Based on its Profile: typical, standard and large, it is typically 2.5 [[Meter|m]] long, approximately 0.5 cubic [[Meter|meter]]s, weighs around 500 [[Kilogram|kg]], and stands about 2.5 [[Meter|m]] tall at the shoulder – the neck and head, when held upright, add another [[meter]] to its height. The Greyhump Camel's speed is rated as standard: maximum speed is 65 kph (galloping). It may also trot on firm surfaces (at around 15 kph) for periods of around an [[hour]]. It has a typical Endurance of 8. |
Greyhump Camels stay together in herds led by a dominant bull – inferior males generally form their own "bachelor" herds. Their primary instinct is to flee from danger if they are startled or alone, though they find courage in numbers and large groups may choose to stand their ground rather than run. If Greyhump Camels fight they spit, bite, butt, body-slam and kick at foes. Mostly, though, they are social creatures with a sense of curiosity – they greet one another with close physical contact, sniffing and facial blowing, licking, and gurgling calls. Domesticated animals extend such behaviour to the [[sophont]]s that they exist alongside of. They will investigate anything that catches their interest, often choosing to test it through licking and biting – their mouth is their primary manipulator. | Greyhump Camels stay together in herds led by a dominant bull – inferior males generally form their own "bachelor" herds.
