Rare Truffle

The Rare Truffle is an Emblem Heartless that is found in Kingdom Hearts.

Design
A Rare Truffle has a spherical, pitch black head with two glowing yellow, beady eyes. It wears a round, yellow cap on its head that sports two blue, angular spirals on its front and a orange star on its back. It also wears a bright blue smock that completely covers its legs and thin, fingerless arms. Its Heartless emblem is present on the front of this smock.

The Rare Truffle's name refers to truffles, an edible genus of mushrooms that were, for many years, unable to be effectively cultivated, and were difficult to find in nature.

Ranks
The Rank items are obtained from Rare Truffles in Kingdom Hearts. They are proof that the player satisfied a Rare Truffle by bopping it into the air a set number of times, and have no purpose, except bragging rights.


 * Shiitake Rank: Bop the Rare Truffle into the air fifty times. Its resell value is a mere 100 Munny.
 * Matsutake Rank: Bop the Rare Truffle into the air 100 times. Its resell value is a mere 500 Munny.

Strategy
The Rare Truffles indicate their desire to be in the air by constantly hopping around, and will richly reward anyone who can satisfy them. However, if they touch ground again after being launched into the air, they immediately depart. While they can be kept in the air with well-timed jumps and Keyblade combos, the easiest method of satisfying them is to herd one into a corner and then use an Aero spell. Touching the wind around Sora will launch the Rare Truffle into the air, and as long as it continues to fall onto this wind it will bounce back up, so the requisite 100 hits can be reached by simply staying beneath the Rare Truffle and recasting Aero as necessary. This is easily done in the Hercules Cup at Olympus Coliseum when the Rare Truffle appears alone as a rare solo seed, due to the lack of other enemies and an enclosed area.
