Armadillo

Mobs & entity

The armadillo is a passive animal in Minecraft, meaning it poses no threat to players. It spawns naturally in six biomes, including Badlands, Eroded Badlands, Savanna, Savanna Plateau, and Windswept Savanna.

Players who want one elsewhere can use its spawn egg to bring an armadillo into the world, whether or not they are near those biomes.

Animations

5 of these were recorded inside the running game, so the movement is the animation Mojang shipped rather than an imitation of it. Transparent background, free to download.

Stats

Mojang publishes these numbers in the Bedrock behaviour pack (bedrock-samples); the Java edition keeps them in code, not in any data file. Most values match across editions, but not all — treat them as the Bedrock figures.
