Portraits

Armadillos and Bellwether Armadillos are level 3 creatures of Factory. They are recruited from the Ranch.

When affected by Haste, their walking animation changes to them curling into a ball and rolling across the battlefield.

Heroes with a specialty

• Celestine the Artificer has Armadillos as a specialty, which increases the attack and defense skills of any Armadillos or Bellwether Armadillos for each level attained after 3rd level, and gives them a speed bonus of 1.

User commentary

[Show user commentary] [Hide user commentary]

Armadillos are slow and have no abilities but serve as a living shield and backup for shooters. Due to absence of useful abilities and relatively bad characteristics among level 3 creatures (Armadillos are worse than Griffins with analogical characteristics) and Factory creatures separately, they may be used as an "extra" creature before the introduction of both Factory level 7 creatures at mid-late game. Otherwise, they have to be used like "reserve" units in Factory garrisons.
