Check settings first. The keyboard list below is the published PC chart, and one bind changed after that chart was written.
Marking players
The January 23, 2026 Ecos Team note says marking predators or prey from a distance is easier, herbivore call 2 is no longer used to mark players, and the mark-player key is Q by default for new players. Players who already had binds can keep them. Older pages that say herbivores mark with 2 or U describe the previous control.
Carnivores mark prey. On the published chart that bind is Q, which is also the new default mark key. If both jobs land on one key, use the in-game settings list on your account rather than guessing.

Menu rules
The left panel holds Instincts, bio stats, group, billboard, settings, map, and Tracks. Bio stats show diet, mass, group size, and health for the animal you are playing. You cannot return to the menu while bleeding or in combat. During the 10-second logout you are told to stop if you move. Use that logout when a long survival score matters. Quitting the Roblox app mid-fight is how players lose the session they meant to bank.
Scent, blood, and the map
Scent is B. Pack scent can show in blue, other carnivores in red, and herbivores in green. A secondary attack applies bleed, shown as red droplets that come faster as bleed stacks. The minimap and the on-screen Track counter can be turned off in settings. Territory hexes show on the map unless you disable them. Territory info can show species and short group names.
Mobile and controller play are supported because the game is on Roblox across devices. The public chart does not list every touch button, so use the settings screen on that device. A controller option can keep the cursor visible.
Calls
Community call charts gave horses a whinny, snort, whicker, and blow, and they gave bison a bellow and a bawl. Those charts also tied some alert calls to the old mark crosshair. After January 23, 2026, do not expect herbivore call 2 to mark a predator. Use the mark bind in settings.
