Dromodons are warm-blooded beasts of burden who have semi-reptilian features, such as scaly hides, and a large hooked bird's beak. They are very solidly-built, and ideal for pulling heavy loads over long treks. They are able to go for long periods without drinking water (and to some degree without eating,) due to fatty deposits that collect on their backs which serve as a "reservoir," especially necessary in their home environment in the Savan, parts of which can be very arid and lacking in readily-available water. Although they originate in the Savan and can be found in the wild there, domesticated strains can be found scattered all over Sinai.
