Mounts

For a comparison of the jump/flight heights of the mounts stacked with various movement accessories, see Jump Height Comparison § Combinations.

Mounts are creatures or objects that act as vehicles that a player can use for transportation or dealing damage. When a mount-summoning item is used, it applies an unlimited buff to the player, spawns the mount, and places the player on or in it. Mount movement can be controlled using the player's usual movement keys. Like pets and minions, mounts can be used limitlessly, and their summoning items are not consumed. Only one mount can be in effect at a time. Mounts will unequip automatically when the player dies.

Weapons and tools (as well as any other item, except hooks) can be used while riding a mount, except for the Drill Mount(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions).

Grounded mounts will get extra jumps from accessories and float from Featherfall Potions. However, they will not benefit from jump speed or movement speed increases or be able to use Gravitation Potions.

All mount items can be placed in the mount slot and then summoned with Quick Mount, and can be dyed. Equipping a mount provides a short burst of light (except Bee and Scutlix).

There are currently 27 mounts, each with varying abilities and movement statistics. All mount-summoning items have the 08* rarity, except for the Shrimpy Truffle and Witch's Broom, which have the 12* rarity, and Master Mode-exclusive mounts, which have the 13* rarity.

All mounts that do damage (e.g Slime Mount) will do summon damage.

Mount-summoning items do not have modifiers and therefore cannot be reforged.

Notes

• While mounts will not change the player's width, riding a mount can increase the player's height. The Pirate Ship Mount and Unicorn Mount, for example, increase the player's height to 5 tiles, and most mounts, such as the Slimy Saddle and Ancient Horn will increase the player's height to 4 tiles.
• Mounts are affected by the set bonus effects of armor sets. For example, if riding a Unicorn Mount with full Hallowed armor, the Unicorn will have a pulsing outline (however, some dyes such as the Hades Dyes can make this hard to spot).
• Mounting while flying with the Spectre Boots or any of its upgrades may temporarily revert their particle effects to that of the Rocket Boots.

Achievement

The Cavalry • “Equip a mount.”

Equip your first mount. (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions)

Category: Collector

Tips

• Mount-compatible doorways can be implemented using mechanisms or hoiks to allow a player into or out of areas while still riding their mounts. Using a Tall Gate also works.
• The Cosmic Car Key, Witch's Broom, Shrimpy Truffle, Drill Containment Unit, and The Black Spot all grant infinite flight to the player.

Trivia

• Rudolph was the first mount introduced to Terraria, and is the only mount available in all platforms of the game.
  • The Bee Mount comes the closest to being so, only missing from the Nintendo 3DS version. Other mounts are limited to certain versions.
• The Mourning Wood is the only enemy that can drop two mount-summoning items at once.
• The Unicorn Mount is the only mount that has its own achievement, which is unlocked when firing a Rainbow Gun while riding it.
