Nutling

Nutlings are the defensive infantry of the Deku Tribes.

Description
This breed of Deku Scrub grew a protective nut shell on top of their heads rather than leaves or flowers. Such a covering made Nutlings very durable to conventional weapons, a trait the Deku Tribes used to protect narrow passages and bottlenecks. Nutlings were also small enough to hide under their head growth, making them invisible to casual observers.
