Dangerous Flora of Hyrule
The world of the Legend of Zelda is home to many fascinating and unique creatures, many of which are
monsters that stand in the way of heroes. Using these creatures in a Pathfinder 2e campaign that is not a Legend
of Zelda campaign may cause some dissonance, but with some flavor tweaks they could be used in a non-Zelda
campaign without issue. The same is true for using base Pathfinder 2e monsters in a Legend of Zelda campaign.
If a creature in this bestiary appears in multiple games with different traits, then the resulting creature will be an
amalgamation of all the official depictions, or multiple variants of the creature will be listed.

Deku Baba
Deku babas are a type of carnivorous plant that dwell deep within forests, preying on creatures that get near
them. While most are rooted in place and stationary, a few kinds of deku baba are mobile, such as the baba
serpent or Diababa.
Baba Serpent
Baba serpents are semi-sentient plants that can uproot themselves and move in search of prey. They have thorns
on their stalks, orange heads with black stripes, and blue and purple forked tongues. They also have fangs and
seemingly a nose. When attacking prey, a baba serpent will launch itself in an attempt to wrap its jaws around
its chosen victim.

Kalle Demos
Kalle demos are giagantic plant monsters that parasitize the Forbidden Woods, living in the deepest depths of
them. It is made up of two integral parts: a vulnerable flower-like head and the multi-armed hanging bulb that
not only poses a threat to prey, but shields the flower inside from damage. The bulb has two different types of
tentacles: the ones that anchor the creature to the ceiling and those that act as electrified barbs.

Bulbous Shield (vulnerability) A kalle demos' core is surrounded by thick
bulbous leaves while it is attached to the ceiling. After identifying the
tentacles attaching the bulb to the ceiling as a weak spot, a creature
can take a -2 circumstance penalty to its attack roll to target the
hanging tentacles with a weapon that deals piercing or slashing
damage. If 20 or more piercing or slashing damage is done in a single
turn to the hanging tentacles, they detach from the ceiling, causing the
kalle demos to fall to the ground, unvealing the vulnerable core for a
short time. While its core is exposed, the kalle demos can only make a
jaws Strike.
Kalle Demos Core The core of a kalle demos has weakness 8 to slashing
damage. At the end of the kalle demos' next turn after being exposed,
the kalle demos will attach itself back to the ceiling, covering the core
once more with a bulbous shield. Creatures within 5 feet of the core as
it brings back its bulbous shield are swallowed up, taking 5d6 piercing
damage and 4d6 acid damage (DC 24 basic Fortitude), then spat back
out into a space within 15 feet, landing prone.
Speed 15 feet, climb 15 feet

Flurry of Tentacles (flourish) The kalle demos unleashes a flurry of
tentacles at an unsuspecting creature. It makes two Strikes with its
tentacles. If both hit the same creature, combine their damage for the
purpose of resistances and weaknesses.

Manhandla
A large man-eating flower with jaw-like leaves sticking out in all four directions. It moves faster as it loses its
leaves. Even though it is a plant, manhandla are capable of spitting motes of fire and appear to be immune to
fire themselves.

Multiple Leaves (vulnerability) The manhandla has four jaw-like leaves,
each of which have 45 Hit Points comprising the total Hit Points of the
manhandla, but are tracked separately. A specific leaf can be targeted
with a -2 circumstance penalty. An attack that does not target a specific
leaf simply damages a leaf at random. Each leaf that is destroyed adds
a cumulative +5-foot status bonus to the manhandla's Speed.
Reactive Strike Leaf only.

Focused Assault The manhandla attacks a single target with all four of
its leaves. The manhandla makes one leaf Strike. On a success, the
manhandla deals the damage from one leaf Strike plus an additional 1d8
damage for every leaf beyond the first. On a failure, the manhandla
deals the damage from one leaf Strike. It deals no damage on a critical
failure. This counts toward the manhandla’s multiple attack penalty as a
number of attacks equal to the number of leaves the manhandla has.
Hungry Flurry The manhandla makes four leaf Strikes at a –2 penalty,
each against a different target. These attacks count toward the
manhandla’s multiple attack penalty, but the multiple attack penalty
doesn’t increase until after it makes all its attacks.

feet of the sand's surface). After the Strike, Zaganaga burrows back
down.
Sandblast (earth) Zaganaga sprays a blast of sand that deals 9d10
