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.

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

If ya wanna tame one of these thangs ya gotta let it STEAL SOME BERRIES after it steals some wait a little then NAME YOUR PEGOMASTAX will pop up! You can only tame it when awake.

Below it says not able to be picked up by ptere but I picked it up with mine

These guys are a passive tame and if you want to tame these guys, you have to allow them to steal berries from your inventory. Don't attack them.

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

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

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.

Where do you find these guys on ark mobile

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

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

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

Put some thing in the last slot of your inventory the pego will be forced to grab it

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

This can steal everything except yo girl.

It has negative rizz.

Put berries in your last slot and let it steal them (for a faster tame put mejoberries in last slot!) if you don't know what the last slot is its the last box in your hot bar

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…

to tame one, just put a mejoberry in the last slot and let it steal you, repeat this process until it tames

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

They suck. No noobing around them.🤗🤣

Unless you want to be like me…
