Trivia[]

  • A group of Molers carries Mole Knight after defeating him in the main campaigns. This also occurs when he gets 1st place in a multiplayer Showdown match.
    • Mole Knight is also dragged away after his defeat in Dig; however, the Molers' role is this time replaced by the Moleflounders.
  • The Moler's model in the game's files is named "Troll Mole".
  • It is currently unclear what relation there is between Molers, and the mole-like people like Gastronomole, Tom Bola, and the Clawed Miner.
  • In the Lost City, in both Specter of Torment and King of Cards, Goldarmor-like statues with Moler heads can be seen in the background in some locations.
  • Molers and a mole thief enemy that could steal unspecified content were planned for the game but were cut. These enemies appeared in screenshots in the first Shovel Knight Dig presskit that was posted when the game was revealed in late 2019.
