Tips & Strategies
When sending these guys out to gather, go to herbivore island (the one in the southeast where you must use an Ichthyosaurus or a raft and not the one near the red obelisk) or you run the risk of them dieting to predators. Believe me, I currently have one named Rusty (for his color pattern), and he’s got 1216 health currently. He was attacked by a Spino while he was innocently gathering berries for me one day, and he continued to gather from trees while attacked accidentally biting the Spino as he did so, doing about 200 damage each bite. This MASSIVE amount of damage was enough to scare away the Spino after about 5 or 6 bites, and then my scorpion chased it until it ran to the water for safety in an act of surrender. If you don’t have access to rafts or Ichthyosaurus (do the quest to tame one to get a saddle for it) then do your research on the island’s regions and then find a safe region so your Moschops can gather in peace. Thanks for reading.
More Moschops Utility Tips
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.
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.
That creature is a total monster on damage, it's damage is comparable to s rex, its easy to tame, and grinds a LOT of fiber a LOT of mejo a LOT of meat like this animal isn't from this world (if you ride it it's a rex level but if ur not riding it and whistle attack its a total coward)
