On ARK MOBILE these guys can't actually be found on the Island itself. It can only be found in dungeons as the eerie pegomastax.

The pegomastax stole my rocket launcher... be careful with these little guys, they appear out of nowhere.

I can’t find these on ark mobile so I don’t think they spawn on ark mobile

Sorry for ark mobile players that have been looking for it for so long

This little bugger stole my level 240 thorny dragon cryopod while I was teaching my friend how to raise a baby dodo. It proceeded to run into a high level, alpha raptor and die. Wow.

This creature, the Pegomastax, is available on many islands and is typically aggressive because of its desire for peeking at your inventory. When it sees something it wants, it takes it, but they are easy to knock out and kill because they have a very low torpor tolerance.

Yours truly,

Excellent Explanations

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.

This can steal everything except yo girl.

It has negative rizz.

To anyone who said they’re only in dungeons on mobile.

BEWARE!

Just encountered one while I was taming ang killed me.

Beach. Yeah I mean I was on the beach…

This guy literally stole my wall and wen I say I screamed for 30 minutes I mean it

Bro these…things are annoying they can very important things from you INCLUDING GUNS!!!!. Hard to tame too

They’re all over the place on the island, ARK ultimate.

They suck. No noobing around them.🤗🤣

Unless you want to be like me…

Me sees Pego for first time: ooo cool!

Pego:go away

Me: gives anything to tame Pego

Pego:Imma just steal this girls stuff

Pego: takes stuff and runs off

Me:HEY YOU HAVE VIOLATED THE LAW!

Pego:throws stuff off cliff

Me:you little shit...

Pego:hah you thought you stood a chance!

They'll steal everything but your affection. Thank God it prefers stuff in your last hotbar slot. Put crap in there and laugh as it runs off thinking it's very clever.

This guy is the reason to not take cryopods in the beach/redwoods

Extremely dangerous to your items kill on sight

I WAS TAMING A MEGATHERIUM AND THE I SEE

“Your Spino level 389 was killed by pegostmax level 2”

“Your Gigantosaurus level 167 was killed by level 2 pegostmax”

Along with my carno my Rex my 6 trikes and my dodo.

Run they will steal your ascended Tek meg sattle

Honestly I accidentally tamed about 50 if these. Definitely run away when you see one!

keeps stealing my food.... like WTF

If you’re tired of getting robbed of gear try this. Put spoiled meat as your last item in your hotbar and carry a few stacks of meat. They’ll typically take your spoiled meat since it’s the last item and you’ll replace it over and over.
