Things that you didn't realize were in the game for the longest time?

Quoting @ExoticCharm :
"Regardless of the hundreds of hours that I have put into this game, there always seems to be something new that I discover. I didn't know that the sun would where sunglasses every time you did until a couple months ago. Also, I never knew about the enchanted sword (and how could you without looking at the wiki).

What mechanics/items/secrets did you not know about despite your massive time with this game?"

Well allow me to start this:

If you're standing still on Rudolph for a time , he's eating grass. I didn't know that untill today.

 

[Toxic]

I had no idea the Unicorn on a Stick existed...what a strange item

 

[DerpoTheMagnificent]

Woah, never knew that about Rudolph...I pretty much know about every item currently in the game now...so I got nuthin'.

 

[Nimbus_Bolt]

Didn't know rudolph was in the game. Also iI just found out about rune walls.

 

[GoldenTerrabyte]

I like JUST found out the Snow Flinx exists.

 

[Squideer]

For over 500 hours on Terraria before the 1.2 Update, I had some knowledge of every item in the game. (And had found a copy, And used every item at least once except for the Whoopie Cushion, and Moon Charm. )

...That is, Except for Poisonous Throwing Knives. A friend gave me a set of these just before the 1.2 update and I was so confused.

Whoops wrong scenario, I was actually looking at an old list of Terraria weapons because I was trying find the page for the Sandgun, I saw the article regarding Poisonous Throwing Knives and only found out then that they existed.

I like JUST found out the Snow Flinx exists.

For people who never visit the underground snow biome.......

I just recently found out about crates because I didn't use to fish.

Actually I just haven't played 1.2, and I still had never seen them before in videos or on the Wiki until recently.

The Snowflix are a fun enemy, The first one I ever killed dropped a Snowball Launcher. I carried this around and deployed it as a weapon. (Terraria really needs more Turret options, As much as I like the Bunny Cannon it's a hassle to get ammo. Both it and the normal cannon don't have the same "feel" as the Snowball Launcher either)

 

[Rainway]

I had no idea about the Squid until I looked it up ._.

 

[nealpd]

I found out about Molotov cocktails a few days ago... In pvp...

xD but still if you don't go into the underground snow biome you most likely wont see them, I was saying that people who don't might relate.

 

[CinamonPizza]

Recently discovered that Bundle of Ballons goes to around the same height as spectre/lightning/frostspark boots

 

[Isaac the Jester]

i did not know how to get a mime mask for the longest time, also how to get sunglasses because the drop rate of black lenses is way too low

Hardmode

It may seem weird, but I was a TOTAL NOOB back then when I started playing.

So, yeah, I killed Skeletron and I thought I beat the game, I did nothing else I just played new files without entering Hardmode.

I like, played 200+ hours of the game without actually playing it.

[TheFancyWisp]

I JUST RIGHT NOW found out that you could place coins

 

[Arakina]

Anything that came from Presents.

I thought that the presents of 2013 were the same thing as the presents of 2012, so I just threw them away. I found out they contained new items after my friends got a Red Ryder and told me how he got it.

Wait, what??? You can do that??

The Red Potion, I found in a free-items server. I also never realized that the Merchant sells potions.
