Players can collect mounts, which are extremely necessary for players to quickly traverse from one biome to another in this 2D landscape. Terraria’s vast array of weird and wonderful mounts range from basic horses to winged rainbow slimes! This list features the 13 best mounts in the game, including some from Pre-Hardmode and Hardmode and how to obtain these mounts, so players can ride off into the sunset.
13 Bunny
Summoned with the Fuzzy Carrot item, the Bunny mount is an adorable addition to the game. It has top speeds of 40mph and is an excellent early-game mount!
This fuzzy mount is awarded to players once they have completed five of the Angler’s fishing quests.
12 Bee
The Bee mount is one of the best early mounts for Pre-Hardmode. Players can get the Honeyed Googled from fighting the Queen Bee, located in hives within Jungle biomes. It has a 5% drop rate, so players may need to kill her several times before it drops.
The Bee mount can be paired with the Cloud in a Bottle item to get extra flight time and feel as though they are wearing wings!
11 Flamingo
This pink mount can be purchased from the Zoologist NPC for 20 Gold. The Flamingo mount can float in water and is surprisingly fast, with a high acceleration!
However, the Mollusk Whistle can only be purchased once players have completed 25 percent of their Bestiary, the in-game catalog of Terraria’s various creatures, including NPCs, critters, and bosses.
10 Golf Cart
The Golf Cart Keys can be purchased from the Golfer NPC for 50 Gold. It has two prerequisites to be fulfilled before players can get their hands on these keys: Skeletron needs to be defeated, and players must have achieved a golf score of at least 2,000.

When driving, this mount deals summon damage to enemies when at full speed. It can also be a handy light source as it emits a cone of light in the direction the player is facing.
9 Slime
The Slimy Saddle sounds disgusting but is dropped at a 25% drop rate by the King Slime, the boss of the Slime Rain event, and is needed to summon the Slime mount.
The classic Terraria Slime mount can float and jump quite high! This tamed bouncy ball will also damage any enemies that players hit.
8 Rudolph
Christmas can be all year round with this mount! Rudolph, summonable with the Reindeer Bells, is obtained from the Frost Moon event. It is a rare drop from the Ice Queen, one of the mini-bosses that spawn.
This iconic reindeer cancels any fall damage when mounted and has fast acceleration and flight, allowing players to zoom across the skies in no time!
7 Witch’s Broom
The Witch’s Broom is perfect for Halloween fans! It is dropped by the Mourning Wood during the Pumpkin Moon event It can fly infinitely and has a smaller hitbox, allowing players to squeeze their way through smaller spaces without dismounting.

The Witch’s Broom is, however, limited to Expert-Only mode. For players that want the extra challenge, there is also a Master Mode for Terraria!
6 Scutlix
Scutlix is the perfect mount for any sci-fi fans out there. It is summonable with the Brain Scrambler item, dropped by a Scutlix Gunner with a 1% chance. Scutlix Gunners appear during the Hardmode Martian Madness invasion event, which is triggered by players being detected by an Alien probe in the Space layer of their world.
The Scutlix mount automatically fires lasers at enemies and has fast movement speeds.
5 Winged Slime
An upgrade to the earlier basic Slime mount, the Winged Slime, is obtained by defeating the Queen Slime.
The Winged Slime, summoned by the Gelatinous Pillon, is one of the best mounts in Hardmode. It can damage enemies if they are hopped on, and it can float in water.
4 Cute Fishron
This adorable flying fish mount is obtained by defeating Duke Fishron in Expert Mode, with a 100% drop chance, so players will only need to complete this fight once. It is summonable with the Shrimpy Truffle item.
Cute Fishron has infinite flight and has extra damage and movement bonuses when moving through liquid. Like most creatures of the sea, it has a slower movement when on land.
3 UFO
The UFO is a slow-moving but mobile mount, ideal for fighting airborne bosses like the Lunatic Cultist or adding extra touches to player bases. It has infinite flight and dismounts when immersed in liquids.

The Cosmic Car Key has a 16% drop rate from the Martian Saucer, which spawns during the Hardmode Martian Madness event.
2 Unicorn
The Unicorn mount is one of the fastest Hardmode mounts. Luckily for players, this majestic mount is also one of the easiest to obtain. Players simply need to farm the spawning unicorns in a Hallowed biome, which should eventually drop the Blessed Apple.
It grants invulnerability at high speeds and is incredibly fast. Players can also double jump to hop over annoying terrain.
1 Drill
This versatile mount allows players to mine and fly simultaneously, with a mining range of 15 titles; perfect for lazy players! The summon item, the Drill Containment Unit, needs to be crafted. It requires 160 Lumite, 600 Chlorophyte ore, 600 Glowing Mushrooms, 20 Ectoplasm, 120 of both Hellstone and Meteorite ore, and 40 Obsidian.
Players will need to have defeated the endgame boss, the Moon Lord, at least twice to obtain the required amount of Luminite ore, making it one of the best endgame mounts.
Terraria is available to play on PC, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch. It is also available for purchase on both iOS and Android devices.
