A '''Boko Baba Seed''', or simply '''Baba Seed''', appears as a barbed purple-and-green seed, the size of the user's fist.  This single seed is pure and potent, and as such can be useful as a [[:Category:Materials|material]] to be used by a [[Botanist]].  By contrast, a [[Boko Baba Seed Supply]] is a [[:Category:Supply Field|collection]] of less pure seeds which retain the same practical use, but cannot be grown and cultivated by a Botanist.  Using just four of these potent seeds, a skilled Botanist can cultivate a Boko Baba Seed Supply.

A Baba Seed's spikes edges make it effective ammunition for a slingshot or [[Seed Shooter|shooter]], but unlike most mystical seeds, it triggers no special effect on impact.  Instead, placing one of these seeds on suitable ground will cause it to quickly sprout and bloom into a Baba Bud, over the course of less than a minute.  A Baba Bud is an exotically-colored bud, up to three feet (or a meter) across.  The user or one of their allies, can step into the bud, which will cause the bud to immediately begin to "chew" on the user as if he was an insect the bud was attempting to digest.  After a brief moment, the plant will realize its mistake, and violently--but consistently--spit the user straight up into the air.  The distance shot varies by size and weight, but a typical [[Race:Hylian|Hylian]] will be shot to ten to twenty feet up.  Heavier races like [[Race:Goron|Goron]]s, or larger races like [[Race:Lynel|Lynel]]s and [[Race:Darknut|Darknut]]s, may be unable to leap more than a couple feet.

If watered and otherwise cared for, a Baba Bud can mature into a full Boko Baba.  If done manually, this will take about an hour.  Spells or other effects which hasten plant growth can do so almost instantly. A Boko Baba is a violent and carnivorous, but stationary, plant monster which attacks all living beings near it in the attempt to consume and digest them in its jaw-like petals.  A Boko Baba stands roughly 2 meters (or 6 feet) tall, and can lunge out a similar distance from the point where it was planted.

==Variant: Boko Baba Growth==
A [[Race:Kikwi|Kikwi]], [[Race:Deku Scrub|Deku Scrub]], or [[Race:Korok|Korok]] can choose to gain the supply as a mutated growth on his body, instead of a separate pouch.  This is known as a '''Boko Baba Growth.''' The growth functions in an identical way, inexplicably producing Boko Baba Seeds at will.  Unlike the pouch, he can choose for the growth to expel a seed without manipulating it by hand.  [[Category:Treasures with Variants]]

==Trivia==
* {{Original|creator=Doc Genz}}  It was based on the canonical Baba Buds which appear in ''The Wind Waker.''  More about these can be found on [http://zeldawiki.org/Baba_Bud ZeldaWiki].
* The treasures [[Roc's Feather]] and [[Jump]] can also be used to more quickly jump to great heights, but not nearly as high as is possible with a Boko Baba Seed Supply.
