'''Boko Babas''' are enemies in {{TWW}}.
The '''Boko Baba''' is an enemy that appears in {{TWW}}. 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.

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]].

To defeat a Boko Baba, Link must attack it until it straightens its neck following two Sword slashes, then sever its head.

When defeated, depending upon the Boko Baba, they may leave a [[Baba Bud]] behind. They also leave behind [[Boko Stick]]s, and sometimes, a [[Boko Baba Seed]], which can be stolen with the [[Grappling Hook]].

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.
 
 
When defeated, depending upon the Boko Baba, it may leave its bud behind intact. It also leaves behind a [[Boko Stick]], and sometimes a [[Boko Baba Seed]] which is also possible to obtain using the [[Grappling Hook]].

==Etymology==
 
Boko Baba's Italian name, Nefentyax, is likely derived from the {{wp|Nepenthes}} genus of carnivorous plants.
{{Main|Baba Bud}}
 
When [[Link]] jumps into a Baba Bud, it will spit him high into the air in any direction. Upon jumping into one, as a bonus, a small amount of [[Magic Meter|magic power]] will be recovered. 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.
