Tips & Strategies
At higher levels with at least 2.5k health and melee it is the most unexpectedly useful small cave mount. It has a huge attack radius, including directly behind it, and if you pump up it’s melee it can 1 shot a flock of bats or piranha in a single bite. High torpidity pool and drop, regains health rather quickly as well. Oh, did I mention it can gather around 300 chitin per spider harvested? About double that much from Arthropleura. Dump points into prime meat harvesting and you’re gonna be FULL of prime to tame carnivores. Just make sure to NEVER dismount mid-fight and bring a strong shoulder mount as insurance in case you get pounced off by something. You’re welcome.
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.
It is one of the only 11 dinos that can harvest fibre (excluding the megachelon), and it’s the best among them. It is a very early game tame, I tame him at before level 10 every time I start a run. He does not need a saddle to ride. Hope this helped and wish y’all a great day.

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.
