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.

Can’t ride in ark mobile

The best beginner fiber collector. Set it to wandering and near ferns and the next day you’ll have more than 2 stacks of fiber.

The Moschops is in my opinion the best starter dino, on a new survivor I always make finding this guy my first priority….reasons?

1. No saddle needed.

2. Can quickly gather the essentials like fibre/thatch/berries…

3. They’re actually rather fearsome when ridden, they can easily fight off dilo’s and wrestle with trikes/turtles…..if you tame a higher level Moschops and level in melee and hp you can comfortably engage with bigger threats like raptors and carno.

4. Eating one Trilobite provides enough Chitin to make a Petra saddle….which is usually my second priority on a new survivor.

5. Can be tamed with just a few Tinto or Mejoberry….if it wants something ridiculous like honey just save/reload until you get the easy option…

6. Moschops will always tame at 100% effectiveness as you either have what it wants or you don’t.

Cons: It’s pretty slow but still significantly safer than travelling on foot. Its stamina regen is painfully slow.

Summary: A Moschops will allow you to hit the ground running during your first day or two on the ark. Their ability to collect a wide range of resources while keeping you safe from threats is everything you need in a starter mount.

If you raise your Moschops for battle you may be surprised at just how powerful they can be….the base damage of their bite is 32 and has a fairly wide AOE….my Warchops has successfully fought Rex and Spinos and demolished countless Raptors.

Never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, EVER, whistle attack target on a Dino that isn't dead. It will run off, never to be seen again.

Why has ark forsaken us

This creature you can't ride in mobile

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.

Fun fact Moschops are really good fiber harvesters

You can ride them now in the Ultimate Ark Mobile🙌

Simply the best dinossaur on early game, it great to take berries and has a good damage, if you tame one with good health and damage status, it will can tank everything, i killed a therezinosaurus, carno and raptors with one with wild lvl 70 also it dont need saddle
