Question for the philosophers: should it be a Camel Unicorn or Unicorn Camel?
I'd say Unicorn Camel. That's because 'unicorn' appears to be more of a state with a creature like this (it has a central horn on its head) than a hybrid of the two animals together (or, at least, that's how I would imagine any artits to draw this animal. I doubt they would take to the assignment and make a camel-ish looking unicorn so much as a unicorn-ish looking camel.)
If that's the case, then we should probably mimic the way zombie creature types are written out, since zombification is more of a state too. Nantuko Husk is a 'zombie insect'. Know what I mean, Vern?
Race Class.
Is it a camel that works as a unicorn, or a unicorn that works as a camel?
From the picture; it's a camel that is part-timing as a unicorn.
Also Unicorn Camel just reads more naturally to me, Unicorn sounds like it could be an adjective - similarly to Happy Camel.
Though saying that, cases can be camel case. Hmmm. I guess a camelicorn would be a camel unicorn?
the council has spoken
I would argue that "Unicorn" is the class/modifier here, and that this should most certainly be "Camel Unicorn."
Actually, I like Vitenka's "camelicorn", that's better than "unicamel". But I agree with L2i0n0k7 that "Camel Unicorn" feels more natural (it was my original version after all).
change name to Camelicorn (was unicamel), revert to original typing
