A small, mundane creature, armadillos are infrequent and appear just one at a time.  They take 2 years to reach full size, and will live to be 10 to 15 years of age.  Males are called boars, and females are called sows.  It may take a while to establish a breeding program; however, it may be useful for their shells in areas that are not safe, or have no water to fish in.

A small mammal with a leathery hide. It can roll into a ball to escape predators.

Armadillos are small, solitary animals who inhabit most tropical biomes. A bit larger than your average cat, they're benign meanderers who do little but wander around aimlessly. When threatened, an armadillo can and will curl up into a ball; in this state, they will neither move nor attack, making them similar to a giant tortoise that has retracted into its shell. Male armadillos are called boars, while females are sows and infants are pups.

Armadillos can be captured in cage traps and trained into low-value exotic pets. They don't provide much food or bones when butchered due to their fairly small size, but do provide you with a shell that can be used by your bone carvers.

Some dwarves like armadillos for their thick, bony armor plates.

Admired for its thick, bony armor plates.
