Where Llamas Live
Llamas can be found in various biomes, making them accessible to players exploring different parts of the Minecraft world. Here are the primary locations where you can encounter these animals:

Additionally, llamas always accompany wandering traders, offering another opportunity to encounter them.
Appearance and Features
Llamas in Minecraft come in four distinct colors: white, gray, brown, and beige. They are neutral mobs, meaning they won't attack unless provoked. However, they will defend themselves when necessary, showcasing their unique ability to spit at enemies. For instance, if a zombie targets a llama, it will retaliate by spitting.
