There is, yet, another mystery that shrouds the Zelda games: what kind of organism is a Deku Scrub, anyway?

I went with plant. What about you?

Perhaps it is both.  It moves around and has a brain like an animal, but it looks more like a plant.  They could be a whole new kingdom.

I said plant for the reason that its almost like a venus fly trap, but can move around.

I voted both. I don't think anybody really is sure on this subject, but if you think about it, The Legend of Zelda is a fantasy series, and there can be such thing as a plant/animal in made up stories. Now I think if it came down to the Great Deku Tree, I would have to vote plant, even though he can talk. Besides the fact that he can talk, he mostly resembles a plant. Perhaps he can pass as Plant/Dungeon  :P

Fantasy, schamantasy.  The Protista Kingdom is half plant half animal.  Forget a new kingdom for the Deku scrubs; they're just large, multicellular protists. :P

It could be considered both... it has physical properties of an animal, but the appearance of a plant.... :o mesmerizing...

I called it a multicellular protist.  I think that's enough explanation.

Both. It can move around like an animals, but has  plant characteristics. Like a venus fly trap. Or Bulbasaur/IIvysaur/Venasaur. Remember the controversy if they were plants? ;)

if we just had like a cell from a deku we could tell,
plant cells have vacuoles and animal cells dont,
right?

What do they eat? Meat like deku babas? Then they might eat stray kokiris hehe. And where do they stash all those nuts at? (Can it you 10 year old pervs)

 :) *checks filthy thoughts at the proverbial door*
Maybe they have some sort of nut-making device which enables them to have a replenishable supply? ;)

I think thats the best explanation. There are plenty of animals that don't move, so why does a Deku have to be part animal?
