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

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

GUYS!

when while i was gliding with archeo HE JUMPSCARE ME! but my last slot was 100x mejo it tamed him

yes now i have a thief without doing anything to him

They stealing my medical brews before I can go to the Boss in the dungeon, I could never find the ont that stole them before it decomposes😭😭

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.

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.

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 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

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

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!

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

Extremely dangerous to your items kill on sight

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

They suck. No noobing around them.🤗🤣

Unless you want to be like me…

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

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

Many if not all ground mounts don't protect you from being robbed, so while I used to argue that a fast raptor is as good as a bird you'll have an empty inventory when you get there soooo I guess the fun's over

I have killed this mf twice first time with a torch swing then my Dodo pecked it and I smashed it in the head with my torch and killed it… satisfaction

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.
