. They live inside the Deku Flowers and spit Deku Nuts at anyone who ventures too close. Knock them off with arrows, Deku Bubbles, or a barrage of Deku Nuts of your own.
