Bactrian Camel
An Operatic soldier, the only one with the wits to throw grenades over Rosetta's drop shields into the smoke.
Story so far
While the rest of the enemy line kneels and fires blindly into Carl's smoke, one soldier — a Bactrian camel — has the wherewithal to actually toss a grenade. It sails over the top of Rosetta's Drop Shields and lands in the grass about twenty feet to the left of the group, detonating before Carl can shout a warning. Simoom grunts in pain and Donut shrieks in surprise, though her Tech Shield holds.
A second grenade follows, lobbed too far, and its harmless landing is what snaps Carl out of staring at the blood-soaked Rosetta and back into the fight.
Appearance
