A small group of Llamas move into Ponyville. Of course, the woolly South Equestrians have a little bit of trouble adjusting to a very, very strange new world.

Expecting new cover art soon enough.
Cha Cha (and her twin, Macarena) is based on a G1 non-pony character of the same name developed and sold but eventually forgotten long ago. She has not made an appearance in G4, and I do not believe that llamas will become canon anytime soon. But this is in case they do.
The llama culture is based largely on Peruvian, Chilean, Argentine, and Bolivian cultures. The cuisine and behavior is actual llama behavior, adapted to fit a sentient species. The magic used by llamas is based off of Mayan and Aztec beliefs, but I get most of the ideas (and a few names) from the Incas.
