A Camel is a strange desert dwelling creature, sometimes called a. Horse-like as a grazer, sheep-like of face, with a long gracile neck. The back bears one hump among the smaller, southern varieties, two for the larger, eastern kind. The two humped eastern Camels are covered in thick hair, to deal with the cold arid climate of their home, and are somewhat larger. The southern, one humped kind is sometimes called a Dromedary, and is easily domesticated, and used as a beast of burden by peoples of Mesembria. All varieties of the animal is well adapted to dry weather, needing little water or food.
The camel's urine is dark, thick, and very concentrated, and is said to have medicinal properties. Traditionally, it is mixed with milk (typically also sourced from the Camel). It is quite slow, difficult to encourage to walk at faster than a man's pace. Mountains to the west are said to have a small variety, with no hump, and covered in wool, that the natives weave into cloth.
Will spit if provoked. Despite rumor to the contrary, the camel's humps are not full of water, rather it is where the animal stores fatty tissue.
