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.

Tip for beginners: if you tame one of these and set it on wander, it will harvest nearby trees and bushes. I got a TON of fiber and berries this way.

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.

So I tamed one on my 2nd day on ark. It was a level 90. It is definitely helpful for people just starting out because if you set it to wander it collects a good amount of fiber, berries, wood, and thach. I recommend it to anyone starting out because it can be a great help getting those resources that you need.

So if you attack or aim ( I can't remember) on a bush it gives you so many berries much more than when you harvest it normally

These tames are excellent in early game for mass harvesting nacro berries in preparation for tranquilizer arrows, although sometimes they can eat alot of what they harvest. Best for using to harvest resources around your base, they're slow and not very good for scouting.

Level up weight, it pays off because they're too efficient harvesters for their own good. And have a plan for all the hordes of fiber they can harvest, my chests were quickly filled with fiber!

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

Tbh, almost useless on mobile

But on the PC (as you can ride them),

Really useful, to farm about anything

A litteral early thery...

Gotta love these dudes, powerfull, tank, and gatherer. However never breed them, they will be useless. I learnt that the hard way when i hade nine moschops and a powerfull feeling. I went to the swamp… i wanted more power and yes i did kill most enemies and demolished kapros… i got stuck under my army and a spino came near us… let me say i came back on one weak moschops that day…

When sending these guys out to gather, go to herbivore island (the one in the southeast where you must use an Ichthyosaurus or a raft and not the one near the red obelisk) or you run the risk of them dieting to predators. Believe me, I currently have one named Rusty (for his color pattern), and he’s got 1216 health currently. He was attacked by a Spino while he was innocently gathering berries for me one day, and he continued to gather from trees while attacked accidentally biting the Spino as he did so, doing about 200 damage each bite. This MASSIVE amount of damage was enough to scare away the Spino after about 5 or 6 bites, and then my scorpion chased it until it ran to the water for safety in an act of surrender. If you don’t have access to rafts or Ichthyosaurus (do the quest to tame one to get a saddle for it) then do your research on the island’s regions and then find a safe region so your Moschops can gather in peace. Thanks for reading.

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.

Really useful if u want fiber,berries or thauth and its the easiest along with dodo to tame as it doesn’t attack u even if u hit it and if u want to tame it u just need to give it berries by putting it in ur selection inventory not the inventory but instead the bar and cliking on it and u only need 2 or more mejoberries or the red hberries and they are op to build a house for beginners and also other stuff

Honestly I think it’s underrated. Great for harvesting wood, thatch, fiber, berries and rockcarrots. They also usually get at least 100 health every time you level it up, and melee damage is pretty good, too

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.

This guy is one of the best starter Dino’s, it’s smaller but quick and nimble and it can harvest just about anything you really need to get early on in the game. It’s also pretty easy to tame just having a rare mushroom in the last slot.

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.

Arguably my favourite fiber gatherer. It has a secondary levelling system used for specific resources. Each point you can apply to that is available after you put in any regular stat points from levelling up. You need to use the secondary attack on a moschops to gain the applied bonuses to said rare resource. I started playing when these guys came out and no one had a clue what they were used for, so now luckily we all know what they do.

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-

When you tame it, place him/her somewhere with bushes and small trees. Then put your friend on wander, he will now collect berries, seeds, fiber, tach and wood. :D
