Armordillo

This character shares a lot of relationships. You can never have too many friends, but please refrain from adding minor relationships to this article.

This page not only contains lore, but it involves in-game secrets! Unless you want to be spoiled on secret characters, do not read this article.

### Gender

Genderless (uses male pronouns)

**Armordillo** is a creature with horns that resemble drills. It is found deep in caves underneath the surface of Planet Ch'in. However, a lone individual seems to have been documented on Planet Flittle-636. Oddly enough, this specimen doesn't live in a cave. To unlock Armordillo as a playable character, you must first have either Wirden, Pixiblaze, Bubblist, or Gigavipe on your team. Then, make your way to Steelspike Cavern. There will be a few puzzles to solve, but once you've made it to the end, you'll find an Armordillo. It will challenge you to a battle. Defeating it will give you its figurine.

## History/Lore

Armordillo were once quite rare on Planet Ch'in, with only a single individual being thought to exist. However, in recent times, this has been disproven with the finding of more Armordillos. As it turns out, the first documented individual, nicknamed by scientists "Arlo", was mysteriously sucked into a wormhole one day, and was never seen again. The Armordillo now lives in the Forgotten Ruins area, more specifically, in a shrine belonging to a guardian spirit. There, he waits for someone to challenge him.

## Stats

HP: 217

ATK: 104

DEF: 130

PRI: -3

CRT RT: 33%

CRT DMG: 4.5x

Regular Attack: Drill In (Armordillo drills into the target, dealing significant damage to them. This attack has no other effects.)

Special Attack: Shields Up (Armordillo takes some steel plates off of his shell and passes them to your teammates. The plates increase their defense stats by 33% for up to 7 hits.)

### Stat Analysis

Armordillo has very high stats... save for his priority. While that can be considered a drawback, there's a lot more to him than his low priority. His regular attack deals significant damage to a single foe, but no other effects occur. His special attack, however, serves a completely different purpose. His special attack increases your team's defenses by a high amount, but the effects wear off from a team member after 7 hits (multi-hit moves count once per hit). Overall, Armordillo is a powerhouse! Use him well.

### Item Drops

Steel Drill (86% chance)

Iron Scale (66% chance)

Shell Armor (59% chance)

Boulder (34% chance)

Mini Stalagmite (25% chance)

Cavern Water (13% chance)

## Relationships

### Wirden

Wirden is no match for Armordillo in terms of type matchup. Armordillo has the upper hand against Wirden.

### Pixiblaze

Pixiblaze poses a threat to Armordillo. Her fire magic can cook the steel body of Armordillo slowly but surely. Roast beast, anyone?

### Bubblist

Bubblist has a hard time getting past Armordillo's defenses. Apparently, his steel is rustproof.

### Frostyfly

Frostyfly isn't that effective on Armordillo. Armordillo isn't that effective on Frostyfly, either. Perhaps they just aren't cut out to fight each other.

### Gigavipe

Whenever Gigavipe's electricity touches Armordillo, it either gets absorbed by Armordillo, or it deflects the electric magic. Gigavipe can't take down this hard-to-beat behemoth!

### Melodragon

Melodragon and Armordillo are both quite sizable creatures found on Planet Ch'in. They may have met before, according to Melodragon.

### Shoutlet

Shoutlet is weak to Armordillo's ground-based magic. The earth absorbs electricity, after all... and what good is electricity when the earth just absorbs it?

### Mockpuppet

Armordillo seems unaffected by Mockpuppet's threats, scaring techniques, etc.

### Mekra and Mekrustation

Mekra and Mekrustation may have sharp claws, and Armordillo may have steel horns, but neither one can really do more than scratch the other.

### Bigwouth

Bigwouth would knock all his teeth out trying to saw Armordillo! And besides, he usually is found in the sea, not in caves.

### Timure

Timure's annoying ringing gets on Armordillo's nerves when he's trying to sleep. Such is life, though: distractions are everywhere.

### Mettamonst

Both parties are known for their sharpest features: Mettamonst's arms and tail, and Armordillo's horns. However, like is the case with Mekra, Mekrustation, Snappaw, Timure, and Razine, they can't slice each other or anything else like that that could kill them. It just won't happen.

### Boomblaze

Boomblaze is very weak to Armordillo's ground attacks. That fire won't do any good if it's not touching anything or being expelled from something.

### Octopois

Octopois's poison has no effect on Armordillo. None. Nothing at all.

### Razine

The poison spikes of Razine do nothing to Armordillo. All that they do is scratch Armordillo, but they don't hurt him nor do they poison him.

### Psiroch, Folden, and Snappaw

Psiroch seems to be most effective on Armordillo, out of the trio. Folden and Snappaw both don't deal that much damage to him due to type matchups.

### Reversia

In her cheery form, she's weak to Armordillo. However, in her evil form, she's regular effectiveness on Armordillo.
