Camel is a rarely-used creature type. Camels are commonly white or green.
Description
A camel is a humped, long-necked ruminant mammal, domesticated in desert regions as a beast of burden and as a source of wool, milk, and meat.
Dromads are giant camels with no humps used as mounts on the plane of Ravnica. The other cards depict Arabian dromedaries (one-humped camels) rather than the two-humped Bactrian camels.
History
For many years, the only camel card was Camel from Arabian Nights. All creatures attacking in a band with camels are immune to damage done by deserts.
Years later the Dromad Purebred was printed in Ravnica: City of Guilds, followed by Tasseled Dromedary in Kaladesh and multiple camels in Amonkhet block. The latter also featured the black Wretched Camel.
Modern Horizons 2 featured the colorless artifact Steel Dromedary.
