Should you find yourself in Pegomastax lands, always keep multiple stacks of Mejoberries, and place one stack on your 10th (0) hotbar slot. They love them Mejoberries and will often insta-tame with one stack (and sometimes get a decent amount back).

One benefit to having an instant tamed Pegomastax is if you should get attacked by another while you tamed the first, or are dealing with something else, your new tame will hunt down its pal to get your items back (talk about brutal betrayal).

If you don’t have a lot of Mejoberries, put trashy items or other berries in the 10th (0) hotbar slot, instead.

Pegomastax stole master craft pump shotgun. Why me ARK LADY

It will steal your cryopods ! Once lost a level 80 argy to a pegomastics

These guys aren’t scared of anyone they genuinely don’t care what tame your on they want your goodies. On a titanosaur? Gimme summin on a giga? 40 raw meat stolen these guys are the bane of my existence and only exist to steal my cryopod and get accidentally tamed and subsequently shotgunned in the face

I WISH INFERTILITY ON THOSE WHO IMPLANTED THIS “ALPHA” RAT INTO THE GAME

If you encounter these in the wild, make sure you have any item in your inventory or they will maul you to death faster than I would care to admit. It could be anything from berries to a shotgun however I would not recommend the second one. Also do not put your valuables in you last hot bar a lot or they will 100% steal the last slot. Happy exploring!

I downloaded the new mobile version only to encounter these things regularly on the beach.

Thought it was two very small dilos, for some reason, and I needed hide anyway. Ran up and they simultaneously pounced on me and killed me. Respawned, hunted them down and took my wooden cage back… why the heck did it take the wooden cage. I think it wants to be hated, but it also wants to be laughed at.

I had one steal 40 mejoberries and now I have a pet pegomastax named ugly rat because it tamed on the spot

These gremlins will attack a wyvern they don't GAF

On ASA mobile I just encountered one at night not far from the beach... The warning music played, I sprinted to my camp fire on a single wooden foundation. From the darkness the scary nightmare of a creature jumped up, bit me, stole my cooked meat. I jumped back pulled on my bow sting and killed it.

-Lvl 15 pegomastax has stolen your credit card phone number!-

Uh... okay..?

-checks phone-

'Hey, man~'

The most evil thing to ever exist

I freeze my tuso, Pego steals my tuso. I try to chase him back, he steals my shotty. I finally kill him and it’s the wrong one.

Rip squidler

Don't let them steal your night vision goggles!

I play on mobile and the only time I have encountered this was while in a Dungeon

If a pego steals something then you can k.o. Or kill it and open its inventory and you can get your stuff back.

Unless it’s food then you’re out of luck.

These are on extinction in the sunken forest. It is not listed on dodex.

When they steal your stuff they run away so 360 no scope that b##ch into the void

Hate em’. I’m new and don’t have much metal/iron. Had 100 metal on me and snatched my metal. ........

Always have mejos on your last slot when on foot/building etc, that way it wont steel anything decent and also it will start to take it so you will have a tracker on it for when its hanging around.
