Lox are slow and have poor visual range. They tend to respawn in the same spots each time creatures can respawn after being cleared out so where ever they were standing when you first saw them is where you should place a few camp fires or a work bench or 2. Then they won't respawn there. Any lox that then spawn will do so at the next nearest lox spawn point.

Alternatively you can waste quite a bit of time and tame the ones that are there. They won't wander far from the spawn point and new wild ones won't spawn there as long as the tame ones are on the spawn point.

I always aim to place the fire and workbench specifically to make a "enemy spawn safe" area for my portal and boat so it won't be attacked, though loxes do regardless. Like i said, there was no way for me to know they would spawn there as they spawn after everything else, making you think it's safe, but you come back, and there's 3 loxes attacking your boat.

And i'd argue that loxes are not slow at all, even when "inspecting" they are far faster than you walking. Not sure when but i imagine they buffed them when they added the ability to ride them.
