Add Llama as a pet

Llama are cool these days. We need a dromedary companion.

Is there any guidance or docs in the repo somewhere around what's required to add a new pet in terms of code and animation frames/cycles (and how the existing ones were produced in terms of software and other art guidance)?

Updated section in the readme.

Drawing and Animations

If you want to contribute improvements to the animations, additional pet colors or even new pets, clone the repository and work in the media/ folder.

Most drawings are done in aseprite because you can edit GIFs directly. However, you are free to use any tool to make the animations. Animations should be 8 frames per second. The style of the extension is to have pixelated creatures (although not limited to an 8-bit color canvas).

Don't worry if you don't have enough coding experience to add the changes to the extension to support the new animations, we can help you with that.

The minimum set of behaviors is:

standing walking running/chasing holding green ball
