Fermionic dark matter could arise from a strongly interacting dark sector. Dark quarks are bound into neutral composite dark baryons, which can be probed by direct detection experiments through a magnetic dipole interaction. We consider theories where the strong interaction consists of Nc colors, where Nc is odd and large, and place bounds on the parameter space of the theory using direct detection and cosmological constraints.
