ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies

This is the most underrated beginner tame. A rideable tame that doesn’t require a saddle, and usually found on the beach (a safe place!). Some can be tamed passively with just a few mejoberries. Harvests fiber, thatch, wood, berries, rare mushrooms/flowers, leech blood, and even sap! Has a harvest wheel that allows them to gather specific resources (like the Theri). A must-have for beach bobs.
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. 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.
Btw for those who don't know, they used to be unrideable in the previous ark mobile "Ark survival evolved" but now in ark ultimate they are rideable by the player.
Also try to tame one of these early game to be really set on any future dino you want to tame. If there is a farmable resource out there,this guy will farm it.
