Twilit Parasite Diababa (覚醒寄生種 ババラント Kakusei Kiseishu Babaranto?, Awakening Parasitic Specie Babarant) is the boss of the Forest Temple, the first dungeon in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. It is a giant three-headed Deku Baba that has taken over the temple. Once defeated, Link receives the first Fused Shadow as well as the first full Heart Container.
[edit] Battle
The battle begins with Diababa having two Deku Baba heads. After Link defeats the pair by flinging Bomblings in their mouths via Gale Boomerang, Diababa's central head emerges from the pool of water in the room. At this point, Ook starts bringing Bomblings to Link, which he can use to hit Diababa by using the Gale Boomerang. After this, Diababa's head falls to the floor, exposing its eye to sword attacks. After a repetition of this process based on the damage dealt by Link's sword attacks, Diababa will be defeated.
In its death scene, it shrivels up, and its eye falls out of its socket and explodes, leaving only a Heart Container. Its body then explodes into particles of twilight, which then form the part of the Fused Shadows.

[edit] Etymology
Diababa's English name is formed from the prefix di- (meaning two) and the latter part of the Deku Babas' name. This could be referring to its initial appearance: two giant Deku Babas. It could also come from the Greek work for devil, diabolos.
