Llamanian

The Llamanian symbol.

**Llamanians** are zealots indigenous to Geltris that have an unrelenting focus on scientific prowess and military might. Known for their long furry necks and objective disposition, llamanians are infamous for being one of the most forceful species in the galaxy, going through any length to achieve what they desire. They are mostly correlated with Squoatlings, having an interspecies alliance for thousands of GUYs. This alliance lasted until recently with the Purgation of Vortox.

## Appearance

Llamanians are bipedal lifeforms that share a resemblance with Earth's Lama genus of taxonomic classification. As such, they have clumped fur, long necks, and ears that pop over the top of their heads. Their eyes are closer together, however, and as such, their faces are wider than a llama's.

Their fur colors are commonly brown, black, and gray, although it is uncommon to find white and honey furred llamanians. Most of them have fur markings on their bodies indicative of their genetic individuality, which are of an aforementioned color. Their fur grows sporadically as the llamanian ages, starting from a sparse, even distribution across the body to large, dense patches. Unless their fur is getting in their way or their occupation requires it, llamanians do not trim their fur, and as such it is usually unkempt.

Llamanian attire is militarian, and as all llamanians are required to join either the military or science division of the Llamanian Republic, most are adorned in uniform in their day-to-day tasks. Uniforms are colored based on the department the llamanian is assigned to, and have a patch on the right shoulder to further identify their occupation and or rank in their department. On the infrequent casual days aboard the  Mothership, most llamanians don attire more suited to winter weather, including coats, sweatpants, and beanies. Most casual wear is made of llamanian fleece, with uncommon instances of  squoatling fur, cotton, and feathers.

## Biology

### Habitat

Llamanians, prior to when most of them moved onto the Llamanian Mothership, are native to a cold mountainous environment. As herbivores, they commonly live in the valleys that are surrounded by the mountains for agricultural purposes. Most predatory animals on Geltris are scared of the llamanians given their violent nature, and as such, they tend to keep away from the llamanians. This permits a safe llamanian lifestyle on Geltris. Llamanian communities are typically located off of lakes and rivers for food production. The llamanian can foster in an environment with temperatures ranging from 240 K to 310 K. Otherwise, they will start to suffer from hypothermia or hyperthermia respectively.

### Diet

The llamanian diet is herbivorous, given their blunt teeth and digestive systems. As such, their main sources of food are primary producers, including, but not limited to, wild berries, mint, ginseng roots, and moss. Most llamanian farms and agricultural centers consist of more luxury crops, given their belief of how tasteless most vegetation on Geltris can be. These luxury crops are paramount to keeping llamanians at ease, and consist of tree sap, sweet carrots, gourds, and certain types of berries. It is also not uncommon for there to be plantations devoted to milking farm animals.

### Reproduction

Most llamanian reproduction takes place by fertilization through sexual intercourse, as with most mammalian species. While llamanian hormones are more active in humid environments like  humans, there is no estrus period that promotes reproductive activity. Most sexual interactions between llamanians are monogamous between a male and a female, though uncommonly a male llamanian can have a harem of females through his testosterone alone. The female llamanian, after intercourse, will foster a fetus with about a seven semester gestation period. Given the size of llamanian wombs and newborns, the mother's body will not grow much until around the six semester mark. Birth mortality rates are very low, and a slightly painful birth will produce an average of one child.
