A dry wind blows over your skin. Hot light beams down from seemingly every direction. A gritty texture coats your exposed face, arms and legs. This is not your bedroom. You are not safe in your bed.
You open your eyes to see small, weed-like plants towering over you between wavy patches of sand large enough to be considered lakes! You've been whisked from your own house to the middle of a sweltering desert! Sweat pours from your pores as you look around frantically for some kind of shelter, but you never expected it to come to you.
A dark, smiling snout rises over the nearest sand dune. If the plants were towering over you, then the creature this snout is attached to is straight up scraping the skies over those plants! Hundreds, maybe thousands of feet high stands a Dromedary camel. A single hump protrudes from this giant's back, it kicks the top off a sand dune with a forefoot and stamps a hundred foot print into the sand with its rear foot!
Brown, shaggy fur quivers beneath the chin of the sleepy eyed giant as its four legs stamp closer, tossing clumps of sand down with each new thud. These two toed, hoof-like feet crush a mount of sand before your eyes, the camel now casts its long-necked shadow over you.
