Truffle Crabs are an enemy found on the Farm. They have a 0.2% chance to be dug up by a Pig instead of a Truffle.^[1] They can appear regardless of whether monster spawns on the Farm are enabled or not.

Behavior

They disguise themselves as Truffles, sometimes surprising the player. When immobile, they are invulnerable to attack. If a player gets within 1 tile of them, they will get up and run away.

Strategy

Although Truffle Crabs only move around once the player draws near, they can be differentiated at a distance from normal Truffles by moving the cursor over them. If the green "+" symbol () indicating a forageable item does not appear, then it is a Truffle Crab.
