Camel

"We're under attack! Help! General Sandstorm is already dead! No one knows what to do! It's chaos! We're all going to die!"

— Camel to Smolder, The Brightest Night

Camel is an adult male SandWing messenger who served under Burn during the War of SandWing Succession.

Appearance

Camel has been described to have a snub-nose by Sunny.

Personality

He appeared to be cowardly and not very tough, which is the reason his parents sent him into Burn's army. As such, Camel was fearful and helpless when General Sandstorm died, believing that the world would end.

He also seemed kind because he let Sunny try to help Thorn.
