'''Armadillo''' is a [[mob]] that spawns in warm biomes. [[Spider eye]]s, [[brush]]es, and [[lead]] can be used on the armadillo to breed, brush, or lead it respectively.

When a player is sprinting, mounting, or causes harm to an armadillo, or when an undead hostile mob is nearby, it rolls up into a cube-like shape to protect itself from harm.

==Breeding==
Armadillos can be bred with [[spider eye]]s, creating a baby armadillo. Feeding spider eyes to a baby armadillo will accelerate its growth by 10%.

==Drops ==
When an adult armadillo is killed by a player or tamed [[wolf]], it drops {{Xp|3}} experiences. Baby armadillos don't drop anything. {{Xp|1|7}} XP orbs are dropped upon succesful breeding the armadillos.

When a [[brush]] is used on it, the armadillo drops an [[armadillo scute]], which can be crafted into [[wolf armor]]. Doing so wastes 13 points of the brush's durability. There is no cooldown for brushing an armadillo, and no limit as to how many scutes they can drop, given the player has enough brushes. This is unnecessary however, as armadillos drop 1 scute every few minutes without the need of player interaction

== Trivia ==

* In real life, armadillos are excellent swimmers, being able to hold their breath for up to 6 minutes. This is not the case in Minecraft, however, as it drowns just as easily as any other mob. 
* Similarly to [[turtle]]s, armadillos don't drop scutes when killed, even though it wouldn't make sense in real life.
** This is because [[Mojang Studios]] is against the unnecessary killing of real-life animals in Minecraft
*Spiders are afraid of them, possibly due to the fact that they eat spider eyes.
*While you may expect it, armadillos actually cannot roll when curled up.
