This is a Town NPC. A House may be required in order for it to appear.

I feel like the Truffle is a bit misunderstood, he really is a fun guy.
— The Dryad

Not to be confused with Truffle Worm, Shrimpy Truffle, or Scaly Truffle.

The Truffle is a Hardmode NPC vendor who sells various mushroom-themed items. To get the Truffle to move in, there must be a vacant House in (or near) a surface Mushroom biome during Hardmode. Surface Mushroom biomes must be created manually by a player and do not generate naturally. 100 blocks of Mushroom grass and Mushroom plants are required.

When threatened by enemies on the Desktop version, Console version, and Mobile version, the Truffle will release mushroom spores, which hover in air and deal damage.

Achievement[edit | edit source]

It Can Talk?! • "Build a house in a mushroom biome and have Truffle move in."

Have a Truffle move into a house created in the Mushroom Biome.

Notes[edit | edit source]

If other NPCs are waiting to move in, they may move into a Mushroom biome home before the Truffle can. When attempting to spawn the Truffle, try to make sure enough Houses exist for other NPCs that have not yet spawned. Even after constructing a house meeting all the architectural requirements, it may still be "not valid housing;" that may be because there is too much Corruption or Crimson beneath the house, meaning you'll have to dig under and purify it.
The Truffle is male and has a chance to be teleported by a King Statue.
The Truffle cannot be relocated to a house outside a surface Mushroom biome but can be moved to a different valid house in another surface Mushroom biome. Trying to move him to an invalid house will give the error message, "This housing does not meet the requirements for a Truffle".
The Truffle can however stay in a house after the surface Mushroom biome is destroyed. This can be exploited by creating an artificial Mushroom Biome near all of the other Houses and NPCs, have him move in, and then destroy the corresponding Mushroom biome, therefore having all of your NPCs in one place outside of a Mushroom biome.
