Utility Tips
What is a moschops used for? moschops battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
This guy is my favorite dino to start. It can farm LOTS of fiber, chitin, berries, rare mushrooms, rare flowers, polymer, etc. And it has a considerably good melee and health. But people don't see its value just because its a big coward iguana... Lmao. But for real, they're really one of the best dinos to get at the beginning, if not the best. Give this an up to let people know.
Moschops is literally one of the best chitin and polymer farmers, if not the best. Kill trilobites with it and you'll see how much chitin it gets (and a bit of oil and pearls too). I spent the last hour killing trilobites with Potato (my Moschops) and got two chests full of chitin. Apparently people don't know this so give it an up to let everyone know.
how to tame and use moschops:
step 1: locate the moschops
step 2: feed it it's desired food
step 3: get angry because it wants cooked prime
step 4: exit and re-enter ark
step 5: hop back on and hope it wants mejo/tintoberries
repeat steps 3-5 if needed
step 6: tame the moschops
now you have a big iguana sitting around.
after taming, use it to kill members of its own against will
or maybe even trap multiple females to exploit their ability to create superior kibble with their eggs
or just use it as a fiber/berry gatherer
don't forget about those harvesting levels by the way. level in something, take your little buddy with you, and harvest, trust me it can be worth it
recommended stats to level: weight, health, melee (if being used to fight)

Arguably my favourite fiber gatherer. It has a secondary levelling system used for specific resources. Each point you can apply to that is available after you put in any regular stat points from levelling up. You need to use the secondary attack on a moschops to gain the applied bonuses to said rare resource. I started playing when these guys came out and no one had a clue what they were used for, so now luckily we all know what they do.
