Dromedary

Desert-dwelling, shrub-eating quadrupeds, dromedaries are one-humped camels. They can often be found in small herds. When enraged, they can melee and can become somewhat dangerous, comparable to deer.

These creatures can be hunted and butchered by colonists for a plentiful supply of meat. This is especially valuable, considering the scarcity of food in their native desert environment.

They also provide a large quantity of leather compared to other creatures that spawn in the same biomes, making them useful for a crafting-based economy. Their leather is a sandy brown color.

A Dromedary will also increase the carrying capacity of any caravan it's part of by 70 kg.

Taming

Dromedaries are notable for requiring no minimum skill level to tame.

Production

Handlers are required to harvest resources from animals.

As of 1.1, dromedaries no longer produce wool in the form of camelhair, as it no longer exists as an item.

Female dromedaries can be milked once every 2 days, producing 12 milk.

Note that while cows are faster milk producers, dromedaries produce milk AND are pack animals, which is a combo that muffalos no longer provide. While yaks are also pack animals that produce milk, dromedaries carry more, are faster, and produce the same amount of milk at the same rate.

See Animal Products for more details on how much each type of animal produces.
