Llamataurs are humanoid camelids known for their strong, sturdy frames, long arched necks, and thick, woolly coats that protect them from the elements. They possess an elongated, somewhat rectangular face with a blunt nose, wide-set eyes—typically brown or blue—and a pair of large, curved ears that stand erect. Their thick fur can vary in color, ranging from shades of white, brown, and black to more complex combinations.
Their robust, muscular bodies are supported by powerful, unguligrade legs that end in two-toed hooves, adapted for speed, endurance, and stability on rough or mountainous terrain. Their long, bushy tails are used for balance and communication, signaling emotions such as calm, agitation, or confidence.
Llamataurs are social creatures, typically organized into herds or tribe-like communities where cooperation, mutual support, and strong social bonds are highly valued. Though they are generally calm and patient, they can be assertive or even aggressive when provoked. A common response to threats or irritation is to spit—a behavior meant to establish dominance rather than cause harm.
Herbivorous by nature, llamataurs use their strong, flat teeth to grind down vegetation, making them exceptionally efficient grazers capable of thriving on sparse or hardy plants. Their resilience allows them to survive in harsh environments, including cold, high-altitude regions, where they are well-adapted to thin air and scarce vegetation.
Llamataurs typically reach adulthood at around 15 years and can live up to 75 years.
