game: Carnivores 1 / 2

Moschops (misspelled “Moshops” in Carnivores 2) is a four-legged herbivorous synapsid that is featured as an ambient animal in Carnivores, Carnivores 2, and Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter. A very abundant large herbivore, it can often be found grazing across suitable habitats of FMM UV-32 using its short chisel-like teeth well suited for cropping vegetation. A very unique beast, Moschops’ hind legs extended straight down like mammals’, while its front legs extended outward and than downward like a reptile. Very skittish, this animal will flee at the first sign of danger. Moschops’ diet is mostly plants, although it will occasionally eat meat in times of hunger.
