This is a must have tame! I got knocked out bye a troodon and this guy stormed in and destroyed it! Upgrade melee damage and movement speed
Moschops
The Moschops is a omnivorous therapsid best known for its love for food. Survivors can train it to favour specific types of food — whether it be Prime Meat or Rare Flowers — and it will become more effective at gathering it. The Moschops is a very cowardly creature and will flee from any sight of danger.
Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Moschops in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
They can also be knocked out and fed berries. But it takes AGES.
When taming their random I found one that want cook Prime of fish and I found another one that wants tintobarry so so bring everything that it likes to eat because there’s a chance it will change enough so you can’t knock it out and tame it that way
Only take Berry’s and that’s all they’ll want
Hi Dododex,
I’m on ARK Mobile, and tried to tame a Moschops. I had all the taming food listed, but none of the foods, were accepted as ‘Taming Food’. Next I tried berries and raw meat, including raw prime meat and raw prime fish meat, but none of them worked. Pleased it…

Very good for early game harvesting and can hold its own against small predators eg Dilos and Piranhas. Can be hard or easy to tame depending on the taming speed multiplier. Not much utility outside of early game.
Kill it if it’s taming food isn’t dead simple.
Also looking for official tribe members, contact my Xbox @ NinjaSkwidXD
You should never EVER tame one of these things, I once tamed it and I want it to attack a dodo or something, I don’t remember, but instead it ran off, and when I killed that creature, this idiot came back and started chewing on the dead body of the creature.
I got sooo lucky when taming a lvl 250 all I needed was Tinto berries THATS ALL I’m so #blessed.
Depending on the level and when you come up to it depends on what it eats. It will eat just about anything ranging from prime fish meat to berries to Giant Bee Honey. It’s a passive tame and might take a while so don’t stray too far!
If your trying to kill them have a bola and a spear
You can ride them. the gather rating here on thatch is underrated, I had a 150 and gathered so much thatch with it over encumbered me in less than 10 minutes may have been over 50k thatch in 10 minutes.
For Some while now these can be used as mounts, not that they are fast or any useful, but it can be a very good early game escape mount. And they don’t require saddle
You can now ride Moschops and you don't even need a saddle. They are fairly quick and can attack only when mounted.

Accidentally tamed a lvl 50 one with 1000+ melee and it got killed by a lvl 4 spino because of the high amount of knockback
I fed a level 50 one with a mejoberry and this beast killed trokes with one hit
You can tame it by knocking it out, too. A bola helps. A LOT.
So for low levels, just scout the beach till you find a Moschops that eats Mejoberrys. Tame it, and it will for ever be your friend (except if you ar attacking a Dino).
The moschops is a good first mount as it is rideable without a saddle. While not nearly as fast as a raptor or anything else for that matter, it is still a good first mount for gathering and transportation in general.
It is now rideable and gathers a lot of fibre!
