Terraria is a massive game with many unique and adorable mounts. From slimes, bees, brooms, you name it! Terraria has it all! But, if there are so many of them, how can you tell which of them is the best? Journey with us as we walk you through our Top 5 Terraria Flying Mounts and how to get them. 

5. Honeyed Goggles

Bzzzt. Hey! How are you doin’?

What’s good about the Bee mount:

• Slow on land but compensates with fast flight. Can hover in place after reaching max altitude (or using up flight time).
