Alpaca

The Alpaca is a subspecies of the Andine species of which the other subspecies is the Llama. They are even toed ungulates from the camelid family. Traditionally Alpacas were believed to be their own species (see Llama).

Characteristics
Alpacas are taller than Ponies but slightly less so than Llamas.

Like Llamas, they have thick wool and a degree of resistance to magic. However, their tolerance to high altitudes is significantly higher and they often inhabit the higher territories of Hatunwalla which even Llamas aren't comfortable with.

Subdivisions
While Alpacas aren't considered to have multiple races, they are sometimes divided by their cultural group (see Alpacasuyu).

Terminology
Like Llamas, younger Alpacas are called "crias" and Alpacas carry their crias in blankets tied around the mother's waist.

Distribution
Alpacas mostly live in the territory of Alpacasuyu.
