Because I was doing more research and was glad to see that I wasn't wrong in my guess. I was afraid I was gonna look like an idiot and that horses were faster superior in everything but the water requirement

Is this for something in your writing? Camels are a fun choice!

I've been doing some world building this past week or so because my sister asked me to DM a few tabletop sessions for her and my niece and nephew to see how they do with it, and one of the regions I put together uses these huge birds called Axe Beaks instead of horses for transport and racing. They aren't faster than horses, but locally found wild, and their beaks are like razors that they can slash with.

Not that there's anything wrong with horses, of course, just sometimes you want something a little different depending on the setting.

I don't think so? I've actually never seen those movies.

They have flying bird things they ride in part of it. I only saw the first one very recently and part of the second. They were good but I get bored with movies lol

Ohhh, then no, these are flightless. More like a cassowary that's big enough for a human to ride and also has an axe blade for a beak. Bad temperament and all.

Yeah, for my main story I've mentioned a few times. The lands where one of the characters come from don't use horses apart from meat and clothing for the most part. They're too wild and aggressive for most to use for any work. Plus a good portion of the country is too hot and sand for larger breeds to survive, so camel's are their go to for transportation and labor, as well as for diet and clothing (wool, meat and milk vs meat and hides for horses)

I haven't seen that movie in a very long time now, but I do remember always being drawn to Bladebeak.

I never realized how accurate he was as a young cockerel in the movie. But I have lots of boys that definitely act like him
