Pegar I D O and others ?

Pegar I D O and others ?

Why does "Pegar" take an IDOP in a sentence like this " Le pegué a el" ? A DOP seems to make more sense, as in " Lo pegué a el". Are there any other verbs that play this kind of trickery ? ( appearing to need a DO rather than a IDO) Other than the usual culprits: Gustar, Molestar, Parecer and so on.

Sorry I some how read it pAgar.

Anyway... Pegar: to hit

When you say.... le pagué un golpe a él

'Golpe' is the direct object and 'él' is the indirect object, because you gave blow to him.
