Camels

An even-toed ungulate well adapted to extreme heat and cold. The camel reaches a height of roughly 2 m and a weight of 600 kg. They have very large and hardy feet which help them cope with sandy and rocky terrain. A camel can live to be 50 years old. Camels are native to the Southlands where it can be found practically everywhere. Domesticated animals where brought by the humans migrating to the Northlands where they can now be found both in captivity and in the wild. Camels live in herbs of 6 to 20 individuals.

Camels are calm but stubborn animals and cannot be trained in the same way as a horse. Learned handlers know that if a single camel is lead in a specific direction the other camels of the herd will follow.

Lharsa camel
The most common type of camel is known as the Lharsa camel as it was first tamed by the tribes inhabiting the region surrounding the Lharsa desert on the southern continent. The camel is tall and slender and well adapted to sandy deserts.

Omad camel
The Omad camel stems from the Pantoria province in the Southlands and is heavier and more docile than its relative. The Omad camel inhabits both the dry lands of the Meccan desert and the colder valleys of the Omad Mountains. As a consequence it has a thick fur to cope with both warm and cold climate.
