Camelot Anatomy
Camelots are well-equipped for long distance travel over both hot and cold desert. Fat is stored in their hump/s for them to draw on in times where they can't access food or water for long periods.
Their secondary forelimbs are used to push aside vegetation so that they can reach better food sources, dig for forage in hard ground and (most importantly) scratch persistant itches with ease.
Eyes
|
|
|
Camelots have slit pupils that allow them to adjust to bright sun reflecting on the sands and snow during the day and dilate to take in more light at night, allowing them good night vision. Their eyes are shaded by a thick blanket of lashes which provide protection from sand, dust, snow, and anything else that might get in their eyes while traversing the lands. |
Mouth
|
|
|
With a mix of flat front-teeth for grazing and stripping greenery from bushes and trees and eight sharp rear canines for puncturing fruit and chewing up tougher forage like roots and bark, it is highly suggested to avoid getting your hands too close to Camelot's mouths if you want to keep your fingers. |
Feet
|
|
|
Camelots' padded feet are perfect for shifting sands or powdery snow and provide excellent footing for treks over rough terrain. |
one hump or two?
|
|
|
|
How many humps a wild Camelot has depends greatly on the geographical location of its herd. A herd in a location with better access to food and water only have one hump whereas wild Camelots in harsher climates have two so they can store a greater amount of fat at any one time.
In both hot and cold desert, different pockets of Camelots with one or two humps can be found and the amount of humps always directly correlates to available resources.
In domestic Camelots, as they descend from many specimens of wild Camelot, they can have either one or two humps.
Fur length and density
|
|
|
|
Camelot fur is also dependant on environmental factors. Wild Camelots that live in hot desert will have short fur that protects their skin from the sun and wild Camelots that live in cold desert will have thick insulating fur to keep them warm.
In domestic Camelots, as they descend from many specimens of wild Camelot, they can have either fine or thick fur.
colours and markings
Camelots always have mottled patterning ranging from neat rosettes to irregular stripes, loops and blotches. They can come in any natural colours such as off-white, beige, grey, brown and black.
camelots and kebanzu

Camelots by nature are easy-going, friendly and hard-working; as such, they have long been domesticated by kebs. They not only make great adventuring partners with their tailor-made anatomy but also great companions due to their affectionate dispositions. Camelots can carry both kebs and saddlebags with extreme ease.
