Terraria is an Action-Adventure Sandbox game created by Re-Logic. It brings all of the good things of a Sandbox Survival game into a cool 16-bit Retro 2D game. Gather resources, build Structures, battle Mobs & Monsters, & against other Players if you so choose. The World of Terraria is massive and traveling by foot can be long and tiresome. As such, players can use Mounts to get from one point to another very easily. But which Mount is the Best? In this guide, I will show you the Best Mounts in Terraria that you should get.

Best Mounts in Terraria

Mounts in Terraria are Creatures or Objects that behave as vehicles for the players to traverse the world. They can be either Land, Water, or Flying Mounts. Mounts are not exclusive to any one type of terrain, so the ones that can travel on all 3 are the best. Depending on your Game’s difficulty, the Best Mount will vary. Here are the Best Mounts for every Difficult in Terraria.
