The video discusses the use of mounts in Terraria, which are often underutilized by players in favor of wings and boots. Mounts offer a variety of movement options and play styles, such as the unicorn and basilisk mounts, which are suitable for traveling long distances. Some mounts, like the hexed branch, have unique abilities like high speed and damage output. Others, like the winged slime, have versatile movement capabilities. Infinite flight mounts, such as the UFO and witch's broom, can be incredibly powerful but feel similar to wings. The video also showcases unique mounts like the lava shark, scutlix, and sand tank, which have absurd firepower.
