Flaming Camel

The Flaming Camel is an unbuildable suicide unit in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition. It has the appearance of a Bactrian Camel carrying heaps of straw (which catch fire whenever it moves), but can be ordered to attack enemy units and buildings. When it reaches its objective (or is killed beforehand), the Flaming Camel disappears in an explosion while dealing 50 melee damage to any enemies nearby, twice as much as its human version, the Petard.

Flaming Camels are only available in the Scenario Editor. In the fourth scenario of the Tamerlane campaign, the player starts with eight Flaming Camels and is told to use them against the advancing Indian Shah's Elite War Elephants in order to scare them and make them trample their own side. This is based on a real stratagem used by Tamerlane during his conquest of Delhi in 1398.
