Shrimpy Truffle

The Shrimpy Truffle is a Mount-summon item that spawns a miniature rideable Duke Fishron-style mount. The mount (called "Cute Fishron" in Terraria's game files, but nameless in-game) can fly and hover indefinitely. It is obtained from Duke Fishron's Treasure Bag in Expert Mode.

It is similar to the Cosmic Car Key's UFO Mount, but its flight speed is slightly slower. However, while the UFO Mount cannot be used in liquids, contact with liquids causes Cute Fishron to gain a dramatic movement speed bonus, as well as providing the player with a 13% damage bonus. These boosts continue for 6 seconds after it leaves water. These same movement and damage boosts also take effect when the rider's health falls below half.

While boosted, its eyes display a glowing effect that fades as the boost expires. The color of the glow matches the water color in the present biome, eg. yellow for Desert, magenta for Hallow, etc.

During contact with land (any blocks), this mount's movement speed is drastically lowered to a very slow crawl. It therefore does not do well in confined spaces.

Tips

 * Using a Water Bucket to pour water over yourself while on this mount in midair will trigger its boost, the same as if the mount had flown through a body of water. The water must be used on the player's own body; pouring it over the head or tail of the mount will not work. This can potentially make Cute Fishron the fastest mount on air if using this method repeatedly with the Bottomless Water Bucket.
 * The Water Gun's "Wet" debuff also triggers the boost, but as it can't be used on oneself, it would require another player firing it.
 * You can use Rod of Discord to lower your health below 50% and gain the boost.
 * You can create an arena underwater and use a Neptune's Shell to fight bosses with the boost in continuous operation, without dying by drowning.
