*I know the question will arise, "Why?"
Heres the simple answer, I feel the game can use any excitement it needs, terraria has become void of new content, and although I'm sure 1.3 will bring lots, the more the merrier. So "Why?" should never be a question when it comes to suggestions, unless utterly unnecessary or literally damaging to content and such.
Check out SzGamer227's Acid Rain Event, which inspired the format and most monsters.
Summary
We are all familiar with earthquakes, we see them on the news, some experience them, and more. They are a thing of nature, as are many terrarian events are, so why not? My proposed idea is that like rain, there will be at any time an earthquake will happen. Except these will only occur during hard mode. The chances for a rain event are 1 in 475,200 per game tick. There are 60 ticks per in real life minute, so, throughout a full in-game day, the chance of rain is about 2/11, or 18%. The earthquake will be slightly more rare, a 14% chance every day. The initial quake will be a 2-3 second session of screen shaking, leading into 12 in game hours of different mobs. This will be followed by small aftershocks occasionally. The only way to know it will have ended will be a change in the background. Now, into what happens when the event occurs.
Contents
From higher ground brownish boulders will tumble, doing the same damage boulders do in underground traps. The background changes to fallen trees, broken rocks, and underground cracked rock. New mobs roam, and occasional shaking will occur, but no large quakes will occur after the initial one. Goldfish and piranhas will flop around on dry land, thrown out of the water by the shaking, and the only true area safe from the shaking is on sky islands. The ocean will be splashed violently with large waves, leaving sharks and jellyfish on land and water from the ocean in small pockets scattered. These events are all about rocks, so many items and enemies are related to that.
