Items Zamboni: Hardmode mount dropped from Ice Mimics

Terrarian
The Zamboni is the name (credit to their creator, Frank Zamboni) given to ice resurfacer machines, which are used to clean ice rinks from skate marks and debris. Check the pic below for a reference in design. So, given its purpose, being in the ice biome would make sense. The Zamboni drops from Ice Mimics at a 5% chance, and has Light Purple rarity.

The Zamboni is a basic mount that allows you to travel at a speed of approximately 40 mph, so a good speed for an early Hardmode mount. It travels slightly faster on ice and snow, at about 50 mph. The Zamboni also deal 30 damage as a ram attack.

Tooltip: Allows a faster travel speed on ice and snow “‘Terraria on Ice’ sold out, sorry kid.”

The blessed apple, obtained in the much safer surface hallow from a much more common enemy, has a top speed of 61 MPH, deals 60 summon damage, and has its own double jump.

The horse saddles sold by the Zoologist, obtainable in pre-hardmode and only costing 25 gold has a top speed of 46 MPH, and also deals 30 base damage.

If the Zamboni is not on ice, it is inferior in every way to the horse saddle, and even when it is on ice, it is only faster by 4 MPH. It is also completely outclassed by the Blessed Apple in every category, and is obtained at the same point in progression.

Suggestion:
Ices surfaces that you drive on similar to moss which allows it to receive the movement boost, and base summon damage is 120 after reaching 30 MPH, making it a halfway-point between the Unicorn and Basilisk mounts, with slower acceleration than both unless its on ice. Practical against events. Iced surfaces fade after a minute.

Great idea! Thanks
