Aside from both being Camelids, the Llama and Gobi are both trapped in their respective desert-themed world, and they solve puzzles by spitting. In fact, in an early plan for a lava-themed area removed from the first ''Banjo-Kazooie'' game, Gobi's spit would have been used to cool lava, just like the Llama's did. A major difference with Gobi is that [[Banjo]] and Kazooie must attack him to solve puzzles.

* The Llama is very similar to another Rare charcter from the ''Banjo Kazooie'' series, Gobi. Aside from having somewhat similar appearences, they are both trapped in desert worlds, are both found more than once in the same level, and both use their "spitting" powers to solve puzzles.

The Llama[1][2][3] is a minor character who appears in the Angry Aztec stage of Donkey Kong 64. Here, the Llama is imprisoned inside a cage in the first main area following the entry passageway. Just as Donkey Kong enters the main area, the Llama vaguely hints that he can be freed in the clouds. To free him, Donkey Kong must access a Donkey Kong Pad at the stairway to the Llama's Temple and complete a Barrel Cannon challenge. By doing so, the bars of the Llama's cage rise, and he leaves to his home, the Llama's Temple, and leaves behind a Golden Banana for Donkey Kong. In the temple, the Llama is shown sleeping on a floor above a pit of lava. Lanky is imprisoned in a room below the pool of lava. Donkey Kong can reach his area by performing Bongo Blast on a Music Pad, waking up the Llama, who then spits into the lava to cool it into water. The Llama has no other role, although he stays awake in the same position and yawns at times.

Trivia[edit]

  • The Llama is similar to Gobi from the Banjo-Kazooie series. Aside from both being Camelids, the Llama and Gobi are both trapped in their respective desert-themed world, and they solve puzzles by spitting. In fact, in an early plan for a lava-themed area removed from the first Banjo-Kazooie game, Gobi's spit would have been used to cool lava, just like the Llama's did. A major difference with Gobi is that Banjo and Kazooie must attack him to solve puzzles.
