An Ugthanki is a special kind of vicious camel, which can be found in the Kharidian Desert, located south of Shantay Pass. They are aggressive, so players with low life points should keep away from them.
Ugthanki are unique in that they are the only creature that drops ugthanki meat, which is used to make the delicious ugthanki kebabs.
When players speak to an ugthanki using their Camulet, the ugthanki use a variety of insults that refer to Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
The origin of the name "ugthanki" is unclear. It is unique to RuneScape as it has no real-world equivalent. It is possible that the name came from "changthangi", a kind of goat.<ref>Changthangi goat, Department of Animal Science, Oklahoma State University</ref> Another theory suggests that it is a combination of both slang and a portmanteau, the slang being "thanki" for "thank you" and the portmanteau being a combination of the words "ugh" and "thanki." Placed in proper order, this would give the approximate phrase "ugh, thank you." This could be a reference to the fact that these camels are often made to give up their dung to adventurer's in need of it, usually for quest purposes. As such, this phrase would make a rather appropriate response for those adventurers to make to the camel for receiving a much needed, yet decidedly unpleasant item.

Trivia
- When talking to an Ugthanki with the Camulet, one of its quotes, "Your mother was a jackal and your father smelled of cactus," may be based on a quote from Monty Python's "French Taunting" skit.
