Additionally, llamas are always found accompanying wandering traders.

Appearance and Features

Llamas in Minecraft come in four main colors: white, gray, brown, and beige. They are neutral mobs, meaning they won't attack unless provoked. However, if attacked, they defend themselves by spitting, which can deter enemies like zombies.
