Add Alpacas!

[Angelklaine 4,266]

 

 

How could you not want alpacas? Alpacas would bring joy to our Wurm lives!

 

Suggested habitat: Mountains and hills.

 

Alpacas would be great mounts for mountainous areas with an increased slope climb rate (Perhaps getting stuck less than horses, similar to some WU servers) at the cost of decreased mounted speed. Alpacas would be faster than cows and bulls, but slower than horses but able to be saddled and bred, thus increasing their overall speed while still maintaining max speeds slower than horses.

 

Besides, their bouncy runs shouldn't be underestimated!

And with alpaca fleeces, comes alpaca wool - we need knitting needles.

 

Easy to make using a carving knife on a log, we can then knit cardigans and scarves in our favourite factional colours.

 

Black and white and brown alpaca wool could be available and white alpaca wool can be dyed any colour we like!

 

Factional fans can make trendy knitted balaclavas to wear at their 'social gatherings'

Facts I Stole Off The Internet

 

Alpaca vs Llama, So What's The Dif?

 

1. Their ears: Alpaca ears have short spear-shaped ears while llamas have much longer, banana-shaped ears.
2. Their size: Alpacas generally weigh in at around 150 pounds while llamas can get as heavy as 400 pounds. At the shoulder, an average alpaca stands between 34 and 36 inches, while a llama generally ranges between 42 and 46 inches.
3. Their faces: Llamas have a longer face; an alpaca’s face is a bit more blunt, giving them a “smooshed in” look.
4. Their purpose: For more than 5,000 years alpacas have been bred for fiber (and in Peru for meat as well), while llamas have been bred for the same amount of time as pack animals and meat.
5. Their hair: The alpaca produces a much finer fiber than the llama. The alpaca also produces more fleece than its larger cousin and in a much greater variety of colors. Llamas also generally do not have as much hair on their head and face as alpacas do.
6. Their dispositions: Alpacas are very much herd animals, while llamas are more independent minded. Alpacas also tend to be a bit more skittish than llamas, which are often used as guard animals for alpacas, sheep, and other small livestock.
7. Apparently you can train alpacas to do tricks, but the more independent minded Llamas will be more likely to just spit at you.
8. Alpacas are gentle and shy and can't protect themselves. Llamas are  confident and brave and often serve as herd guards for alpaca breeders.
