Armadylan

**Armadylan** (real name: **Dylan**) is one of the supporting characters of the *PJ Masks* television series. He is a nighttime hero who eventually becomes a member of the Power Heroes later in the Season 6 episode "The Curse of Armadylan," and is Tatouro's counterpart from another universe set in a vigilante setting. He first appeared in the Season 2 episode "Meet Armadylan."

## History

In his debut episode, when he first met the PJ Masks, he didn't know how to use his powers at the right time and he had initially used his powers against other nighttime villains for arbitrary reasons.

The PJ Masks would criticize his heroic standards and flaws on fighting villains. However, Armadylan misunderstood their criticism and thought they didn't think he was a real superhero, and threatened to crush them.

As a solution, the PJ Masks decided to use their own powers against him so that they can help him on learning how to use his powers properly when needed in order to become a real superhero.

## Official Website description

#### Early

A character that wants to be a hero! Armadylan wraps into a ball and thunders about the city trying to do all the cool hero stuff but doesn’t really see what it means to be a hero and ends up trying to outdo the PJs and wreck their plans, siding with the villains instead!

#### Later

A big, strong kid, who thinks he’s one of the heroes! Armadylan's pyjamas turn into a bulky Super Costumes suit of armor, armadillo-style. He’s invulnerable, super-strong – and can roll himself into a ball and thunder about. With these amazing powers, he’s decided to be the best hero ever – but it doesn’t always work out that way!

## Personality

Armadylan is shown to be quite clumsy due to his powers unintentionally causing problems for himself and those around him. He is generally sympathetic and friendly, but he is also short-tempered and can become angry whenever other people upset or hurt him in any way. At most times, he has done unintentional villainous acts due to his short temper and gullibility. Regardless, he has a good heart deep down and always tries to do the right thing in the end.

## Motive & Abilities

#### Motive

In most of his appearances, due to his gullibility and/or inexperience at being a hero, Armadylan is seen doing antagonistic actions that can help the nighttime villains achieve their goals (mostly Night Ninja).

His antagonistic acts vary from stealing the PJ Masks vehicles, building his own personal Headquarters with Romeo by using the playground equipment or accusing the PJ Masks of stealing Flossy Flash comics.

Aside from that, there are other times where he actually helps the PJ Masks defeat villains, in order to show that he can be a good guy.

* **Rolling Thunder:** Allows him to use his cape to roll into an armored ball.
* **Dig Attack:** Same power as Ulbert, except he is able to dig tunnels in a tangible state instead of semi-tangible.
