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.

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 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.

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!

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.

Ok so I’ve herd people getting really pissed of by these things because they have stolen their stuff and they couldn’t find them so they lost their good items but their is actually a really easy way to find them. You are probably familiar with these things taming method you let them steal berries from you and than they tame. because of this method when they steal something from you the game thinks you are trying to tame them. So hypothetically speaking of the game thinks your trying to tame them you could use the taming tracker to pinpoint their exact location from all the way across the map and because their taming they won’t despawn (do keep in mind that they still are wild so if a Dino wipe happens they will despawn) please up if this helps
