Emotes are a type of Curio in Don't Starve Together that allows the player to have their character perform an action by typing the corresponding command into the chat. Several commands can be used by default, such as: /happy, /angry, /no, /bonesaw, /dance, /facepalm, /joy, /kiss, /pose, /rude, /cry, /wave, /sit, /squat, /toast, /pet, and /bigpet. Some of these commands (such as dance, sit, and squat) are looped and will continue playing until the characters move or are hit.

Domesticated Beefalo also have their own set of emotes when mounted by a character; likewise, Woby has her own emotes when mounted by Walter. The mounts will mimic whatever emote the player types in the chat. However, mounts don't have pose or wave emotes, so they will simply stand still when the player uses those commands.

Some default Emotes have alternate commands, listed in the table below in parentheses underneath the main command.

Placeholder Trivia

Wilson Dabs

Wilson performing the 'Dab' emote

  • The emote /bonesaw and its alternate commands (/ready, /goingnowhere, /playtime, /threeminutes) are a reference to the 2002 Spider-Man film. The commands originate from quotes by the character Bonesaw McGraw: "Bonesaw is ready!" and "Hey freak show! You're going nowhere. I got you for three minutes. Three minutes of playtime."
  • When Maxwell's shadow puppets are idling, they do the same emotes as Maxwell.
  • There is an unused 'Dab' emote in the animation files used for one of Klei's tweets that can be activated, like all other player animations, using commands in the Console. The command is: ThePlayer.AnimState:PlayAnimation("emote_dab_pre")or "emote_dab_loop" or "emote_dab_pst"
  • The Sleepy Emote's old description was "You are getting very sleepy..."
  • The /toast emote was added during the Winter's Feast event of 2019.
  • The Yawny Jammies Ensemble used to be called the Purple Jammies Ensemble.
  • The /rude emote resembles the Bras d'honneur, a rude gesture most common in Romance-speaking parts of the world.
