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.

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.

YOU CANT RIDE THESE IN ARK MOBILE, BE AWARE!

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.

You can not ride on mobile I am mad

If you think about it maschops are kind of of like dogs i meen "dog" digs up a bone "maschops" eats ferns and banana plants and zamia bushes and regular bushes but my point is if you pet a dog they wag there tails and maschops do the same thing if you up grade it they wag there tails and hop from feet to feet

Don’t make it listen to group whistles. If you whistle a target it will run off. You’ll have to keep an eye on it. After that, whistle stop on it and/or follow. Oh, and if you see Simon make sure to tell him it’s safe now and come home.

These guys are good for farming,cuz u can upgrade how much they can harvest for a type of thing , and idk why anyone says they are useless, this guys are basicalyy monsters , i got in a fight with a 154 lvl argentavis and my moschops was 60 with 400% dmg , he beat the argentavis and still had more than a half of his hp. So i dont understand why anyone says it s useless. like so more people can see it 😁

If you look at the harvest rates on Dododex you will see how good this is and it has amazing stats I have one with 5000 health and deals 300 attack and you can ride them AND they are a passive tame
Only bad thing is they run away if you order them to “attack this target”

- Gathers fiber
- Gathers LOADS of fiber
- Rideable
- As strong as a raptor
- Good Weight for early game
- Lays large eggs
- Spawns frequently
- Passive Tame
This is THE early game dino, tame one if you can, it'll be worth it.

Be sure to keep them wandering (in a safe spot mind you), as every time they find berries in the bushes and harvest them, they’re earning exp, which means that they will level faster and can have points attributed to health, storage and speed, which are the essentials of this species. A working Moschops is a happy Moschops!

Yall over here talking about fiber but one i had tamed literally twenty seconds after being put on wandering it got over 130 thatch from one tree-

They’re GREAT for getting wood, thatch, berries, seeds, and fiber! just set to wander and check in every so often and there you go. I have 5 roaming around my base and i never have to cut down trees etc. (this is on mobile btw)

Feeding it what you want it to gather has NO EFFECT on its father rates. These are determined by the additional level granted every level to increase your moschops' gathering efficiency of your chosen resource.

Best for if you need fast polymer for crafting. I have used this countless times to make all the industrial equipment. But only level up health and weight and put the gathering levels into polymer. Mines at 530% and I get 50 polymer per penguin. 👍

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.

Specialists are best. Put points into weight and hp. Melee does not affect gathering rates.
