Camel husk, a mount that survives better on dessert than camel and horse

It is allways good to have multiple purposes for one mob. 

A camel differs from horses because it can be rided by two players.

It's logical that hostile mobs need a husk camel since it would be weird if they would ride the same mounts as players. 

Oho! A husk can be tamed, too. That's a good addition that makes it a great deel more interesting from the viewpoint of a player. But how could they differ from normal camels. They should be some how better so that they would be worth conquering.

My idea is that the husk makes way for a bigger desser themed update that introduces:

1) Thirsty bar. It is only active on deserts, you can keep it full by drinking water and if it goes to zero you will start losing HP.

2) we also have this second new bar: Horse food bar.

Both of the bars are not only good for the game (priority number one) but also very logical: deserts are hot. When horses are wild they eat grass but when they grow up you need to feed them (I think this could be expanded to pigs also once you have sadled them, but not to any nonridable animals. Or to the happy ghast or nautilus: they are so fantasy creatures that they can find their own food. They aren't as commonly used as horses, too). If horse's hunger bar goes to zero it doesn't die (that would be anoying) but you must stop riding it and give it some food.  

So my idea is:

On deserts the thirsty bar replaces hunger bar. A husk Doesn't have a thirsty bar. That's why it's superior on desserts but not on other biomes.

    I wasn't able to finish my post because of the mark limitation. There are the final notes:

    Players will also have a thirsty bar on deserts. That will make them more scary to conquer. You can still explore them. It's good precalculus to storage waterbotles into your inventory, though. But it's not a necessity because there are oses on the way. They are a biome type that has been wished for a long time by the community and intriduction of the thirsty bar would make them vital for cowboys who enjoy facing chalenges whitout preparing / grinding waterbotles.  

    A cool feature for the thisrty bar would also be if it wouldn't be spent at all during nights and would shink fastest when the sun is at it's highest. Also a shadow would weaken (but not cancel) dehydration. During night time there's cold on deserts so maybe the player would be threatened by freezing? There's allready freazing in minecraft in the context of powder snow. Something similar on desserts? Powder sand that can be walked upon on day but where you will sink during nights? Did I go too far from the laws of physics?

    You could also add suspicious snow (and frozen mammoth's skuls) at the same time with powder sand, that would fit in to theme.

    P.S. I think that thirsty bar should be an exclusive feature for desserts. Logically, players should also have it in nether since that's even hotter place. But it's allready difficult to find food from nether and there's no water so I won't reccommend adding a thirsty bar there. It would limit exploring too much. Some reason should have developed why players aren't thirsty in the nether. Maybe the nether portal has some magical powers that cause this? Maybe it drains blod in players wain's and the appearance of their skin will chance to a new variant: scorched skin. The costume would be active for all players in nether, a great lore addition.
