Stardew Valleygives you the opportunity to raise a variety of animals that can produce helpful goods for you to process or sell. You may already know that with the pig, you will be able to gather truffles, but have you ever encountered a Truffle Crab?

In this guide, we are going to take a look at what the Truffle Crab is; this will include how it can appear, how to defeat it, and what it will drop upon defeat. Overall, the crab is relatively weak, but if you aren’t paying attention, it can catch you off guard and do some real damage.

Where Do Truffle Crabs Spawn?

Truffle Crabs willonly appear if you already have a pig on your farm.When thePigin question digs up aTruffle,there is a 0.2 percent chance that this will be a Truffle Crab(instead of the normal item).

At first glance, the crab will look just like a truffle, but once you are nearby,little green legs will appear and they will move around.These crabs are virtually thesame as crabs that you canfind in the Mines.

Since pigs only gather truffles outside,you will not find any Truffle Crabsduring the Winter.Pigs remain in the barn all season.

When stationary, Truffle Crabs won’t take damage. As you approach within one tile though,the crab will begin to move, making them vulnerable.To attack, you simply need to get close enough (causing their legs to pop out) and thenswing any melee weapon.
