Deku Nut Supply
Type	Defensive Organic Item
Fields	Bomb, Deku, Kokiri, Light, Seed, Sheikah, SingleUse, Stock
Cost	6 or 40 rupees

A Deku Nut appears as a brown nut, about the size of a Hylian's fist, with a golden slit running halfway across its exterior. Throwing one against a hard surface (or otherwise impacting it) will cause the nut to explode, and produce a blinding flash which will temporarily blind or stun almost anyone who sees it.

A Deku Nut Supply costs a set 40 rupees. A supply provides an effectively infinite supply of Deku Nuts. This supply is a racial perk for both Deku Scrubs, Kokiri, and Sheikah. As such, a member of any such race can choose to gain it as a perk upon character creation. If a member of such a race chooses to gain this treasure at some point after creation, it costs 15 rupees less than normal. Other races acquire this treasure normally. Unlike other beings, a Deku Scrub with this treasure can orally produce a Deku Nut via natural means, and then either spit it forth at throwing speed, or drop it onto the ground beneath them.

An individual Deku Nut costs a set 5 rupees, and can only be used once. A skilled botanist is able to use individual Deku Nuts as a material. A botanist can use an individual Deku Nut, or part of a Deku Nut Supply, to create a Deku Baba. Growing a Deku Baba in this way takes at least 24 hours, and the Deku Baba will be tied to the dirt in which it is planted. Using 3 of these nuts, a Botanist can craft a full Deku Nut supply. With 4 of these nuts, a botanist can splice the Deku Nut's flashing effect into a supply of other seeds, fruits, or vegetables. With 5 individual nuts, a botanist can create Deku Baba Potions.
