Llama Habitats
The savanna biome – characterized by golden grasslands and acacia trees – serves as prime llama territory alongside horses and donkeys.

Windswept hills and forests also host these ungulates, typically grazing in herds of 4-6 individuals – ideal for creating transport caravans as we'll explore later.

These mobs invariably accompany wandering traders throughout their journeys.
Appearance & Behavior
Llamas appear in four color variants: white, gray, brown, and cream. These neutral mobs won't initiate attacks unless provoked, though they'll retaliate if struck. Their distinctive defense mechanism involves spitting at aggressors – useful against zombies and other hostile creatures.

Dozens of colorful carpet patterns allow for personalized llama decoration, enhancing your caravan's visual appeal.
While not formidable fighters, their defensive spitting can deter enemies and create precious breathing space during attacks.
Taming Process
Unlike horses, llamas don't require saddles but cannot be directly ridden. Follow these steps to gain their trust as travel companions.
Step 1: Locating
Search savannas or mountainous regions where llamas typically graze in small herds.
