Introducing the Moschops!

[Jen]

A new Dino Dossier has been revealed, this one is everyone’s favourite fleeing foodie, the Moschops!
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=663903001
Common Name: Moschops
Species: Moschops cibumutante
Time: Mid Permian
Diet: Omnivore
Temperament: Cowardly

Wild:

Moschops cibumutante in the wild is a lethargic, cowardly creature that primarily lives in the forests of the island, primarily making its home among the great redwoods of the West. It survives by being extremely flexible in its eating habits and completely averse to fighting. It never starves, since it can eat just about anything. Moschops runs at the slightest provocation, but is still often preyed upon.

Domesticated:

What makes Moschops particularly interesting is what it can be trained to do with its eating habits. With a versatile palate and tough teeth, Moschops can be tamed for a unique ability: over time it can be taught exactly which things to gnaw, increasing the likelihood of harvesting that exact resource which its master desires. For example, teach it to prioritize chewing Prime Meat, and Prime Meat will be easier to harvest from the flesh it consumes. Likewise for rare plants materials, and so forth!

Just don't expect Moschops to protect, though. Even after taming, it will quickly flee when enemies are nearby. Regardless of being fed well, increasing its strength, or how much affection you shower on it--Moschops retains its inherent cowardly nature!

New mechanic sounds very interesting, and probably most useful for Fish Prime. Just gonna have to wait until closer to release to find out more about how it will work I guess.

And for those wondering, that's pretty much what all large Permian herbivores looked like more or less. They were kinda fat and stocky looking.

I hope they swim well. Might try black pearls

I'll turn it into a junky by training to eat narco berries only!

oh, so red obelisk goes with redwood forests. neat.

Also, the fleeing kinda sounds like a nice nod to the Carnivores 2 version of moschops

Hmmm...so redwoods will be in the West...

Everyone with a base out west better start putting their most valued stuff in temporary storage to the east just in case...

It appeared in a hunting simulator several years back - Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter

I doubt this can gather wood or black pearls like some folks are auggesting here. If you read the dossier it clearly says that it can only collect what it eats. So berries, flowers, mushrooms and meat is probably the only thing it can gather.

It might be worth to take along when you are hunting with a carnivorous Dinosaur, so this reptile can gather as much prime meat as possible. You would have to keep it on follow though otherwise i think you will quickly lose sight of it if it runs away each time. Perhaps it is like the running mechanic that is currently in the game, where it will come back to you after a minute or something.

Red wood. Wood that is red.

A cowardly dino, but can be hyper specialized to harvest certain items.

Useful for hunting down rare flowers and mushroom and or similar items.
