Mounts in Steal an Egg let you ride your pets across the map instead of sprinting between biomes on foot. To get one, you feed a Shooting Star to any pet in your pen, and that pet becomes a permanent rideable mount. You can earn a free Star from the random nightly Star Drop event or buy up to five per week for 1,399 Robux from Stellaris, the Star Handler NPC at spawn. I’ve tested every step myself and pulled data from the community wiki and top trackers, so here’s everything you need to mount up in October 2026.
| Quick Facts | Details |

| Paid Stars | Stellaris NPC — bundles of 1, 3, or 5; cap of 5 per week |
| Reversible? | No — the transformation is permanent |
| Does it still earn cash? | Yes — mounted pets keep generating money in your pen |
| Dismount key | F (PC) |
What Are Mounts in Steal an Egg?
Mounts arrived in the game’s Update 8 alongside the Shooting Stars event and Nitro Races. Any pet you own can be turned into a rideable companion, and the pet’s own Speed stat carries over to your ride, so a fast pet makes a fast mount. What I like most is that nothing is lost in the trade: a transformed pet still earns money, still counts toward your Pet Index, and can still sit in your pen. The only real cost is the Star itself, and that’s exactly why using it on the right pet matters.
How to Get a Mount in Steal an Egg?
The process takes under a minute once you hold a Star. Follow these steps exactly:
- Earn or buy a Star (methods below).
- Equip the Star from your hotbar.
- Walk up to a pet in your pen until the “Feed Star” prompt appears.
- Confirm on the Apply Star screen — read the warning, then accept.
- Open the equipped pets menu on the right side of the screen.
- Press the green Ride button above Unequip, then press F to dismount on PC.
The Star is consumed the moment you confirm, and there’s no undo button. I’d double-check which pet you’re targeting before that final tap, especially if your pen has several look-alike pets.
How to Get Stars in Steal an Egg?
There are only two reliable ways to get Stars, and smart players stack both.
| Method | How It Works | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Star Drop event | Random chance each in-game night; the sky darkens and a unique Star spawns for every eligible player | Free |
| Star Handler (Stellaris) | Buy bundles of 1, 3, or 5 Stars at spawn; shop restocks every Saturday | 1,399 Robux for 5 (weekly cap) |
Star Drop Event (Free)
The Star Drop (some players call it Starfall) can trigger any night, and each in-game day runs roughly five minutes. When it hits, every player who has been in the server since the start of that in-game day is guaranteed their own Star — there’s no fighting over it. The catch is eligibility: join mid-event or server-hop looking for one, and you get nothing. My routine is simple: pick a server, stay through at least one full night cycle, and collect whatever falls. Patience pays better than hopping.
Star Handler NPC (Robux)
If you’d rather skip the wait, Stellaris sells Stars near spawn. The hard cap is five Stars per week, resetting on Saturday, so even big spenders can’t brute-force a full pen of mounts in one day. Buying one or three Stars is possible, but the five-pack is the only bundle worth considering if you’re paying at all.
Best Pets to Turn Into Mounts
Here’s the part most guides skip: your mount’s speed comes from the pet’s Speed stat, and that stat scales wildly across biomes. Community-tracked data from the IGN wiki shows the gap clearly, so Star your fastest pet, not your flashiest earner — remember, the pet keeps making money either way.
| Pet | Speed Stat | Rarity | Biome |
|---|---|---|---|
| ArchAngel / World Burner | +600M | Divine | Angels & Demons |
| Pegasus / Skeleton Horse | +200M | Eternal | Angels & Demons |
| RazorFang / Gargoyle / Centaur / Pure Jellyfish | +90M | Secret | Angels & Demons |
| Nightflame | +6.8M | Divine | Titan Temple |
| Kitsune | +6.5M | Divine | Cherry Blossom |
| Unicorn | +2.4M | Divine | Cosmic |
| Mosasaurus | +600K | Eternal | Prehistoric |
Early-game players shouldn’t overthink it. A Brr Brr Patapim or Axolotl is a massive upgrade over riding a Chicken, and you can always spend future Stars on better pets as you unlock deeper biomes.
Mount Rules and Mistakes to Avoid
Three things trip players up constantly. First, the transformation is one-way — no item, NPC, or Robux package reverses it, so treat every Star as final. Second, server hopping during a Star Drop disqualifies you from that night’s free Star, so settle into one server before night falls. Third, this game has no codes: the developer group Collect Rare Pets has never released one, and there’s no redeem box in the menus, so ignore any site claiming otherwise. Your free head start is the rewards panel instead — liking the game, favoriting it, and joining the group pays out a combined 10,000 Speed.
Pro Tips to Get More From Your Mount
- Run Nitro Races for free speed gear. Races fire every 30 minutes, first place pays 2,500 Trophies, and the 1.25x Speed Booster costs just 375 Trophies. The Racing Bat (10,000 Trophies) is a permanent flex.
- Pre-position before egg resets. Biome eggs refresh every in-game night, roughly every five minutes, so ride to the next biome’s nests a minute early and be first in line when new eggs spawn.
- Race pets ride without a Star. The Win Pass tracks wins, not Stars — Race Seahorse lands at 1 win, and Engine Snail at 30.
- Complete your Pet Index. Index milestones grant extra Speed and money boosts, which stack with your mount’s pace.
- Time your Robux. Buy Stars on Saturday right after the restock to squeeze maximum value from the weekly cap.
FAQs
How do you get Mounts in Steal an Egg?
Feed a Shooting Star to any pet in your pen. The Star is consumed and the pet becomes a permanent, rideable mount that still earns money.
How do you get free Stars in Steal an Egg?
Stay in one server through an in-game night and wait for the Star Drop event. Every player present since the day started gets a guaranteed Star.
Can you undo a mount or reuse a Star?
No. Each Star works once, the transformation is permanent, and there’s currently no way to revert a pet back to normal.
Do mounts still generate money?
Yes. Transformed pets keep earning cash in your pen exactly like before, so mounting never costs you income.
Why can’t I ride my pet?
You must feed it a Star first. Then open the equipped pets menu on the right and press the Ride button — F dismounts on PC.
