To tame a Pegomastax, place the food you want it to steal in your last inventory slot. Let the Pegomastax steal from you — it will eat the food and gain taming progress. Repeat until fully tamed. Mejoberries and crops work well.
Found throughout the ARKs, the Pegomastax is a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It falls within the Shoulder Pet classification.
