A camel is worth 25 XP. Using the 2024 encounter budgets (SRD 5.2), this is how many camels fit each difficulty for a party of four characters of the same level. A dash means even one would be over the budget.
| Party level | Low | Moderate | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | 8 | 12 | 12+ |
Budgets add up every monster’s XP, so you can swap some for other creatures of the same total. Try other party sizes and mixes in the encounter calculator.
Against the 18 other challenge 1/8 monsters in the SRD 5.1, the camel has more hit points than 18 of them, which makes it one of the toughest at its CR. See every CR 1/8 monster.
