| − | The '''Boko Baba''' is an enemy that appears in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]''. It is a plant-like enemy similar to the [[Deku Baba]], and given the possible timeline placements of ''The Wind Waker'', it may be theorized to be an evolved descendant. It looks like a harmless [[Baba Bud]], but when Link approaches, it springs out revealing its monstrous head. The Boko Baba is very similar in appearance to a [[wikipedia:Venus Flytrap|Venus Flytrap]] and even has similar "teeth" to one. It hangs out its purple tipped, yellow tongue, and drools purple saliva, craving for the green garbed hero. A larger form of Boko Baba also appears in the game; the boss [[Kalle Demos]]. |

Had it been ''introduced as a race'', the site would have referred to it as サルボ族, as it did with the Kikwi, Parella and Mogma, the latter of which was "introduced" at the same time as Sarubo. Your Goron point is normally valid, but seeing as they deliberately introduced the other three as races themselves and didn't for Sarubo, Sarubo would be an individual name. While "Eldin" would be logical, I wouldn't put it past them to name it something else. |

Do you think that the introduction image of Hylia depicts her alongside four races, and just one of her servants for some reason? Because the opening at that stage is talking about the beings surrounding her as land-dwelling races. I think we can drag Occam's Razor across that issue. Anyway, don't get me wrong, Sarubo seems like an extremely likely candidate, I just think we should wait for an official English name, since when we do find it out, it would replace the Japanese one anyway.

| − | The Boko Baba has three methods of attack; a surprise attack when it first springs out of its bud, a simple bite or headbutt attack, and its unblockable eating attack. The latter can be anticipated when it licks its lips, and it subsequently grabs and vigorously chews [[Link]] in its |

| − | To kill the Boko Baba, one must attack it until it straightens its neck (following two sword slashes), and then sever its head. Alternatively the [[Boomerang]] will kill it in one hit. In its normal dying animation, the head is chopped off and both bud and head disappear in a cloud of black smoke. Hitting it with the [[Hookshot]] will straighten up its neck. If it is killed by being struck with the [[Hammer#Skull Hammer|Skull Hammer]], a different dying animation will follow, whereby its head is flattened on the ground and then bursts (without the usual black smoke). Subsequently the Boko Bud will also explode. |

This is important, because many areas require Link to use the [[Deku Leaf]] (a magic-consuming item) after jumping out of the Baba Bud. It should be noted that the actual bud and a bud occupied by a Boko Baba are slightly different colors. |

Revision as of 12:39, 14 May 2016
Sarubo
The official Japanese site calls it Template:Korean. I'm guessing Wolfger assumed it was named after the province/mountain, like Faron, but I suggest we move it to Sarubo for now. - TonyT S C 22:03, 22 October 2011 (EDT)
- Are you sure that's not the name of its race? Because it appears alongside Hylia in the opening with four other races, which leads me to believe that this little guy is one of many. Fyrisvellir 08:31, 23 October 2011 (EDT)
- That's an interesting theory, but here's why I don't think so:
- 1) To me, the as-of-yet unrevealed race on the far left of Her Grace doesn't resemble the little creature on this page very much, apart from the small stature and its face.
- 2) Given that it's a spirit, I highly doubt there would be a race of it running around.
- 3) Based on 2 translations done by myself and another Japanese speaker, the first line of text reads "A flying robot equipped with two arms, Sarubo". If correct, this indicates that it wouldn't be a race by normal means, and that "Sarubo" is indeed its name.
