[[File:Akthanakos.png|right|thumb|[[Akthanakos]]'s animal form, said to be inspired by the "Camel God".]]
The "'''Camel God'''" is an unofficial name given to a thus far unnamed [[gods|deity]] worshipped by the people of the [[Kharidian Desert]]. The god's existence is implied by [[Aristarchus]], a [[Menaphites|Menaphite]] historian from the city of [[Menaphos]] that is currently residing in [[Polnivneach]].

Aristarchus suggests that [[Akthanakos]], a [[Mahjarrat]] loyal to [[Zaros]], took on a slightly different form when he arrived in [[Gielinor]] from [[Freneskae]] in the [[Second Age]]. This form was apparently influenced by a god of the [[Gods#Menaphite Pantheon|Menaphite Pantheon]] that bears resemblance to a [[camel]]. However, the god is not amongst those that have been explicitly mentioned by name in-game, leaving the nature of this god unclear.

It is also possible that Aristarchus simply meant Akthanakos imitated the ''style'' of the Menaphite gods by assuming a desert animal-headed humanoid, and not a specific god. However, a poll released by [[Jagex]] on [[26 July]] [[2010]] made specific reference to the god, including the statement "some in the desert insist he's real!" {{CitePoll |url=http://services.runescape.com/m=poll/results.ws?id=473 |poll=Odd Gods |question=Who is your favourite deity in RuneScape? |polldate=26 July 2010 |date=21:14, July 26, 2010 (UTC) }} This would suggest that the god actually exists, or is believed by some Kharidians to exist.

[[Jagex]] has implied that, when Menaphos is opened, more Menaphite deities may be revealed. It is possible that the Camel God is amongst those.
