Camels are known for their ability to travel long distances without food or water.

The statistics presented here are for the dromedary or one-humped camel, which thrives in warm deserts. A dromedary stands about 7 feet tall at the shoulder, with its hump rising 1 foot higher.

The two-humped, or Bactrian, camel is suited to cooler, rocky areas. It is stockier, slower (speed 40 feet), and has a higher Constitution score (16).

Combat
A camel's bite is treated as a secondary attack and adds only half the camel's Strength bonus to the damage roll.

Carrying Capacity: A light load for a camel is up to 300 pounds, a medium load is 301 - 600 pounds, and a heavy load is 601 - 900 pounds. A camel can drag 4,500 pounds.

Camels as Animal Companions
A camel may be trained using Handle Animal. A 1^st-level druid, 3^rd-level outdoorsman, or 1^st-level ranger may take a camel as an animal companion.
