Coats are the thing Tracks buy. The official fauna pages name a free default for each published animal. Later shop additions sit on top of those defaults.
Defaults
| Animal | Default coat | Tier | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dire Wolf | Basal | Default | Free |
| Saber-tooth Cat | Oak | Default | Free |
| Western Horse | Bay Dun | Default | Free |
| Ancient Bison | Plains | Default | Free |
| Columbian Mammoth | Tule | Default | Free |
| Orcutt's Coyote | Bandito | Default | Free on the fauna page |
| Harington's Pony | Hippus | Default | Free on the fauna page |
Coyote and pony defaults are on the official fauna pages for animals that were still announced as upcoming on June 29, 2026. Seeing Bandito or Hippus on the website does not by itself mean the public menu already sells them.
The ladder
The Tracks article lists Tier Default free, Tier 1 at 300, Tier 2 at 500, Tier 3 at 1000, and Tier 4 at 3000. Individual mutation skins break that ladder. Read the number on the coat.
Fandom coat counts were taken before the January 23, 2026 shop update. That update added the tier 2 Juniper Saber, the tier 2 Moulting Ochre Bison, and three gamepass horses: Bay Dun Few Spot Leopard, Grullo Few Spot Leopard, and Bay Few Spot Leopard. A wiki count of thirteen Smilodon coats or eleven bison coats is a floor, not the live total.
Horse patterns also split into light, mid, and dark variants. That is why an older count jumped from 22 horse patterns to 66 worn variants.
Mutations
These are coat conditions, not a combat buff table. No damage bonus is published for them.
- Leucism: pale coat, blue eyes, pink skin. Dire Wolf and Ancient Bison versions were listed at 395 Tracks. The Smilodon version was staff-only. A leucistic peccary is AI, not a coat you buy, and it pays the large hunt reward.
- Melanism: dark coat. Dire Wolf and Smilodon were listed at 395 Tracks. A Charcoal variant was staff-only.
- Pseudomelanism: heavy dark spotting. Smilodon, listed at 3000 Tracks.
- Erythrism: red or orange cast. Smilodon was listed at 3000 Tracks. The Dire Wolf version was staff-only.
- Piebald: white patches. Dire Wolf, staff-only in that article.
- Leopard complex: horse spotting, from scattered white hairs to a light coat with dark spots. The January 2026 few-spot leopard horses are gamepasses, not Track-tier coats.
Staff and exclusive coats, including the early-access Dire Wolf skin from the Ecos EA badge, are not on the public Track ladder. The Winter Solstice event that ran from December 13 to January 10 sold a Snowflake Leopard Western Horse and let daily quests cut limited skins from 3000 Tracks down to 600, with 30 quests unlocking a limited billboard color. That window is over. Do not expect those prices in October unless the shop shows them again.
What to buy first
Buy a coat for the animal you can already survive on. A Tier 4 saber pattern does not fix a missed front-left pounce, and a horse variant does not mark a predator for you. If you are still unlocking bison or the mammoth, keep the default and spend the first hundreds of Tracks only after the badge you want is done.
