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.

Tame 2 1 m and 1 f low level and breed for desire

I play ark mobile on Brutal difficulty(xp gain is nonexistent and wild creatures go up to level 450) and this has been my most valuable tame since I started. Yes, it is a coward, but it is crazy useful. Mine is level 407 after taming, and it has survived EVERYTHING the game has thrown at it so far. I highly recommend taming one as soon as you start the game(not difficult to do and I tamed mine while at level one.) Here are the main advantages:

1: Tanky, so you can use it to take attacks from something while trying to knock it unconscious. Also, you

don't really need to worry about it dying if yours is a decent level,(A level 50 one can have about a thousand health in the wild and might gain a lot more after taming if you are lucky.

2: Crazy good at gathering resources(In a resource rich area, mine collected almost 5000 thatch, a thousand wood and a thousand berries in the span of 3 in game days. Set it to wander if you want it to go collect things for you)

3: Surprisingly strong. While attempting to tame a knocked out stego, accidently killed it with a single attack(Around 300 damage, and yes, I know mine is a ridiculously high level, but my level 40 one with mate boost and a few points in melee hits for about 80).

4: Because they're pretty easy to tame and pretty light on resources to do so, even if it is a high level one (mine only took around 11 berries and a good deal of patience.) You get a lot out of taming one, and because they are easy to get, they are a must have for new players.

Moschops are really great at gathering fiber if your playing on mobile just let it follow and let it stop on the top of a fern, jungle fern or other plants they gather a lot of fiber.

They farm everything you need. Super easy to tame just walk up and see what he wants to be fed. Best way to farm Large eggs early and start a superior kibble farm imo.

If you dismount and whistle attack, this thing will run off like a coward when it's ridden, however, it's a beast

if you put moschops on aggressive on mobile it harvests automatically, although it sees any animal as a threat and will run away so my recommended dino settings to have are following and targeting on low and aggression on aggressive and make sure wandering is on, if they start running, kill any dinos that are close or move away, also make sure they get left in a relatively bushy area.

Best Dino to start with, destroys dilos and do easy to tame. You don't even need a saddle to ride it.

It literally rips trees from the ground

These dude’s are so good, great for farming resources like (fiber, berries, rare flowers, etc) every time I restart, I try to get one of these guys, they can be a bit hard to knock out though, they will also swim away if they have to, but other than that, they’re pretty great!

We bred two moschops they had a baby but the baby died and we harvested the body and

It gave us prime meat!! Someone in the dodo tips said they did the same thing and it gave them prime meat to!! So I think if you harvest

Any baby/ juniville animal with a axe it will give you prime meat ( I think pretty sure)

This is basically your pit bull that never is aggressive… still a good companion.

In ASA they do not run from conflict anymore! They can now be leveled in health and damage to become like guard dogs. I just lost half my dinos in a surprise therizino attack, and one of my moschops dealt the final blow!

The absolute best starter tame. Good weight and can gather basically all the resources needed for a base

Freaking overpowered and underrated. Gathers gathers fiber by the hundreds

I've tamed 2 moschops and they both died from idk so just use a sickle or get a monkey or the chicken of forsaken manicure

Moschops is a good early resource collecter. Build a wall around resources (ferns, trees, etc. no rocks) then put the Moschops in in the area with the walls (or the resources) and it will be incased in walls collecting lots of resources.

I got 77 prime meat from a single paracer on official during 2x using my moschops to harvest and around 50 organic poly per penguin. But be careful, they like to run away. Far!

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.

Without a moschops fiber isn’t very easy to get early game. You have to harvest it with your hands which takes way too long. These guys also help me get narcoberries when I’m crafting narcotics.

Pros

-Easy to Tame Early Game Dinosaur

-Can Ride without Saddle

-Gathers Berries, Fiber, Chitin etc. In large Quantities

-Cute

-Can Focus leveling on one Specific Resource to Gather More of that Resource

Cons

-May take a while to find One that Eats berries
