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

THESE GUYS RISE FROM THE SHADOWS

This thing took all of my valuables and my life 😭 just why

I’ve seen them spawn in ark genesis oceans

I was an adventurer like you till this guy stole my stuff

This thing might be the easiest thing to tame in ark you have to show it “no fear” so if it attacks you just pull out a weapon

For all the new ark players out there: don’t run show no fear

guys help. don’t let it take your cryos, i never got it back even after killing it. rip my baby shine horn i was gonna raise ❤️‍🩹

I recently had one of these steal my kibble, to get your item back knock out the Pegomastax rather than killing it.

It stole one off my cryopods and just disappeared like a ninja never got that cryo back

Best advice I can give you to protect your tames:

Whistle on Neutral

Be aware: they will take anything out of your inventory, including artifacts

I hate these things so much, I went to get some crystals, had to land my pteranodon to get its stam back, 3 of these things team on me and steal my narcotics and tranq arrows. I chased them into a literal death pit of carnos, dilos and sarcos and manage to get half of my narcotics back. I HATE THEM

Encountering them in the dungeon is the worst. I had a bunch of soups and health brews on me and then they took them all.

YOU MUST PAY THE TAX OF THE PEGOMASTAX ( they steal your stuff )

I play on SP and got a 160 Wyvern egg. I built a trap (4 B.Gate) for milk and went there to set the trap, stopped to recharge stam and this little fella just stole my gates. I couldn't chasing him, he went to the Red Woods and there's the cat on the trees. Really sad.

Pegos are pretty cute. It’s kind of funny to see them running off with a little sack of stuff. That is, until that sack contains your entire supply of narcotics. (How did he not die that had like fifty narcotics that’s like chugging two hundred bottles of Nyquil HOW)

I'm pretty sure it stole my cryopod and I never got it back.... Beware of the Pegomastax they're very annoying.

Do not carry anything valuable around these things the first time I ever got a pike this pegomastax ambushes me steals my pike and gets away

Really weird thing i noticed.. When i was playing ark and started new save, i noticed pegomastax ran into me, and boom. He is already tamed, he just normally ran into me and i had him already tamed and there was text: NAME YOUR PEGOMASTAX. Can someone tell me how? Because i had nothing in my inventory. Okay maybe stone items and spoiled meat but this was weird.. Maybe its bug or theres a way to tame him like this

I was running around with a full imprinted managramr in a cryopoad and a pegomastask stoke it then killed my mamagramr tip don’t mess with this guys
