Dromedary
Dromedary
A large land mammal adapted to arid environments. Domesticated since ancient times, its wool and leather are both exceptionally good at insulating against the desert heat, and its milk is quite nourishing. It can be used as a pack animal and mount, but its bouncing gait makes it slower to ride than a horse.
By storing water in its large humps and reclaiming moisture from its breath as it exhales, it can go weeks without drinking.
When in a caravan, people can ride dromedaries to increase the caravan's speed.

Dromedaries, called dromedary calves as babies, are desert-dwelling herbivores that provide milk and act as pack animals.
Taming[edit]
Dromedaries are notable for requiring no minimum skill level to tame. They can be found in arid shrublands, deserts, and extreme deserts.
Summary[edit]
Dromedaries are pen animals. Once tamed, pen animals cannot and do not need to be trained any further. But if left outside of a pen or caravan hitching spot, pen animals will eventually roam outside your colony. Making a caravan is not required to tie animals to a caravan hitching spot.
A dromedary can be milked for up to 18 units of milk every 2 days depending on your pawn's Animal Gather Yield. Milking an animal takes 400 ticks (6.67 secs) of work, regardless of the amount of milk produced, and only modified by the Animal Gather Speed of the handler.
Dromedaries are also pack animals. They will carry up to 73.5kg of weight in a caravan. They can be ridden by pawns to speed caravan speed by up to 130%.
Analysis[edit]
Dromedaries are an "all-in-one" animal, well suited for arid environments. Dromedaries produce milk, are pack animals, and are ridable, a combo entirely unique to dromedaries. In a desert or extreme desert, dromedaries are the only native animal to produce milk, and the only native animal that is a pack animal. Camelhide is also a great textile for heat insulation.
Dromedaries are much larger than most other animals found in a desert and extreme desert.
Milking[edit]
Female dromedaries produce 9 per day, or 0.45 nutrition in milk per day. A dromedary consumes 0.86 nutrition per day. This results in a nutrition efficiency of 52.3% from females' milk alone (or 10.47 per day per 1 nutrition consumed). Dromedaries provide the least milk of all animals.
Compared to Yaks[edit]
Yaks are competitive with dromedaries, and choosing between them is more of a matter of preference. They are both pack animals that produce milk. Yaks produce 22% more milk on average, but dromedaries with a longer milking interval will demand less labor from handlers and haulers. As pack animals, they carry the same load, but dromedaries allow riders to speed up caravans while yaks do not. They are otherwise very similar - carrying the same load and eating the same amount. Dromedaries can be found in deserts, while yaks can be found in cooler biomes.

*As of version 1.1.2610, all animals can be tamed. The percentage of likelihood of success depends on factors such as the Animals Wildness Percentage, Pawn Handling Skill, and others. More information can be found on the animals page.
