Overview
Moschops is a medium-sized omnivore farmed for its exceptional gathering abilities. It features a unique specialization system that improves harvest yields from key resources as it levels. This makes it a top choice for players focused on efficient, high-volume resource farming. It can be airlifted by Argentavis, Desmodus, Karkinos, Megalosaurus, Kaprosuchus, Quetzal, or Tusoteuthis for rapid deployment to remote nodes.

More about taming the Moschops
It asks for one specific food at a time and will only take that. The moment you feed it, it picks another one at random, so bring a stack of everything it might want rather than planning around a single item.
Taming a Moschops uses a special passive method requiring multiple food types. It accepts Sap, Giant Bee Honey, Leech Blood, Rare Mushrooms, Rare Flowers, Organic Polymer, and raw or cooked variations of Meat, Prime Meat, and Prime Fish Meat. Notably, it also eats Berries. Each feeding changes its current food preference. Use the calculator below for your settings.

Combat notes
Moschops has a notable vulnerability to instant damage effects, taking +120% more damage from them. It is also weak to melee attacks from metal weapons, explosions, and piercing projectiles. Avoid placing it in high-damage zones without support.
The Moschops has a head hitbox multiplier. Targeting the head deals 1.5× damage, making it effective for faster knockouts. Focus headshots when sedating.
Can break Thatch and Wood. Build at least in Stone.

Tips
Each level increases harvest yield for Sap, Prime Meat, Prime Fish Meat, Rare Flowers, Rare Mushrooms, Leech Blood, and Organic Polymer by 3.521%. The specialization applies passively while gathering with the appropriate resource type. Moschops harvests up to 6× Chitin, Fiber, Mushroom, and Rare Mushroom per hit. It also gains 3.169% increased weight capacity per level for these specialized resources. It can be carried by Argentavis or Quetzal for mobile farming ops. Its high vulnerability to instant damage makes it risky in combat zones.
