Overview
Pegomastax is a small herbivore that functions as a shoulder pet. It uses a special passive taming method where it steals food from your inventory to gain taming progress. This makes it ideal for players seeking a low-maintenance companion that can gather resources while perched. It can be airlifted by Argentavis or Karkinos for fast deployment.
The creature is commonly used to automate berry and seed collection in the field without requiring direct riding.

More about taming the Pegomastax
A wild Pegomastax consumes eligible stolen taming food one item at a time. After taming starts, stolen food adds no progress if its last player owner belongs to another team.
Taming a Pegomastax uses the special passive method. Place your chosen food in the last slot of your inventory and allow the Pegomastax to steal it. Each successful theft grants taming progress. Mejoberry is the best food, though Narcoberry also works. Use a Bola or Bear Trap to immobilize it if needed. The process takes about 15 minutes. Use the calculator below for your settings.

About gathering
While mounted, Pegomastax gathers a wide variety of resources using any of its attacks. It harvests up to 10× yield on Berries, Seeds, Mushrooms, Rare Flowers, Rare Mushrooms, Stimberries, and Wood. It also gathers Cactus Sap and Fiber at 8× efficiency. This makes it a powerful passive gatherer for plant-based resources without needing to dismount.

Combat notes
Pegomastax has a 60% resistance to fire damage, making it highly resilient against fire-based attacks. It takes 120% more damage from instant melee sources, such as spike walls, which are very effective in defensive setups. It is also weak to metal melee, explosions, and piercing projectiles. Level Health and Melee Damage for survivability.
The head has a 3× damage multiplier, making headshots highly effective for faster knockouts. Aim for the head when sedating to reduce taming time.
Can break Thatch. Build at least in Wood.

Tips
- The Bite, Pick-pocket, Jump, and Roar attacks all gather the same resource types at equal efficiency.
- It gathers Berries, Seeds, Rare Flowers, Rare Mushrooms, and Wood at 10× yield.
- Cactus Sap and Fiber are gathered at 8× yield.
- It can be carried by flyers like Argentavis and Quetzal, enabling aerial scouting and mobile gathering.
- Its 60% fire resistance allows it to survive in volcanic or fire-heavy environments better than most small creatures.
- It cannot damage Wood or higher-tier structures, so do not rely on it for base demolition.
