What is the Armadillo Mob in Minecraft?
Armadillo is a neutral mob. You can find them in the savanna biomes of the game. While exploring it is recommended you explore it on foot while not running. This is because when an armadillo feels scared it rolls up into a ball. So you might pass one by without noticing as they would appear a weird block.

As mentioned above, you need to go to the Savanna biomes when looking for them. Try not skipping your in-game sleep, as they are afraid of undead mobs. Also, make sure you are not mounted on a horse or any vehicle while approaching them. Additionally, don’t run toward one as soon as you spot it.
How to Get Wolf Armor
In order to get wolf armor, you need to collect 6 Armadillo scutes. They drop it randomly, or you can also brush one to get it from them. Once you have enough, you can place them as follows to craft it:
- 3 scutes in 1st column
- 1 scute at the middle slot
- 2 scutes in the center-right and bottom-right blocks.
Once you get the armor you can use it on a wolf to equip it. Do remember that only the one who has tamed the wolf can equip the armor on them. The same goes for unequipping, the owner can do that by using shear on their wolf that has it equipped.
The wolf armor provides the same defense as the Diamond Horse armor. Lastly, if the wolf dies while having the armor equipped, it simply drops there.
