Best starting dino to tame. Why?
1. You can tame it easily even on your first day.
(You can just look for another Moschop if you don't have the taming food it wants)
2. You can ride it without a saddle.
3. You can use it to gather berries especially Narco Berries for future tames.
4. Good at gathering fibers. You don't need to waste skill points and materials for a sickle.
5. It can also gather thatch and minimal wood.
6. It has specialty skill point stat for bonus gathering % like prime meats, etc.
7. Decent weight, health, stamina and damage.
8. Good for killing Dodos, Dilos and Turtles for their meats and hides.
9. Poop generator for your starter plots.
Imagine having all those on Day 1.

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.
