The Scaly Truffle is a Hardmode mount-summoning item that summons a Pigron Mount that allows the player to fly for a limited time and run faster on land. The Scaly Truffle is obtained by fishing in the cavern layer of an Ice biome overlapping a Hallow, Corruption, or Crimson biome in Hardmode.

The highlighted area is where fishing can yield a Scaly Truffle (Snow+Cavern+Crimson).

Notes

  • The Pigron Mount's maximum flight time is 2.67 seconds, comparable to the Bee/Butterfly/Flame Wings.
  • The top running speed of a Pigron Mount is 46 mph, reached after approximately 5.8 seconds.[1]

Trivia

Yawn animation of the Pigron Mount.
  • Although the Pigron enemy has multiple variants, the Pigron Mount can only have the appearance of the Hallow Pigron.
    • (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) The Pigron Mount can be dyed in the mount equipment slot to fit a player's preference. The biome-specific colors can be recreated with Purple Dye for the Corruption Pigron, and Red Dye for the Crimson Pigron.
  • When standing still on the Pigron Mount for between 15 and 25 seconds, it will eventually yawn.Verify
  • The Pigron Mount buff tooltip, "Now you see me...", is a reference to how Pigrons can turn nearly invisible, as well as the widely used phrase "Now you see me... now you don't."
  • The reason for the Pigron Mount's summon item being a Scaly Truffle is most likely because truffle hogs (a kind of domesticated pig) are used for locating truffles in the real world.

History

  • Desktop 1.4.3: Removed the last period in the buff tooltip ("Now you see me...." to "Now you see me...").
