Military Uses

The Llama has seen extensive military use by the Semantics Gestapo. Llamas are primarily used as shock troops, due to the ability of their fur to collect static electricity. However, the Llama is also the mount of choice for the Gestapo's 123rd Llama Brigade. The 124th Llama Brigade opted to go with donkeys to cut costs. The Llamas primary ranged weapon is acid spit. Their melee arsenal includes that adorably deadly neck and their razor-sharpened hooves.

Colors

Llamas are known to come in three different colors, besides white: Red, Green, and Blue. Together, a large grid of llamas (say, 3,932,160 of them) working together can form a highly detailed message visible from the air.

The Semantics Gestapo has used them as spies and saboteurs.

  • Step 1: Secretly deposit ~4 million llamas on an enemy planet
  • Step 2: The llamas (inevitable) infiltrate the planet's innermost circles and gain their most secret and embarrassing information.
  • Step 3: The llamas evacuate, at a pre-determined time, to a large, empty spot.
  • Step 4: The llamas form into 1,310,720 groups of three. Each group has a red, green, and blue llama.
  • Step 5: The llamas then use their different colors to display messages, visible from space by orbiting Semantics Gestapo CapsLock-Class BattleTypers.
  • Step 6: The BattleTyper decides, based on the information passed by the llamas, if orbital bombardment and subsequent occupation is necessary. Criteria considered: Hairstyles of leading citizens, how much semantics are squabbled over in literature.
  • Step 7: The llamas take their cyanide pills. Assuming, of course, they have not been subject to lethal methane levels.
  • Step 8: ???
  • Step 9: Profit!
