Fighting
Grabs & Pounces
You can buck off latching dinosaurs by holding the E key while standing still. It does require stamina.
Update 6.5: Pouncers are no longer stunned when they miss a pounce. Certain dinosaurs may be able to attack you while you are on their back.
Knockdowns & Knockbacks
Some dinosaurs such as the Carno can knock you down by charging you (Alt + Right Click) or a galli's dashing kick can knock you down if you are small enough.
During this fight video you can see a carno charge knocking down the Teno.
Staggers
Teno tail slam & Rear kick are just a few of the skills that will cause you to stagger. Stopping you in your tracks and making you an easier target to finish off. Be sure to avoid those dinosaurs who have stagger effects.
In the video you can see early on what happens to a carno who gets hit by the tail. He is stunned and almost gets killed by a second teno.
Tip: Careful of the herbivore tails they can cause massive damage if not stun you.
Update 6.5: Stagger Effects have been removed from all attacks except: Carno Charge, Pachy Alt Attack, Teno Rear Kick & Teno Tail Slam

Bite & Spit Effects
Most dinosaurs in the isle have some effect they can do. Depending on how they are designed. Some may be able to put you under the bleed effect, venom, blindness, or even a bacterial bite that makes you throw up your stomach.
These types of attacks require immediate solutions to get rid of the effects. Hypsi's blindness can be wiped away by Holding E. But some effects require you to travel to a salt rock and lick it to remove the effect like the Bacterial Bite.
Bleeds will leave trails of blood causing you to have to keep moving or be hunted til you die.

Bite & Spit Effects
Bleed
Several dinosaurs give bleed effects upon attacking. Bleeds can kill you even if you have full health. Learn more about bleeds on the Injuries page.
Coordinating attacks with a pack can create an effective and swift death for the prey.
Bacterial
Cera dinosaurs can give their prey a bacterial sickness that can be cured by using a salt rock.
Ceras gain more bacterial reserves by consuming rotten meat or any meat.
If bacteria effect level reaches players stomach food level they will throw up. More diet = more bites required to cause throw up.
More bites after makes effects worse.
Venomous
Creatures with a venomous bite or pounce can slowly watch the creature wither and die.
 Coordinated attacks from a pack will allow this effect to remain on the prey longer. But if you pounce at same time it will reset the effect. Only attack as a group after 3rd venom stage is achieved.
Envenomed lasts 45 sec.

Stomach Acid
Creatures with the ability to spit by having food in their stomach they are able to produce the substance.
For example Hypsi's only need to eat food and they spit their blind acid back at them.
