Notes

The llama spits about 20% of the time in combat, deleveling opponents from 1 to int(X/4) levels, where X is the weight of the llama.
Much like the Green Pixie with tiny bottles of absinthe, the drop rate on gongs per day decreases for every additional gong you get. Exact spading is required.
Unlike the Green Pixie with tiny bottles of absinthe, the llama will continue to drop gongs if you are already on a trip.
Equipping your llama with a zen motorcycle seems to increase the chance of gong drops.

This familiar references both "llama", an animal, and "lama", a Tibetan Buddhist teacher.
The maypole message refers to the Buddhist belief in reincarnation, specifically it likely refers to the concept of the Wheel of Life, or Bhavacakra, which symbolizes how beings reincarnate over and over again in various forms, each with their own limitations which lead them back around the wheel again unless one breaks free by attaining Nirvana.
