Truffle Worm



The Truffle Worm is a Critter that spawns rarely in the underground Mushroom Biome during Hardmode. It is used solely to summon the Duke Fishron Boss. In order to use it, it must be caught with the Bug Net and used as Bait with a Fishing Pole in an Ocean biome. It only spawns underground, and will not appear in surface Mushroom biomes.

The Truffle Worm is more difficult to catch than other Critters, as it burrows away when a player comes too close. It must be charged at quickly, with the Bug Net already swinging when arriving in its range, in order to successfully catch it.

Unlike most Critters, the Truffle Worm cannot be used for ordinary Fishing, nor for crafting a Cage.

Tips

 * One way to increase your chances of finding Truffle Worms is to make a large section of the Underground Jungle into an Underground Mushroom Biome, using the Clentaminator and Dark Blue Solution.
 * If you put the Dryad in the Mushroom Biome, she sells Mushroom Grass Seeds. Using these to create a flat underground Mushroom farm with platforms above the ground can make catching Truffle Worms easier.
 * When creating a Mushroom farm with leveled ground, it is easier to catch the worm while wearing Lightning Boots, as they allow you to quickly snatch them while running before they have a chance to burrow away.
 * Take note that if a Truffle Worm is let free by a player, it will still burrow and despawn almost immediately if approached or stood near to for more than a few seconds.

Trivia

 * The tooltip says "666% bait power". That could be a hint for the player since 666 is well known as number of the beast.
