Rare Truffle

The Rare Truffle is a friendly Heartless from Kingdom Hearts.

Although the game identifies Rare Truffles as enemies, the mushroom-like Heartless never attack. Classified as a "friendly" Heartless, Rare Truffles love to jump, and are always found hopping. The more they jump, the happier they are. As the name implies, the Rare Truffle is the rarest "enemy" in the game. Its name is sometimes mistaken as being "Blue Truffle."

Like other Mushroom Heartless, the Rare Truffle yields extremely valuable and rare items. However, unlike the items dropped by White Mushrooms and Black Fungi, there is no true use to them. To obtain an item from a Rare Truffle, the player must use any means necessary to keep them in the air for as long as possible. Using the Keyblade and/or Aeroga is usually recommended. If the Rare Truffle touches the ground even once after the initial hit, it becomes enraged and departs, unless the item requirements are met.

The best place for Rare Truffle "bopping" is Neverland. They spawn on the deck of the ship, and can easily be trapped in corners for repeated hits with Aeroga. If Goofy has the MP Gift ability equipped, he will automatically restore Sora's MP, so all the player needs to do is keep Aero cast every 15-20 "bops" and they can easily get 100 hits.

A similar tactic is used in Kingdom Hearts II for a mini-game.
