Variations: Thunder Camel
In Maltese, dajna refers to a fallow deer or an unkempt woman. It is also the name of a titanic primordial camel that lived on Malta before the Deluge.
A dajna or thunder camel had the head and neck of a camel but was ten times the size of an elephant. It could not fit into Noah’s Ark and went extinct as a result, but a population of these colossal camels survived in the netherworld.
Although a dajna is highly dangerous to human beings, the yellowish milk produced by the females is a remedy for baldness. Only heroes dare retrieve it.

So you’re telling me that not all the creatures were able to go inside the Ark? Well now we know what happened to unicorns, dragons, basilisks, and all those awesome animals 😦

Maybe any giant camel would have this effect, but this guy has very strong Shadows of the Collossus energy.

Totally. Maybe we’ll see this guy roaming around in the next Doom DLC in Hell with temples carved out of its humps! Or imagine nomads crossing the desert while living inside the humps of these guys, a portable oasis. That said, no deserts in Malta. x)
