You get a mount in Steal an Egg by feeding one Shooting Star to any pet you own. The star is consumed, the transformation is permanent, and the pet becomes fully rideable while still earning money in your pen. Shooting Stars come from two sources: the rare nightly Shooting Star event, or Stellaris the Star Handler, an NPC who sells up to five stars per week for 1,399 Robux.
The Mounts update (Update 8) landed on October 10, 2026, and the Halloween Dimension expansion followed a week later with 18 new pets across three spooky biomes — more riding options than ever. In this guide I’ll break down how to get and ride a mount, every way to grab Shooting Stars, which pets deserve your first star, and the free racer mounts hiding inside the Nitro Race event.
| Steal an Egg Mounts: Quick Facts | Details |
|---|---|
| Requirement | 1 Shooting Star per pet |
| Free source | Shooting Star event (rare chance every in-game night) |
| Paid source | Stellaris the Star Handler – 5 stars/week for 1,399 Robux |
| Speed bonus | None — mounts are cosmetic right now |
| Reversible? | No, the change is permanent |
How to Get a Mount in Steal an Egg?
Turning a pet into a mount takes under a minute once you’re holding a star. Here’s the exact process I follow:
- Get a Shooting Star from the nightly event or the Star Handler shop.
- Equip the star from your inventory.
- Walk up to a pet in your pen and use the feed star prompt.
- Confirm the warning screen — this is your last chance to back out.
- Press the green Ride button in the equipped-pet menu, then hit Dismount (F) whenever you want to hop off.
Two things the official patch notes stress: each mount consumes exactly one Shooting Star, and the process can’t be undone, so choose your pet wisely. The upside is that a mounted pet isn’t removed from your economy — it keeps producing cash per second exactly like before, so the only thing you lose is the star itself.
How to Get Shooting Stars in Steal an Egg?
Stars are the real bottleneck here. Every mount needs one, and there are only two ways to hold one.
Shooting Star Event (Free)
Every in-game night, there’s a rare chance the sky darkens and a Shooting Star event triggers, handing every eligible player in the server a free star. The catch trips up tons of players: you must be in the server from the start of that in-game day to qualify. Server hopping to chase the event does nothing — you’ll watch everyone else celebrate while you get nothing. The event also rolls per server, so camping one server through the night cycle is the actual strategy. Some guides call this the “Star Drop” event; it’s the same thing.
Stellaris the Star Handler (Robux)
Impatient? Stellaris stands at Spawn selling stars directly — up to five per week, with the purchase limit resetting every Saturday. Community guides put the full batch at 1,399 Robux, though prices can shift between patches, so check the shop screen before you pay. My take: the free event works fine if you play most days, and I’d only spend Robux if you want a specific mount right now.
Best Pets to Turn Into a Mount
Any pet can become a mount, so the smart pick comes down to two things: looks and income.
First, the hard truth — mounts currently give zero gameplay bonus. No extra Speed, no carry weight, no guardian advantage. Testing after the October patch confirmed it, and the Halloween Dimension update didn’t change that. Your treadmill grind continues as normal; if you’re optimizing Speed in an egg-stealing game, our Break and Steal an Egg trails guide covers the same upgrade logic in its sister game — just don’t confuse the two, they’re separate experiences.
Because riding reportedly requires the pet to be equipped in your pen, a low earner is a wasted star. Feed your star to a high-income pet you plan to keep forever, since nobody has confirmed what happens to mount status if you fuse or sell the pet later. For pure style, natural saddle candidates include Pegasus and Skeleton Horse (Eternal), plus Centaur and Stag (Secret) — and the new Graveyard, Haunted Swamp and Abandoned Manor biomes just added 18 fresh candidates worth a look.
Nitro Race Event: Free Racer Mounts
Update 8 also shipped the Nitro Race event, and it’s the only place to earn exclusive racer mounts without spending Robux.
A race starts every 30 minutes, and the server announcement tells you which biome hosts the portal. Everyone races an Ostrich across three laps stuffed with boost strips and power-ups, and there’s no minimum Speed requirement — a brand-new account can race alongside a late-game one. Winning pays 1 Win plus 2,500 Trophies, which you spend in the Racing shop:
| Racing Shop Item | Cost |
|---|---|
| Nitro Mutation | 475 Trophies |
| 2x Cash Booster (10 min) | 275 Trophies |
| 1.25x Speed Booster (5 min) | 375 Trophies |
| 2x Treadmill Booster (10 min) | 375 Trophies |
| Racing Bat (permanent) | 10,000 Trophies |
Every win also pushes the Win Pass forward, unlocking five exclusive racer pets: Seahorse Racer (1 win), Lizard Racer (5), Bird Racer (15), Cheetah Racer (21) and Snail Racer (30). Hatch them and they work as race mounts. I’d lock in the Seahorse and Lizard first — those milestones are cheap before the grind gets brutal.
Common Mounting Mistakes to Avoid
- Using a star on a pet you’ll fuse or sell — the effect is permanent and fusion behavior is unconfirmed.
- Server hopping for stars — you only qualify if you were in the server when the in-game day began.
- Expecting a speed boost — mounts are cosmetic, so treadmill upgrades still rule progression.
- Mounting a low earner — if the pet isn’t equipped in your pen, you can’t ride it.
- Hoarding Trophies — the Racing shop reportedly rotates, so grab the permanent Racing Bat and Nitro Mutation before the lineup disappears.
FAQs
How do you get mounts in Steal an Egg?
Feed one Shooting Star to any pet in your pen. The pet permanently transforms into a rideable mount, and the star is consumed in the process.
How do you get Shooting Stars for free?
The Shooting Star event has a rare chance to trigger every in-game night. Stay in the server from the start of that in-game day and you’re guaranteed a star whenever it fires.
Do mounts make you faster in Steal an Egg?
No. As of the October 2026 patch, mounts are purely cosmetic — no Speed, carry weight or combat bonuses. Keep training your treadmill the normal way.
Can you undo a mount in Steal an Egg?
No. The official patch notes confirm the process can’t be reversed and the star is consumed, so pick a pet you intend to keep long-term.
Do mounted pets still earn money?
Yes. A mounted pet keeps generating cash per second in your pen exactly like before, so mounting costs you nothing except the star.
