Fun fact: moschops was more closely related to humans than it is to dinosaurs

If you have an army of moschops, put them on wander around an area with lots of bushes and you’ll have plenty of fiber and mejoberries. It will save you some time for trying to tame a therizinosaur to gather fiber.

Moschops are one of the best ways to collect berries early to mid-game, well at least I think so. When you tame them you should upgrade weight, speed, and stamina, if you are using them for harvesting. Easy to tame since they are passive. Some require things like rare flowers. If you want to tame one that needs rare flowers or something like that, then check back next time you play because their food changes over time. And one final thing, on mobile you can't ride them. I played on console then I got mobile, tamed one, then realized it was pretty much useless for me. But still one of the best early tames and I would recommend taming one if you are just starting out. Thanks for reading!

MOSCHOPS

1. Great farmer

Easily gets you hundreds of berries and fiber. Great with thatch as well.

2. Early tame

Moschops gives you a passive tame that you could ride instantly without a saddle.

3. Great for beginners

Great for early game and beginners to ARK

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.

Apparently people have been down voting the moschops but i assure it is the best at gathering polymer

Wwwhhhhhyyyyyyyyy can u not ride these in mobile

Here’s a useful tip to gather stuff safely with the moschops in ark mobile ( cuz no riding ) So make it go to a tree or bush and make it stop whistle and then it will break it! You can do this multiple times and then put him somewhere safe afterwards!

These moschopies have just eaten a dead carbonemys.they also destroyed a palm and I got a lot of resources.Really cool lizards

Good tame for beginners, I always tame one of these :3

This is by far the best gatherer of organic polymer. Carry the moschops to a frozen island with penguins. Put it on follow. Create a whisle group and whisle with the (Xbox) Lb down d-pad while looking at a corpse. It will collect the penguin corpse. Do not do this whisle in your base.

Why can’t ride on mobile game

The single best early tame! You could basically get them as soon as you leave the character creation. With a little bit of luck berries will be enough to tame one up. Get some mushroms and flowers in the swamp if you want to increase your chances. Less than 5min of work and you got yourself a survivable, decently hard hitting and quick enough mount that doesnt require a sadle. As the cherry on top it can gather every plant and dino recource there is. Use it to get your narcotic production started which is going to xp boost you up to crossbow levels in no time from where you can comfortable tame whatever you like. It is the ultimate kickstarter for your playthrough.

Dododex pls equal the pelegornis and moschips it may not attack but for penguin farms the moschops is so much better

The one I was taming wanted cooked prime meat not just raw

You can ride an ark mobile, not generic crappy old version

Moschops cannot be ridden on mobile. However, this doesn’t make it useless since it can still harvest loads of stuff. Whistle it to follow you, lead it to the thing you want harvested and then whistle it to stop. Then it’ll harvest whatever is in front of it.

Hope this was useful info.

Good early game Dino. Didn’t pay attention to mine for awhile but still fed al lvled up. Just realized when from lvl 5 to lvl 30 in like 6 game days. Has 1183.7 health and 285.7 Melee 😳

Easy tame, no saddle, great harvester, what more do you want P.S if it wont take berrys kill it

I can’t ride it on ark mobile idk why but I can’t
