Easiest way to Tame:

It took me too much time to get it, i wasnt paying much attention, i was just trying to smack him to tame him like other dinos, but it was way easier. You just have to go to Moschops and look what they are asking to be tamed(at the top below their name and lvl), if its berries then its super easy, if its something else you just have to put it(anything they are asking for) in quick access slot, and feed it, then wait until it ask again to be feeded, do this and Boom! you have your coward Moachops ready XD.

(Same technique can be used for few other dinos)[few? Idk i just noticed 2-3 dinos that asks to be tamed like this, btw i am newbark player :) ]

For Gathering Resources:

Just put it to Wandering, and if they are still folowing you just Whistle "Stop" for them only and see they'll go for resources :). Then just collect resources from their inventory time to time as your need.

Also, as far as i read, you cant Ride them on Mobile version.

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!

how to tame and use moschops:

step 1: locate the moschops

step 2: feed it it's desired food

step 3: get angry because it wants cooked prime

step 4: exit and re-enter ark

step 5: hop back on and hope it wants mejo/tintoberries

repeat steps 3-5 if needed

step 6: tame the moschops

now you have a big iguana sitting around.

after taming, use it to kill members of its own against will

or maybe even trap multiple females to exploit their ability to create superior kibble with their eggs

or just use it as a fiber/berry gatherer

don't forget about those harvesting levels by the way. level in something, take your little buddy with you, and harvest, trust me it can be worth it

recommended stats to level: weight, health, melee (if being used to fight)

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.

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.

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.
