Appearance

Camel is colored mostly dark blue, with a white outline framing its face and a white front edged by spotted dark blue markings. Its long, slender beak angles downward at the tip and runs pink with a yellow rim near the face. The bird is enormous, several times bigger than its master, so much so that Kuzan can stretch out across its head and nap while it treads water upright. Strapped to its back is a huge knapsack that probably holds whatever of Kuzan's belongings will not fit in his own pack.

Personality

Camel's temperament is mostly a mystery, but it sleeps a great deal, which paints it as a lazy sort of super penguin. That sleepiness apparently makes it a fine match for Kuzan, who is similarly relaxed. An SBS note adds that Camel dislikes being called cute.

Abilities

True to its super penguin nature, Camel excels at treading water, and it has also shown a knack for cooking, capable of grilling barbecue on its own. It became Kuzan's companion at some point after he resigned from the Marines. Camel was first seen drifting in the open ocean with Kuzan as the pair made their way toward Punk Hazard, and it dozed nearby after his clash with Donquixote Doflamingo. Later it was grilling barbecue while Kuzan read the newspaper. It has since parted from him to go searching for the perfect shaved ice.
