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
Template:Charbox Camel is a male SandWing messenger who served under Burn during the War of SandWing Succession. In The Brightest Night, Smolder told Camel that he was to watch over Sunny when he went to fight in the battle against the Outclaws. He seems kind because he let Sunny try to help Thorn. His current fate is unknown, but he may be working for Queen Thorn.
Appearance
Camel has been described to have a snub-nose by Princess Sunny.[1]
Biography
Pre-Series
Camel was sent to Burn's army to toughen up; his parents wanted him to be brave or dead, for "either one would be an improvement". He later got married, and he and his partner had three eggs. According to him, if he disobeyed Burn's or Smolder's orders, his eggs could be taken away.
Blaze states that Agave stole her crown and hid it in the sandstorm, according to Camel. She also says that Camel heard it from Parch, her best friend.
Camel is seen by Wren bursting into General Sandstorm´s room and alerting him of the Outclaw attack. Sandstorm tells him to calm down and follows him out the door to the battlefield.
He informed Smolder of the attack on Burn's Stronghold, and the death of General Sandstorm. Smolder tasked him with watching Sunny until the battle subsided. Sunny asked for his name and also pleaded with him to let her go to fight with her mother, Thorn. He was nervous about the battle and he was also very unsure about letting Sunny go wherever she pleased, even though he was still keeping an eye on her.
