Skins are a type of Curio in Don't Starve Together. They are cosmetic items that players can use to customize their Characters. Players can choose their character's Skins when they join a server for the first time, or in-game by activating a Wardrobe. There are five different types of Skins (Body, Hands, Legs, Feet and Heads) All of them are purely cosmetic, and have no effect on gameplay besides visuals. They are stored in the Curio Cabinet in the Wardrobe section, where the player can view their collection and preview skins not yet obtained.

Skins are, alongside Belongings, the only Curios that can be used in the Trade Inn interface, where a player can exchange nine unwanted Skins for a skin of higher Rarity. Distinguished, Elegant, Loyal, Timeless, Event or Heirloom Skins, as well as those with a Woven modifier, cannot be traded in.

Placeholder.png Trivia

In-Game

  • Before the release of the Gorge event, the Victorian skins were leaked. On them, the characters had a slightly different design.
  • The Moonbound Wanda will have different stages of the moon on her forehead depending on her age.
  • Previously, The Moonbound Maxwell's design was slightly different.
  • In The Merrymaker Maxwell Portrait can be found an unused item "Candle".
  • There is a rose on the back of the Shadow Coverall as a symbol of Charlie's relationship.
  • The Friendly Scarecrow can be dressed with all kinds of clothes type Skins by the players.
  • The original description for Wolfgang's Contender skin was "Wolfgang says his prayers and eats his vitamins." This was also his quote for the skin. It seems to be referencing retired wrestler Hulk Hogan's "demandments" which included saying prayers and eating vitamins.
  • The original description for Wes' Contender skin was "He's a lover and a fighter."
  • The description for the Krampwell Head Skin used to be "Maxwell deeply regrets asking the others to choose his costume for him."
  • The Mad Lab Shoes were only added on August 31, 2022, despite the fact that the full set became available a few years earlier. Those who bought any set of skins that included the Wilson’s Mad Scientist skin received a red chest with Mad Lab Shoes upon entering the game. The chest appeared before the player could open the daily gift. Mad Lab Shoes were added in update 520864.
  • Initially, Wigfrid Moonbound Portrait featured a star instead of Alter's symbol. It was changed presumably due to associations with the Star of David. [1]
  • The description for the Obsidian's Armor used to be "Wear this decorative armor while carrying out your obsidious plans."
  • All skins in Halloween Costumes Sets reference one mob from the game. Wilson is Pig Guard, Willow is the Dragonfly, Wolfgang is a MacTusk, Wendy is aLureplant, WX-78 is a Clockwork Rook, Wickerbottom is a Volt Goat, Woodie is a Treeguard, Maxwell is the Krampus, Wes is a Mandrake, Wigfrid is the Deerclops, Webber is a Batilisk, Winona is a Grass Gekko, Warly is a Carrat, Walter is a Bee, Wortox is a No-Eyed Deer, Wormwood is a Saladmander, Wurt is the Toadstool, and Wanda is Clockwork Bishop.
    • The fact that Wes is dressed in a mandrake costume is ironic considering that Wes is always silent, and while the mandrake constantly screams in annoyance.
    • Wormwood in bloom looks like a Ripe version of a Saladmander.
    • Walter's costume refers to his bee allergy.
    • An enhanced Wurt is like an infected Toadstool.
    • Warly's quote towards the Carrat costume is a reference to the Year of the Carrat event.

  • The Untriumphant Maxwell refers to his former self, William Carter. See the William Carter Puzzles for more.
  • The eye of The Triumphant Wormwood is very similar to the eye from the ancient portal. Additionally, one of his six petals is damaged, mirroring one of Alter's six damaged parts.

  • The Verdant Wormwood is very similar to his original concept art designs.
  • In Rhymes with Play #201, it was revealed that Wes's Victorian skin was to have a soot cloud effect when he walked. This was not implemented as it would have made the skin more complex and thus more valuable compared to the others.
  • The Victorian Wurt shows Wurt's transformation from a merm to a furry creature (apparently a goat). This is the opposite of what was shown in The Gorge event, where all players turned into merms upon defeat. The description says she doesn't like fur, but her snow skin description says she's used to fur.
  • The Industrious Winona looks like the uniform of the workers from Voxola.
  • The Uncorrupted Wortox has a similar design to the version before he was cursed in his short.

  • The design and description of MacWolf may refer to his bald original design.
  • In update 577578, The Merrymaker Walter was found in the portrait file of The Merrymaker Wanda.

  1. Tin Can on forums: A friend of mine [who is Jewish] pointed out that the star in Wigfrid's new helm skin [which is visible in her portrait] looks a bit too close to the Star of David and it made them uncomfortable. I suggest changing the shape of the star to be something more like these. both the portrait and skin for reference. note that the resemblance is more apparent in her portrait.
