Truffles Daal (neé Fungstein) is the tritagonist of Chowder and Mung Daal's wife. While her husband handles all the cooking for the catering company, Truffles handles more of the financial- and business-related aspects of it (including serving as the cashier at Mung Daal's Catering).



Personality[]

In some episodes, Truffles shows to be mean and frightening. This is proven by the fact that all who work in the company and many big and intimidating characters sort of fear her. When she plays Majhong, she becomes "Majhongasaur", a sort of Mah-Jong crazed mega-monster as stated by Mung Daal. She refuses to see her own faults and blames everyone else for whatever faults she has. In a lighter side, she is very insecure about her weight (The Flibber Flabber Diet). Because of this fault she usually does whatever someone tells her to do when they compliment her as seen when Reuben does it in Rat Sandwich. In "The Elemelons", Chowder even thought that she was extremely scary. Truffles is very competitive and more of a man than her husband. It's been proven in "Grubble Gum" that if someone brings gum in the building and not share it with her, that person would get killed (evidenced by screaming and ripping a book). Though she is stern, her love for Mung and pride in his cooking always shines through as in "The Big Hat Biddies" where she defends Mung and his cooking. Truffles is shown to think that Mung's cooking is terrible.

Mung and Truffles 450th anniversary

Mung Daal's and Truffles 450th Anniversary

Appearance[]

Truffles is a short and pudgy mushroom pixie sprite with small wings, purple hair, emerald green eyes, a green dress, huge glasses and a mushroom hat. In "Mung on the Rocks", it was revealed she was much more gorgeous in her early adult years. Truffles also appeared to have a tail in episode "The Chain Recipe", although she has never appeared with a tail other than in this episode. In Chowder's Babysitter, Chowder and Mung first described her as a freak because she looked like one. Truffles is considered ugly because in "The Garage Sale" Mung thought Chowder turned into a 'Hideous Sea Creature', but it was actually Truffles.

Relationships[]

Although Truffles is shown being very cold toward everyone, she actually likes them as she deeply cares for Mung Daal, which is seen when he forgets their anniversary and she is deeply hurt and disappointed. She also seems to care for Shnitzel when she aids in the "rescue" of Shnitzel in "Shnitzel Quits". In the same episode, she offers a shiatsu massage to get Shnitzel back. And while she and Chowder aren't as close to each other as either of them to Shnitzel or especially Mung, and Truffles has made threats to Chowder at certain points, it's clear that the Truffles and Chowder do care about each other, with Truffles even showing concern for him like how a mother would for her son (like in "Apprentice Appreciation Day"). Several times have come where Mung and other characters keep calling her ugly in several different ways. She also calls Mung "Mungybums" and kisses him to show their relationship.

Proposal Reason[]

In the episode "The Dice Cycle", when Truffles saw Young Mung Riding on his Dicycle, she said to her friend that she was "going to marry that guy". Her friend asks her why.

Trivia[]

  • In The Thrice Cream Man, it is revealed that Truffles is lactose intolerant.
    • But in Gazpacho Fights Back, she is seen drinking chocolate milk. Unless it was lactose free or non-dairy milk, it is possible Truffles lied about being lactose intolerant as an excuse not to eat any of the thrice cream.
  • She is shown to highly enjoy gum and is highly offended when people don't share it with her. She can have a heightened sense for it ("Grubble Gum (episode)").
  • C.H. Greenblatt (the show's creator) claims that he based Truffles off of his own mother.
  • She is very good at boardgames and can play them for an exceedingly long time ("The Cinnamini Monster" and "Mahjongg Night").
  • Chowder considers Truffles to be the toughest person he knows (and considers Shnitzel to be the second-toughest person he knows).
  • Truffles can multi-task using her hair as arms as shown in Chowder's Magazine.
  • Truffle is the head coach of the Goulash United Big Ball team, leading them victory but also destroying the sport. When her husband kept telling her that there's no scoring in the sport, she thought he just meant figuratively.
  • In Sheboodles!, Truffles is dressed as Cher for the 80s party.
  • Her dress was originally purple like her hair.
  • In the episode "The Hot Date", Truffles barked like a dog when she was caught by police.
  • In the first episode (season 1) of Chowder, Truffles did not have designs on her dress, but in the second episode and onwards, she had a design on her dress.
  • She and Mung have been married for 450 years.
  • Truffles has stated that she has fibromyalgia (also known as fibrositis), which is a condition that can cause sharp pains in a person's body. This could be part of the reason why she acts so mean and grouchy all the time.
  • Her voice actor Tara Strong is noted for voicing Juliet Starling in Lollipop Chainsaw, Cindy McPhearson in The Boondocks, Daizy from Wow! Wow! Wubbzy, Sierra McCool from The Replacements Harley Quinn in Batman: Arkham City, Princess Clara from Drawn Together, Ember McLain in Danny Phantom, Twilight Sparkle in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Raven in Teen Titans and Teen Titans Go!.
