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.

Dromedaries can be sheared once every 25 days, producing 100 camelhair.

Female dromedaries can be milked once every 2 days, producing 10.

Note that cows are faster milk producers and alpacas are faster wool producers.

However, neither produce both milk and wool; only Muffalo and Dromedaries produce both milk and wool. Dromedaries yield slightly less meat and are worth 450 rather than 500 silver, making Muffalo the better of the two animals that produce milk and wool.

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