So now we will be getting dog armor and a new mob in Savanahs! Now I don't think hope is lost for Crab or Penguins since it was hinted at they maybe added later like Frogs did!
What I learned about the armadillo that Minecraft is modeling theirs after:
Did you know that there are around 20 different types of armadillos, but only two types that can roll into a ball?
That's my way of sharing a fact and saying that I have no idea which one Minecraft would be basing theirs off of, but I do have some facts about the creatures that may make it into the game if you end up voting for this strange creature! (I've made one of these for each of the creatures and I'm, so far, partial to the penguin)
Fun Facts:
Armadillos have bad eyesight but a great sense of smell - This means that they may be very good at detecting you or very bad at it. Will they be able to smell you coming or never notice you because they can't figure out if you're a tree or not?
Armadillos have sharp claws - Not only can they defend, they can attack back! Perhaps messing with these creatures could leave you with some battle wounds.
Armadillos can hold their breath for about 6 minutes - They crawl right through rivers and streams without any issues. They also can swim by filling their body with air, swallowing it, and paddling across as they float. They probably wouldn't drown unless trapped under something.
Armadillos burrow underground to sleep for up to 16 hours - we could possibly find them in the many small holes and caves of the Savana or maybe they'd simply pop out of the ground like a tiny warden. though they might be harder to find as they tend to sleep for long periods of time.
Armadillos aren't territorial - They'll gladly give up their burrow or feeding grounds if it means avoiding a fight. No worries about invading territory it would seem. Though they are quite fast if you're trying to catch one, so hopefully we won't have to.
Armadillos are most active at dawn and dusk - when the sky is still bright but the sun isn't up in the sky. These critters are considered nocturnal so you might have to venture into the night to find them.
Armadillos mainly eat bugs but also small reptiles and amphibians with the occasional egg or plant - We may see bugs be brought into Minecraft, more than just silverfish, endermites, bees, and spiders! Creepy crawlies!! Perhaps they'll be able to eat all of these creatures. Imagine that, an armadillo killing a Minecraft spider!
The nine-banded armadillo can jump 4 feet into the air but can't roll into a ball - Only three-banded armadillos can roll into a ball and that's what Minecraft has advertised so I don't think we'll be getting any new high jumpers, but it's still a fun fact!
Remember that what we've been told so far about the mobs that we're voting for is just a little of what we could get and it may be different in delivery to what we expect and hope for. The dog armor will probably only be the one type and un-dyable as it won't be made of leather. The armor may not work against all types of damage. The armor might break very easily. The armor might not be able to be taken off once it's on.
We also could get some unexpected good things though! Perhaps it will be dyable. It might never break. You might be able to use armor trim on it. you might be able to enchant it.
My last customer of the day called and she's a 90 year old lady. I fix the problem with her order and then she goes, do you know much about armadillos?
I said not as much as I'd like but they're cute, do you know about armadillos?
And yes she did. That lady infodumped about armadillos and their extinct relative the Gylptodon for 20 mins straight.
Absolutely lovely lady, I love when people are so passionate about niche things. So many people are mean to me at work but not you armadillo lady, you're the best 💕
i think for me to be truly happy i need to turn into an armadillo. i need to be rolling around into a little ball all day evading my opps. i need to eat grass and have to be picked up by my handlers when i fall on my shell. i need to be an armadillo or i’d even settle for an orca tbh.
