Where Llamas Live

Llamas can be found in various biomes, each offering a unique environment for these creatures to thrive. Here's where you can spot them:

• Savanna: A warm biome characterized by yellow grass and acacia trees. Llamas share this space with other animals like horses and donkeys.
• Windswept Hills and Forest: These rare areas are where llamas often graze in small herds. Typically, you'll find groups of 4 to 6 llamas, ideal for forming caravans.

Additionally, llamas are constant companions to wandering traders, making them a bit easier to encounter.

Appearance and Features

Llamas in Minecraft come in four distinct colors: white, gray, brown, and beige. These creatures are generally neutral, only attacking if provoked. A unique feature of llamas is their ability to spit at enemies, serving as a defense mechanism. For instance, if a zombie approaches, the llama will retaliate by spitting.
