Source An armadillo is a rodent-like mammal characterized by a thick but somewhat flexible armor that covers most of its quadruped body, almost like scale mail. When threatened, it curls into a ball covered in this armor, which can be surprisingly difficult to penetrate. Without a supernatural influence like magic, they almost never fight back.  The most common form of armadillo is about 2 feet long and weighs around 10 pounds. They survive almost exclusively on grubs and other insects, and can thrive in climates warmer than many predators would prefer. Though cats are a more popular pet, armadillos can similarly be good to have around to keep bugs and other pests at bay.
