Forest Scrubs
Undoubtedly the most numerous and common type of Deku Scrub, the Forest Scrubs populate almost every verdant spot of Hyrule. Short in stature and mind, Forest Scrubs tend to be easily excited and angered like most of their race. While they may be tiny and weak, in the right conditions a group of Scrubs can ambush and beat down an unsuspecting enemy before they knew what hit them.
Pine Scrubs
Native to the southern mountains near Ordon, the Pine Scrubs have grown in the higher and colder climates. This has made them very hardy and durable, especially in weather conditions that would normally kill most other Deku races such as snow. In battle they can hold out without tiring much longer then most of their brethren, and the addition of their spiky tops serves as a convenient makeshift weapon in a melee.
Yucca Scrubs
Native to the arid lands of Hyrule, the Yucca Scrubs grew in regions with little water to support them. Their bodies thus are optimized to store large amounts of water inside and use very little. This not only means the Yucca Scrubs can travel longer distances without tiring, but they can build up more pressure inside their snouts to fire projectiles much further then the average Scrub.
Fungi Scrubs
Among the rarest of the Scrub family, these denizens of subterranean Hyrule rarely have reason to come up to the surface. When threatened though, the Fungi Scrubs are masters of hiding and striking from where you least expect. Unlike their brethren that need flowers to burrow into, the Fungi Scrubs can dig almost anywhere and hide until an unfortunate soldier happens to step on it's head.
Lily Scrubs
Occasionally found drifting down the rivers of Hyrule, the Lily Scrubs are probably the most passive of the Scrubs. They prefer to sleep most of the day, with their bodies submerged and their pad exposed to the sun. They are not the best of fighters, but their pad is a fair substitute for a shield and their ability to traverse across large bodies of water makes them ideal scouts.
Royal Scrubs
The self proclaimed leaders of all Scrub-kind, the Royal Scrubs believe themselves superior to their brethren. This is likely because unlike most Scrubs they possess arms, undoubtedly a superior advantage even if their brains might not be as large as some of their armless cousins. With their race fractured in many warring tribes, the Royal Scrubs have made it their goal to unite their race in a coalition of peace, peace enforced and dictated by only them of course.
Magnolia Scrubs
Quite possibly the rarest member of the Scrub family, these angry giants are well known for their rampages regardless. Able to swallow objects larger then a Goron, these scrubs often consume huge boulders to spit at whatever unfortunate creature happens to pass by. The various Deku Tribes treat these members much like animals and have done their best to domesticate them by directing their fire at enemy armies rather then themselves.
Peahats
A rightfully feared predator that stalks the great open plains of Hyrule, the Peahats are nothing short of certain death for whatever end up as its prey. A giant plant like creature who's roots have adapted to blades, the Peahat can rapidly rotate itself into a crude but makeshift propeller, granting it limited flight. The relation between the Peahat and Deku Scrubs is unknown, though the Scrubs have and can field these monstrosities in an army should they feel the need to do so.
Deku Baba Patch
A reflection of Deku Scrub extremity, entire gardens of these vicious and carnivorous plants dwell within their cities. While they are not very practical as a means of beautifying their settlements, Deku Babas are a creative means of defense when the Scrubs are invaded by enemies. A patch of Deku Babas can spring up underneath an enemy army for a nasty surprise attack.
Orhat
Giant insects native to the eastern forests, Orhats spend most of their day in underground nests minding their own business. When the Deku Tribes need to invade an enemy city however, they entice these giant insects to fire giant boulders from their abdomens at enemy walls.
Business Scrub
Wealth is very important to Deku Scrubs: it's one of the many things that helps them be remembered by their brothers and sisters. Business Scrubs have given up selling merchandise amongst their own kind and instead seek other avenues to fortune amongst the other races of Hyrule.
The Deku King
Amongst the Scrubs, uttering the name of royalty is a death sentence. Amongst non Scrubs, Deku names are incomprehensible and unpronounceable. As such prominent figures in the Tribes are referred to by their titles and accomplishments rather then name. The recently appointed Deku King more then makes up for his short stature with bravado and ambition. Exterminating everything that mocks him, he's come the closest to uniting the quarreling tribes into a cohesive fighting force by pointing fingers at the other races of Hyrule rather then themselves.
The Deku Princess
The daughter of the recently deceased Deku King, the unnamed Princess has fallen into a deep depression over the mysterious death of her father and rise of the new Deku King, whom plans on marrying her. At one time she was an angry and furious individual as most of her kind is, but recent events have tempered her and opened her eyes to the world. She'll stop at nothing to find out who killed her father, even if it means war with the other races of Hyrule.
