Probably because I'm a dangerous sociopath with a long history of violence.
~ Carl in Episode 4; his most infamous quote.

Carl is the villainous main protagonist of the black comedy web series, Llamas with Hats. He is a psychopathic llama and Paul's best friend who is responsible for causing mass destruction, and eventually wiping out mankind. In each episode, he is shown to have gruesomely and graphically murdered a human, or group of humans, and then has to explain it to Paul, much to Paul's shock and horror.

He was voiced by Chris Alex.

Biography[]

First Incident[]

In episode 1, Paul notices a dead man lying in the hall and tells Carl about the corpse. At first, Carl denies killing the man, but then explains that he stabbed the man multiple times in the chest when he walked into his room, shocking Paul. Paul then notices that his hands are missing, to which Carl explains that he cooked and ate them, much to Paul's horror, as Carl apparently had never done this in the past before.

Cruise Ship Massacre[]

In episode 2, as Carl and Paul watch the ship sink from a bloodied lifeboat, Paul reiterates how Carl fired a harpoon in the captain's face, headbutted children off the deck, made out with the ice sculptures and killed an elderly couple for hoarding the crescent rolls. Carl also bit holes in all of the life boats aside from their own, leaving no survivors other than Paul and himself.

Dismantling a South American Government[]

In episode 3, Paul discovered his vacation was ruined as Carl toppled the government of an unnamed country in South America, killing the resistance leader by pushing him into a giant fan (along with other victims) and swallowing a bartender whole. He also mentions that he is collecting orphan meat in order to build a meat dragon, after which Paul accepts that this is the norm for Carl. Carl seems confused when Paul tells him his name, having been confused by his gender because of the hat.

The Nuke and the Faces[]

In episode 4, Paul is seen complaining because Carl tracked mud on the carpet. However, he is interrupted by a massive explosion, followed by Carl (incorrectly) wishing him a happy birthday. Soon after, balloons attached to detached faces float by, disgusting Paul immensely. He demands an explanation, followed by Carl explaining that he is just a dangerous sociopath, not understanding how he keeps forgetting.

Collecting Baby Hands[]

In episode 5, Paul is becoming ever suspicious of Carl, demanding he tell him about his day. He explained how he washed his car, made a donation to the Girl Scouts, returned an overdue movie at Blockbuster, baked banana bread for their neighbor, and stepped on a ladybug by accident, forgetting to mention that he ripped the fabric of space-time to collect baby hands. Paul, expecting worse, was curious about why all the baby hands were white, to which Carl responded with "Whities gotta pay, and the payment is baby hands."

Completing the Meat Dragon[]

In episode 6, Paul threatens to move out when Carl installs a meat conveyor in their home, calling the meat grinder an "orphan stomper." He tells Paul about a surprise, but is not happy with his attitude and decides not to show him. At the end of the episode, the meat dragon reveals itself, while Paul nonchalantly reacts by noting it is horrifying.

The Hand Chair Made of Faces[]

In episode 7, Paul has moved out and Carl is beginning to show signs of mental deterioration as a result. Carl has put a mask of Paul on what appears to be a sheep to try and replace him. The sheep appears to speak gibberish, but Carl is apparently able to understand it. Carl has taken up carpentry and has made a chair in the shape of a hand, but Carl "modernized art" by using face parts of city council members, because he disagreed with the election results. Then the "Paul-Sheep" sits down, which deeply disturbs Carl. Carl presumably killed the sheep at the end of the episode, stating that he cannot remove the mask until he tosses him into his blood canal.

Attempted Reconciliation with Paul[]

In episode 8, Carl visits Paul's new apartment after burning down his house and spending all his savings on swans, asking if he received his apology piano, to which Paul replied that pianos aren't supposed to bleed and scream, and threatens to call the police. Paul turns his music on to shut Carl out, while Carl has a conversation with himself whilst imitating Paul, which further hints that Carl is going insane without his former friend's company. Soon after, Paul receives a swan piano, much to his displeasure.

The Mask Comes to Life[]

In episode 9, Carl has another conversation with his Paul mask after dismembering someone. After "the mask" tells Carl that he hates him, it suddenly becomes sentient and tells him that there is much to do. It soon asks what he is planning, to which Carl responds that he is just "taking things as they come". The mask tells him that he is better than that, emphasizing that he is actually Carl.

The Gore Pit[]

In episode 10, Carl falls into his Gore Pit filled with severed limbs. The mask goes to find a light and tells Carl that he is in great danger and that his work is not yet finished. The Paul mask mentions that they need to get out because something is down there with them, but Carl says that it is only the basilisk, adding that it will not bother them because it only eats chipotle. While the Paul mask goes to find a rope, Carl reminisces about his first incident. The mask fails to find the rope, telling him he must escape on his own, and they have a conversation similar to the one from the first episode.

Completion[]

In episode 11, fifteen years have passed. Carl, now unshaven and having replaced one of his hooves with a wooden leg, has wiped out the entire population, but the mask still pushes him to "finish his work". Carl looks out over a wasteland and reflects on the many bloody deeds from his past, namely the blood vortex in Paris and an orb made of nerves that consumes human flesh. Carl then tells the mask he doesn't believe he is Paul, but it insists that he actually is Paul. Carl threatens to set out to find the real Paul, saying he won't be very happy and will be even more angry with the mask. They then continue to shout the other's name at each other.

Death[]

In episode 12, Carl walks into Paul's apartment, now nothing but a pile of rubble, and finds his skeletal remains. Carl is saddened as he realizes his friend's death, and the mask falls silent again, confirming that Carl had been hallucinating its sentience all along. Carl stands atop a wrecked bridge, shouting his own name and shedding a tear before jumping into the water below and drowning.

Epilogue[]

A flashback on a smart phone, dragged across to leave a bloody smear on the floor, revealed what may have been the first time Carl hurt someone while knowing Paul; the plumber was mistaken as an intruder, thus Carl nibbled his hands off. Paul was upset, but Carl promised to never again hurt a living thing.

The present day: Upon hitting the water, Carl awakens to be floating in an endless void of dark colours and stars, until being lowered into a roofless suburban-style room. He is greeted by a purple heart-like entity protruding from a long tube, whom informed Carl they were "ready for him," though provided a vague non-answer to when the llama asked for what. Carl discovered that he could manifest two human hands that essentially acted as telekinesis; Carl uses his psychic hands to snap the tube, but it vanished before he could see how it tasted, leaving him stranded in the void of space again.

Carl apologised and offered excuses, so the tube reappeared, but he merely used his hands to break it before the tube could react; the creature chastised him, but Carl ignored it as he chugs the liquid "tube meat." Upon consumption, Carl heard Paul's voice from some unknown place, and asked him for help. Carl found his body lost cohesion, becoming deformed and stretchy like a deflated balloon. Carl briefly stumbled around the world, but then used his psychic hands to pull himself taut, then fire himself into the distance.

Carl's body manifested back to normal in a pleasant meadow during the day; he noted that it was the place that he first met Paul., however, corrected that it happened at night, whereupon the meadow was covered by night, with a full moon. Carl sees a wispy silhouette of Paul, and reminisced how the latter had been searching for something when they met; Carl fondly and sadly recalled how he felt Paul was made of moonlight, and magical feeling that he felt his kindly friend was always made of something mystical like moonlight. Carl remembered that Paul never found the thing he was seeking, and wonders if they are both still actually in that moonlit meadow. The spectral Paul faded, so Carl conjured one of his astral hands, which finds the missing item, a pen cap; Carl pondered how a llama could even hold a pen, although a strong breeze knocked the cap from his hand, which also burst, thus the item was lost again. Rainfall commenced, followed by thunder and lightning.

The environment faded out and reappeared as the interior of the house that Carl and Paul shared, while the storm still raged outside, and water trickled through the open window. Another Paul silhouette appeared, lamenting about how their plans are gone, but Carl encouraged they could still do something; a flash of lightning revealed that this Paul lacked a face, with it just being a featureless smoothness. Carl tried to suggest an indoor activity, settling on Truth or Dare. "Paul" chose Truth, allowing Carl to ask why he left, but the Paul explained that all living things are bound together by abstract threads, and each life taken severed a thread; and since Carl severed all threads, the Paul corrected that he didn't leave, it was Carl who left, as his slaughter made him abandon the world itself. Carl then demanded a Dare, thus the Paul dared him to bury himself deep underground and never emerge, remaining alone to spare everyone else from him.

Carl dug a deep dark hole and stood in the cavern underground. The tube creature appeared again; Carl was irritated as he thought he already ate it, though the creature merely asked what he was doing at the bottom of such a deep dark hole. Carl answered that he was becoming a productive member of society, which the creature unconvincingly acknowledged; Carl claimed he was trying to be good so that Paul would forgive him, but the creature expressed the belief that Carl was on the wrong track. Carl rejected the opinion, so the tube creature began to leave, but before disappearing, Carl irritably requested how he was on the wrong track. The creature answered with that Carl didn't deserve forgiveness, which annoyed Carl, but the creature continued that he killed everyone he had ever met, which Carl again deflected as a negative view to hold. The creature reiterated how Carl killed everyone; Carl claimed to feel about it, but the creature argued he only felt bad when something was taken from him, as Carl had been deaf to the losses he forced upon others.

Carl again snapped the tube creature's pipe body; not wanting to waste the "tube meat," he consumed it, however, it again turned his body into a deflated balloon-like state, as he awkwardly walked over a misty void, with a mountain in the background. Eventually, the "mountain" was revealed to be much closer, as it sprouting two legs and began lumbering towards Carl; the mountain was actually a large collection of fused faces that screamed endlessly, while raining blood. The faces monster danced briefly then walked over Carl, then crushed him beneath its mass of flesh.

Carl awoke upon the dirt, with his body now in the form of a puddle. An acorn fell next to him, and in a friendly tone described it being a lovely day, which Carl questioned if it was, yet the acorn claimed that it was a pleasant day somewhere. After some silence, Carl asked if he was beyond redemption, which the acorn immediately confirmed; Carl was annoyed since the acorn didn't know him, thus the acorn asked Carl to share details about himself. Carl began a monologue of various murders he committed in a hula hoop themed, which the acorn reacted with innocent awe; the acorn noted that Carl must love hula hoops, but Carl amended that he didn't, rather he had just killed so many people that he happened to have a significant subcategory related to hula hoops. The acorn commented that the murders sound horrible, which Carl agreed; then the acorn requested in what way had Carl attempted to redeem himself. Carl struggled to answer, though settled on how he had apologised a lot; the acorn, however, shared that simple apologies wouldn't be enough.

Carl demanded what would the acorn know, to which it replied it was an acorn; Carl insisted on clarification, which the acorn noted that Carl could become an acorn, too. Carl doesn't believe it to be a satisfactory option, however, the acorn countered that Carl had no more solutions anymore, with the only option being he should become a "big beautiful tree" (i.e. complete rebirth). Carl argued that he didn't want to become a tree because he was "Carl," to which the acorn quoted his "dangerous sociopath" comment to him; Carl crushed the acorn with his astral hand, although felt embarrassed when he realised the acorn was simply citing his own words back at him. It started to rain again, much to Carl's irritation.

Summoning both astral hands again, Carl stretched out his body so far that he covered everything in the void, and was able to "walk" via moving his head along his taut body. Carl declared that he will find Paul, and that Paul will listen to him and understand him. Everything turned red, as Carl was once again confronted by the sight of Paul's skeleton, though now had a heavenly glow. Carl remembered that Paul was dead, yet was concerned about how he forgot about it; Carl also acknowledged that Paul's death was his fault. As the red faded, Carl was restored to normal, back in the suburban-style room, although as rain poured into it. Carl heard Paul's voice again.

Carl called out to Paul's cries, noting about how Carl was having a bad time and is likely doomed, but Paul might be able to be okay; Paul would be fine if he stayed away from Carl, or as Carl realised, as long as he stayed away from Paul. The rain floods the room, and when Carl is submerged, his body vanished, leaving his green hat behind to float in the deluge, but from that hat emerged a bright white acorn. The acorn floated in water until it became air, gently landing upon the ground; one of the astral hands appeared and lightly pressed the acorn into the soil, which sand in a desert.

Despite the sandy earth, the acorn sprouted; over an unknown era, it grew into sapling, then small tree, moderate tree, until achieving the height of growth as a big beautiful tree. The tree was beneath a full moon; a ghostly green apparition representing Carl's hat appeared atop the tree, while a ghostly red apparition representing Paul's hat appeared upon the Moon.

The image of the reborn tree Carl and moon Paul was then contained in the smart phone that had shown the flashback.

Trivia[]

  • In the second episode, Carl mentions to Paul at one point that forgiveness sounds like "screaming and then silence". In the final episode, after realizing that Paul had died, Carl completely lost his mind and proceeded to scream to himself on top of a bridge (mimicking their past arguments) before jumping into the water below and leaving everything eerily silent.
  • In episode 8, Carl mentions that "there isn't a prison he can't nibble his way out of", implying that he's been to jail at least once.
  • In an add for the app game Llamas with Hats: Cruise Catastrophe, it is revealed that prior to Carl's cruise ship carnage, he nailed a bunch of hands to the wall of his home and praised it as "art". When Carl suggested leaving when Paul expresses disgust at his work, Paul laments that he never witnesses him move, causing Carl to respond that he doesn't see Paul move either. When Paul freaks out at the revelation, Carl begins to walk and declares that he will go on a cruise, where he can enjoy vacation and trap people in a confined space, much to Paul's shock.
  • He is not a villain in Llamas with Hats Recut, as he delights people instead of killing him. Paul is more villainous by comparison as he discourages him from delighting people.
  • In 2024, FilmCow released a secret recording about Carl's first incident, where it is revealed that the man arrived at the llamas' house to install their MSN TV cable box and Carl was only heard vocalizing when he attacked the man. It is unknown if the humans could not understand Carl and Paul's communications or if Carl consciously pretended to act non-anthropomorphic to lure the man upstairs.
