Minecraft llamas were added in the 1.11 Exploration Update in 2016, based on the real South American animal and found in mountain and savanna biomes and with wandering traders. Like other passive mobs, they have several idle sounds that play randomly while they are not moving or interacting. Players record and share these short clips outside the game for soundboards and video edits, and the llama idle noises remain popular because they are instantly recognizable to Minecraft fans even out of context.
