alpaca

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a llama-like beast' is the definition.
(animal similar to the llama)

'a large bundle mostly put' is the wordplay.
'large' becomes 'L' (eg in clothes sizes).
'bundle' becomes 'pack' (pack can mean a bundle of items).
'mostly' means to remove the last letter.
'put' becomes 'a' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'pack' with its final letter removed is 'pac'.
'a'+'l'+'pac'+'a'='ALPACA'

'on' acts as a link.
