Quadro Baba
The Quadro Baba is a unique form of the Deku Baba in Skyward Sword. Unlike normal Deku Babas, it can open its mouth both horizontally and vertically. These enemies become more common later in the game.
Characteristics
Quadro Babas are very similar to Deku Babas, with the key difference being that the Quadro Baba has a golden exterior and that it can change the direction in which it opens its mouth.
When it attacks, it opens its mouth fully, making it vulnerable to both horizontal and vertical sword attacks. To defeat this enemy, Link must slice alongside the opening of its mouth, using a vertical slice if its mouth is opened vertically or a horizontal slice if its mouth is opened horizontally. It can also be defeated by other alternate methods. Using a Bomb or the Template:It can defeat it, as well as the Bow, but only if an Arrow is shot in the mouth or at the vine. A safer method is to use a Shield Bash to stun this enemy. When stunned, it can be chopped in one strike.
The Quadro Baba is slightly more durable than the Deku Baba. They are also more aggressive, and will also attempt to attack twice in one turn at rapid speed. They are also capable of dodging Link's sword attacks by swerving away, and unlike Deku Babas, they can also avoid stab attacks. They will then try to counterattack with a bite after dodging.
