Homebrew Camelfolk Species Details

Camelfolk are tall, hairy creatures, but never taller than 9 feet tall, although they are really heavy and sturdy. Their elongated snout have nasal openings that not only regulate their breathing but can permeate the sand easily. Their big eyes and second eyelid give them a goofy appearance and their long, strong neck make them even taller. They rarely get beards or mustaches.

The most notorious characteristic is their humps: They usually have 2 humps like a Bactrian camel despite having more in common with dromedary camels, but it is not unusual for them to have only one hump.

They are bipedal, with 3 enormous fingers and one thumb on their hands, so they actually require weaponry specially adapted for them to be used, and normal camel hooves as their feet. They have a thick layer of fur, generally golden or brown, although black has been reported in extraordinary cases.
