The Mount system in Roblox game Steal an Egg lets you ride any pet across the map instead of sprinting between biomes on foot. The catch: you need a consumable item called a Star to make it happen, and once you use one on a pet, that transformation is permanent. Getting the system right the first time matters, so here's everything you need to know.
How do mounts work in Steal an Egg?
Mounts are pets that have been transformed using a Star. Once transformed, you can ride them around the map to reach different biomes faster. The mount still counts as a pet and can still be placed in your Pen, so you're not losing functionality by converting one.
The key detail most players miss: Stars are consumed on use. One Star turns one pet into one mount. There's no undoing it either, so picking the right pet before you feed it a Star is worth a moment of thought. Check the complete eggs, pets, and income rates breakdown before deciding which pet to commit.
How to get Stars in Steal an Egg
There are two ways to get Stars, and one of them is free.
The Star Drop Event
The Star Drop Event spawns at night in-game and has a small random chance to trigger each night cycle. Since each in-game day lasts roughly 5 minutes, the event can technically appear every 5 minutes, though it's not guaranteed.
When the event fires, a unique Star spawns somewhere on the map for every active player. There's no competition here: your Star belongs to you, and nobody else can take it. Find it, bring it back to your base, and it's yours.
Buying Stars with Robux
If you'd rather not wait on RNG, the Star Handler NPC at the spawn area sells Stars directly. You can buy up to 5 Stars per week from the Shop for 1,399 Robux total. That's the weekly cap regardless of how many Robux you have.

How to use a Star to create a mount
Using a Star is straightforward once you have one:
- Equip the Star from your inventory.
- Approach the pet you want to transform.
- Interact with the Star to activate it.
- The Star is consumed and the pet becomes a permanent mount.
That's the entire process. No crafting table, no special location required.
Which pet should you turn into a mount?
The source material doesn't rank pets by mount utility specifically, but the general logic holds: you want a pet that earns well on its own but won't leave a gap in your active income rotation. A pet sitting idle in your Pen is a better mount candidate than one generating serious money per second.
For context on which pets are worth keeping active versus which ones are reasonable to convert, the beginner strategies guide for Steal an Egg covers the income loop in detail and helps you identify where each pet sits in your progression.
| Method | Cost | Weekly Cap | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Star Drop Event | Free | No hard cap | Must be present at day start; RNG-based |
| Shop (Star Handler NPC) | 1,399 Robux | 5 Stars | Guaranteed; available at spawn area |

What else can you do with strong pets?
If you're building out your roster while grinding for Stars, there are a few systems worth knowing. Double mutations using Boss Tokens and Chemical Bottles can significantly boost a pet's income output before you decide whether to convert it. A double-mutated pet might be too valuable to sacrifice as a mount, which makes the choice easier by elimination.
For everything else in the game, the full Steal an Egg guide collection covers events, progression systems, and income optimization in one place.
