Fire Bad
I'm sure that the suggestion of having a variety of Voodoo dolls has been mentioned already at some point to trigger ever more dangerous and bizarre bosses, or event items like pumpking medallions triggering mayhem in the underworld, but I couldn't find any threads with a few searches, so those ideas are probably either buried in a sea of ideas or part of threads that are not specific to the underworld.
I think the cavern layer should always offer some safety from most events, save for the Moonlord itself, so I think that events underground would be going too far except for in the Underworld (hell) area. I mean, the whole point of even being there is the fact that you went too far.
It is more than possible to create a village in the underworld, one with relatively safe inhabitants depending on how you build their homes, with random lava spills and enemies that penetrate walls all considered in the design. However there are no special bunnies that spawn down there, and there are no events other than the WoF (on the vanilla PC version), so it seems there are still a few things that can be done, although I will admit the game doesn't feel like it's missing anything down there, especially with the addition of trees down there and lots of native unique monsters. Still, it seems to lose relevance in Hard Mode, which is unfortunate.
There may be mods that already do this, but it would be interesting if there was a Cyborg voodoo doll, for example, as a movie reference to a certain robot giving a thumbs-up while sinking into lava, and maybe a wall of liquid steel could appear, another reference to the same movie, or perhaps something darker, maybe even something that goes a bit too far, like an angler voodoo doll (I don't expect that idea to fly, though) with a "The Angler has been SLAIN" message that will slap the game with that revenue-crushing Adult Only rating (nope). Now there's an idea I threw at the wall that won't stick, even if it was a wall of flesh!
Or perhaps all the moon events do funny things in the underworld, with pirates (pyrotes?), elves, goblins and scarecrows from hell and that sort of thing when event triggers are used in hard mode. More of the same, except with fire! FIRE! In cases where it already had fire, well, MORE FIRE!
Maybe these are just bad ideas from a stupid poopyhead with doodoo for brains that smeels bad and doesn't know anything, but sometimes that's what makes an idea fun. Never forget to have fun!
Also never forget to share ideas even if you have no intentions of putting any development work into them. I could talk smack all day, talk is cheap, but at the end of the day, credit belongs to those who work and not to lazy smack-talkers.
