Giant ants I said!
He never said bringing in milk would fail! Milkable Underground fortress digging cows with humps and wings; which also spray acid!

I'll have to research to see if you can water crops with milk.

What's your color of choice, guys?

Cows have a couple of benefits: They (semi)naturally produce lots of milk, for instance, and are pretty common. Using a cow to produce large quantities of milk would likely be more efficient and therefore either cheaper or more effective than using ants or camels (especially ants).
Camels have no redeeming attributes past mammary glands, and they don't live so well outside of deserts.

Well I wanted that "storage ability" from camels. If those cows move quickly for long distances I'm okay with them.

1. Camels store FAT, which is neither easily removable nor terribly hydrating.
2. Camels aren't exactly racehorses either...
3. I suggested modifying cattle, which should be much more cost-efficient; although, now that I think of it, cows do have several advantages over camels.

Doh, ain't expert on biology, well I based on not really sciency view on them(hard to tire, heard some usage as cavalry etc.), and that's why I used "" .

Color?
Orange, just because there is not enough colors
Blue is overused, Green bit boring, purple naah. Black would be stylish. Green could work as last resort.

1. Ants presumably need mana to make them cow-sized. Cows don't. Efficiency.
2. I know. However, water isn't milk, so I'm not sure what you mean.
3. Has it occurred to you that the proposed beast would be utterly terrifying?

I'll have to research to see if you can water crops with milk.

It includes good amounts of water, so why not?

What's your color of choice, guys?

I posted my suggestion a while back. For just a simple color, how about a dark green?

Many mammals convert water and food into milk, ants ventures out pretty far to look for food and water, to provide for the nest.
Said milkable horrors are not scary beyond belief! They are indeed very lovable!

Um...think a sec. Describe them again.

[javierpwn]

Beautiful,  cunning, loveable, and awesome!

...From ants?
Are you delusional or what?

No, describe what they LOOK like.

[javierpwn]

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Only imagine it with milk instead, and wings.

[GreatWyrmGold]

And you don't understand why people would be freaking out more over that than a cow?

[Remuthra]

Some people think banelings are very much beautiful, cunning, lovable, and awesome. True story.
Banelings also like strawberries.

[javierpwn]

Because it will explode milk all over their crops. Watering them, and providing the crops with bonus nutrients. Then they eat the rest of it.
Muahahahaha!

[GreatWyrmGold]

Explode...oh gods, they'll think the ants are a new plague.

[javierpwn]

In reality, they would squeeze the milk-sacs into small containers.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Still, they're huge ants. That creeps people out. Oh, yeah, and as mentioned it would be less efficient.
